🏠Griha Pravesh
Griha Pravesh Muhurat, October 2026
Nothing in October 2026 is available for a griha pravesh: the month sits entirely inside Chaturmas, 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 October is inside Chaturmas · 31 days of this month
Shukra asta — 18 October to 30 October · 13 days of this month
No day qualifies
October 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 | Krishna Panchami | Chaturmas |
| 9 Fri | Uttara Phalguni | Krishna Chaturdashi | Chaturmas |
| 19 Mon | Uttara Ashadha | Shukla Ashtami | Chaturmas |
| 24 Sat | Uttara Bhadrapada | Shukla Trayodashi | Chaturmas |
| 29 Thu | Rohini | Krishna Chaturthi | Chaturmas |
Which rule did the excluding
31 days of October 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 13 days of it.
| Rule | What it asks for | Days it excluded | On its own |
|---|
Read the last column as a counterfactual. Nothing in October 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 13 days of October 2026, with Rohini and Mrigashira coming round twice.
Weekday supply. October 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 13 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 October 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.

October 2026 against the rest of 2026
October 2026 is 6th of the twelve, level with 6 other months of 2026 for this rite. No month carries the most — 5 of the 12 are level at 1, and 7 months carry none, out of 5 for the year.
The other six occasions in October 2026
Same 31 days, seven different filters: in October they return between 0 and 3 qualifying days, median 2. This rite’s 0 is on the narrow side of that, and the reason is the 11-nakshatra set and the 5 closures it carries.
Questions about October 2026
How many days in October 2026 are good for griha pravesh?
None. October 2026 lies entirely inside Chaturmas, which closes the month for this occasion whatever the day's panchang says.
Is any part of October 2026 closed for auspicious beginnings?
Chaturmas covers the whole of October. Devshayani Ekadashi to Dev Uthani Ekadashi, the four months Vishnu is held to be asleep. Marriages stop across almost every community. Pitru Paksha sits inside it and is avoided in its own right. Shukra asta, 18 October to 30 October. Venus is combust — within 10° of the Sun in longitude, closest on 24 October, moving retrograde. Shukra governs conjugal life, so a pandit declines these days however good the tithi and nakshatra are.
Why do other sites list more griha pravesh dates in October 2026?
The closures alone take 31 of this month's 31 days — Chaturmas, Shukra asta 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 October 2026 carries 5 days on which one of them falls: 1 October (Rohini), 9 October (Uttara Phalguni), 19 October (Uttara Ashadha), 24 October (Uttara Bhadrapada), 29 October (Rohini).
