The barred direction on each day
Yatra carries a rule the filter cannot apply for you, because it depends on where you are going: the dishashool, one direction shut on each weekday.

Which rule did the excluding
No closure touches November 2026, so all 30 days were examined. 3 passed everything, 11 missed by a single rule, and 16 missed by two or more, in a month where one of this rite's 11 accepted nakshatras ran on 12 days. Nakshatra is the binding constraint here, ruling out 18 of the 30.
| Rule | What it asks for | Days it excluded | On its own |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tithi | anything but the 3 Rikta tithis and Amavasya | 7 | 3 |
| Vara | Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday | 8 | 1 |
| Nakshatra | 11 of the 27 | 18 | 3 |
| Yoga | none of the nine ashubha yogas | 10 | 4 |
| Karana | not Vishti (Bhadra) at sunrise | 5 | — |
Read the last column as a counterfactual. 4 days of November fail on yoga and nothing else — 6, 11, 16, 22 — so a family willing to set aside that one rule has those days available. No other single relaxation buys as much.
Nakshatra supply. 11 of the 27 are accepted for this rite, and they fell on 12 days of November 2026, with Swati and Pushya coming round twice, while Revati did not fall at sunrise at all — of 11 accepted stars the 27-fold division and the calendar month do not divide evenly, so a favoured one can simply be skipped.
Weekday supply. November 2026 holds 22 days of the right weekday (Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday), none of them inside a closure, and 3 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.
Yatra has a weekday rule of its own — the dishashool, a direction barred on each day — which depends on where you are going and is not applied here. Tuesday and Saturday are excluded as the generally avoided days.

November 2026 against the rest of 2026
Set against the other eleven months, November 2026 ranks 9th of the twelve, level with 1 other month with 3 of the year's 45. The distribution is uneven by design: the closures move by weeks from year to year, so a month open this year need not be open next.
The other six occasions in November 2026
Same 30 days, seven different filters: in November they return between 1 and 3 qualifying days, median 1. This rite’s 3 is on the generous side of that, and the reason is the 11-nakshatra set and the absence of any closure it carries.
Questions about November 2026
How many days in November 2026 are good for long travel / yatra?
3 days of the 30 pass every filter: 1 November (Sunday), 26 November (Thursday), 29 November (Sunday). They are not evenly spread — the widest gap between two of them is 25 days. 11 further days miss on one rule alone and are listed with the rule they missed.
Is any part of November 2026 closed for auspicious beginnings?
No, and not only in November 2026: no closed period is applied to long travel / yatra anywhere in the year. Kharmas, Adhika maas and Chaturmas gate the samskaras and the undertakings meant to last, which is where this site applies them; a journey is judged on the panchang of the day it begins. Every day of November 2026 was decided on the five limbs and on the weekday rule, which bars Tuesday and Saturday.
Why do other sites list more long travel / yatra dates in November 2026?
No closure touches November 2026, so the difference is the five limbs themselves: nakshatra alone rules out 18 of the 30 days, and 5 of the five bite at all this month. A list that returns four or five dates for any month you name is not reading a panchang.
Does a qualifying day work for travel in any direction?
No, and that is the one rule this page cannot apply for you. The dishashool bars one direction on each weekday — Sunday West, Monday East, Wednesday North, Thursday South, Friday West — and it depends entirely on where you are going. The table above gives the barred direction for each day so you can rule it in or out yourself.
