🏠Griha Pravesh
Griha Pravesh Muhurat, January 2026
Nothing in January 2026 is available for a griha pravesh: the month sits entirely inside Shukra asta, so the five limbs of the panchang were never the deciding factor. Which day would otherwise have been the strongest is still worth knowing, because it tells you where to look in the months either side.

The whole of January is inside Shukra asta · 31 days of this month
Dhanu Kharmas — 16 December to 14 January · 14 days of this month
No day qualifies
January 2026 is shut end to end, so no day was ever in contention. No day comes within a single rule of passing either. No month of 2026 for this rite stands out — 5 of the 12 are level at the top with 1 day each.
The days that carried the four fixed (Dhruva) nakshatras
A house is meant to stand, so the four Dhruva nakshatras come first — Rohini, Uttara Phalguni, Uttara Ashadha and Uttara Bhadrapada.
| Day | Nakshatra | Tithi | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Thu | Rohini | Shukla Trayodashi | Shukra asta |
| 9 Fri | Uttara Phalguni | Krishna Saptami | Shukra asta |
| 19 Mon | Uttara Ashadha | Shukla Pratipada | Shukra asta |
| 24 Sat | Uttara Bhadrapada | Shukla Shashthi | Shukra asta |
| 29 Thu | Rohini | Shukla Ekadashi | Shukra asta |
Which rule did the excluding
31 days of January were shut by a closure and never examined. Of the 0 that were, none passed everything; 0 missed by a single rule and 0 by two or more, though one of this rite's 11 accepted nakshatras ran on 12 days of it.
| Rule | What it asks for | Days it excluded | On its own |
|---|
Read the last column as a counterfactual. Nothing in January 2026 fails on exactly one rule with everything else in place, so there is no single concession that would widen the shortlist.
Nakshatra supply. 11 of the 27 are accepted for this rite, and they fell on 12 days of January 2026, with Rohini coming round twice.
Weekday supply. January 2026 holds 18 days of the right weekday (Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday), 0 of them outside a closure, and not one of those survive the rest of the filter — against 12 days supplied by the 11 nakshatras. Unlike the sky's four limbs, this is the one the calendar fixes.
Stated for Apoorva Griha Pravesh, a first entry into a newly built house. Re-entry after repairs or a long absence is treated more leniently, and Chaturmas is often accepted for it.
Every day of January 2026, and what ruled it out
All 31 days with the verdict and the reason, each linked to its own panchang page: 31 shut before being read, 0 examined against 11 nakshatras, 0 through.

January 2026 against the rest of 2026
The year holds 5 days for a griha pravesh. This month's 0 ranks 6th of the twelve, level with 6 other months. No month stands out — 5 of the 12 are level at the top with 1 day each, and nothing at all in January, March, May, July, August, September, October.
The other six occasions in January 2026
Same 31 days, seven different filters: in January they return between 0 and 1 qualifying days, median 0. This rite’s 0 is the median itself, and the reason is the 11-nakshatra set and the 5 closures it carries.
Questions about January 2026
How many days in January 2026 are good for griha pravesh?
None. January 2026 lies entirely inside Shukra asta, which closes the month for this occasion whatever the day's panchang says.
Is any part of January 2026 closed for auspicious beginnings?
Shukra asta covers the whole of January. Venus is combust — within 10° of the Sun in longitude, closest on 6 January. Shukra governs conjugal life, so a pandit declines these days however good the tithi and nakshatra are. Dhanu Kharmas, 16 December to 14 January. The Sun is in Sagittarius. Auspicious beginnings are deferred through the whole transit; it ends at Makar Sankranti.
Why do other sites list more griha pravesh dates in January 2026?
The closures alone take 31 of this month's 31 days — Shukra asta, Dhanu Kharmas apply here — and a list assembled without them has 31 more days to draw on than this one does. Of the 0 that were examined, each was checked against all five limbs.
Which nakshatras matter most for griha pravesh?
The four fixed (Dhruva) nakshatras, for a thing meant to last, with the soft and movable ones. Within that set, the four fixed (Dhruva) nakshatras is the group this occasion is built on, and January 2026 carries 5 days on which one of them falls: 1 January (Rohini), 9 January (Uttara Phalguni), 19 January (Uttara Ashadha), 24 January (Uttara Bhadrapada), 29 January (Rohini).
