Vehicle Purchase Muhurat, October and November 2026: 21 Computed Dates

Published 11 September 2026 · Last updated 11 September 2026

The festive stretch carries most of India's annual vehicle buying. All 61 days of October and November 2026 were run against the classical purchase filters. 21 cleared, including Dhanteras on Friday 6 November and a Pushya nakshatra Sunday on 1 November. This page also states the rule distinction that decides whether Dhanteras belongs on a list like this at all.

The dates

Why Dhanteras survives a filter that would remove a wedding

Dhanteras falls on Kartik Krishna Trayodashi, which sits inside chaturmas, the four month stretch in which the tradition suspends marriage and housewarming. A generator that applied one rule set to every life event would therefore remove the single largest vehicle buying day in the Indian year, which is visibly wrong.

The tradition separates these. Chaturmas restricts auspicious beginnings of the marriage and griha pravesh class. Acquisition is governed by nakshatra and tithi, which is exactly why Dhanteras functions as a purchase festival while weddings wait for Devuthani Ekadashi. Our generator takes the suspension rules as a parameter per event, and the vehicle configuration has chaturmas switched off with the reason recorded in the code.

The two dates worth knowing

Sunday 1 November 2026. The Moon occupies Pushya, the nakshatra the tradition favours most for acquisition, and it falls on a weekend a week before the festival crowd. For buyers who want the classical acquisition star without the showroom queue, this is the quieter computed window.

Friday 6 November 2026. Dhanteras by the evening observance convention, with the Moon in Hasta and a favoured weekday. Buyers following the sunrise convention will take Saturday 7 November, which the filters also admit with the Moon in Chitra. Both conventions are computed on the Dhanteras page.

The admitted nakshatras

Ashwini, Rohini, Mrigashira, Punarvasu, Pushya, Hasta, Chitra, Swati, Anuradha, Dhanishta, Shatabhisha and Revati. Rikta tithis four, nine and fourteen are removed, as is amavasya. Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday are graded favoured for vehicles, and Tuesday and Saturday are reported and flagged, since practice varies by region.

What this list does not do

A muhurat is personal. The same date reads differently against two birth charts, and the dasha a person is running, the strength of the relevant house lord and the Moon in the nativity all change which of these days is the right one. This table is the calendar layer, which is what every competing page publishes without saying so. The per chart layer is Kaal Imprint.

Method

Positions come from the Swiss Ephemeris at a 06:00 IST reference hour under the True Pushya Paksha ayanamsa by PVRN Rao. Tithi is the angular separation of Moon and Sun in twelve degree steps. One generator serves every life event on this site and takes the admitted nakshatra set and the suspension rules as inputs, so the difference between one ceremony and another is a stated configuration, and the filters applied to each page are listed on that page in full.
