Vehicle purchase Muhurat, 2026 & 2027
All 730 days of 2026 and 2027 run through the filters this rite asks for. 67 days pass all of them — 29 in 2026, 38 in 2027. 152 days never reached the test — Kharmas, Adhika maas shut them first — and the remainder failed on a limb the month pages name one by one.

Why one year is wider than the other
2027 returns 38 qualifying days for a vehicle purchase and 2026 returns 29. The filter is identical in both and so is the closure list, so the whole difference is in where the closures fall — an intercalary lunar month in 2026 and not in 2027, and combustions that cost 45 days in 2026 against 8 days in 2027 because a combustion inside Chaturmas takes days Chaturmas had already shut. Take those two out of both years and the gap in open days falls from 73 days to 6; the cluster page works that through for all 7 occasions.
For this rite the effect is uneven rather than a shift. November 2 then 8, September 5 then 1, January 0 then 3, February 3 then 6 — no month returns the same count in both years. 8 calendar dates qualifies in both years: 18 February, 26 February, 29 April, 25 June, 30 July, 1 October, 25 November, 26 November.
| Year | Qualify | One short | Closed | Lost that would have passed | Open days in the calendar |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 29 | 90 | 91 | 12 | 102 |
| 2027 | 38 | 102 | 61 | 9 | 175 |
“Open days in the calendar” counts the days no closure covers at all, before any limb is read, and is the same figure for every occasion. The two columns before it are this rite’s own.
Month by month, 2026 and 2027
22 months of the 24 offer at least one qualifying day. January 2026, March 2026 offer none — not because the month is shut, but because no day's five limbs agreed. Each row links to the day-by-day working.

Every qualifying day, in full
The whole shortlist on one page — 67 days across 22 months of 2026 and 2027, with the tithi and nakshatra that carried each. Between them sits the longest empty stretch of the two years: 52 days from 27 February 2026 to 19 April 2026 with nothing available for this rite at all.

Each date links to its own panchang page for the end times of the tithi and nakshatra, and for Rahu Kaal and Abhijit inside the day. The window for the ceremony itself is elected inside one of these days against the charts of the people involved — that is a second pass no calendar can do.
The filter, in full
Nakshatra: 13 of the 27 — the movable (Chara) and swift nakshatras, which suit a thing that travels, plus the soft ones.
Punarvasu, Swati, Shravana, Dhanishta, Shatabhisha, Ashwini, Pushya, Hasta, Mrigashira, Chitra, Anuradha, Revati, Rohini.
Tithi: anything but the Rikta tithis — Chaturthi, Navami, Chaturdashi — and Amavasya.
Vara: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. Yoga: the nine ashubha yogas excluded. Karana: Vishti excluded.
Closures: Kharmas, Adhika maas. A purchase is not a samskara, so Chaturmas is widely treated as open for it. Dhanteras and Akshaya Tritiya are used regardless of the panchang.
Which of its own nakshatras did the work
A set of 13 nakshatras does not contribute evenly. Hasta produced the most qualifying days for this rite across 2026 and 2027, 8 of the 67. Every one of them produced at least one.

By weekday. Of the 4 weekdays this rite accepts, Friday returned the most at 21 days — Friday 21, Wednesday 16, Thursday 16, Monday 14. The weekday is the one limb whose supply the calendar fixes rather than the sky: 2026 and 2027 together hold 418 days of an accepted weekday, 330 of them outside a closure, and 67 survive the rest of the filter.
What the closures cost this rite
2 of the 5 kinds of closed period apply here, removing 152 days across 2026 and 2027 before a limb is read. 21 of those days would have passed all five limbs — that is the real cost of the list, and it is why a calendar that skips the closures returns dates this one does not. Not applied: Asta, Holashtak, Chaturmas.

Questions
How many auspicious days for vehicle purchase are there in 2026 and 2027?
67 days pass every filter this occasion asks for, out of 730 — 29 in 2026 and 38 in 2027. 152 days fall inside a closed period and were never examined; the rest failed on one or more of the five limbs. November 2027 is the widest month of the 24 at 8 days, and 2 months have none at all.
Are 2027's dates just 2026's moved by a few days?
No — the change is a redistribution, not a shift, and it is different for every rite. 2027 returns 38 qualifying days for a vehicle purchase and 2026 returns 29, but the months move independently: November goes from 2 to 8, September goes from 5 to 1, January goes from 0 to 3. Only 8 calendar dates qualifies in both years for this rite — 18 February, 26 February, 29 April, 25 June, 30 July, 1 October, 25 November, 26 November. The reason is above — an intercalary month in one year and not the other, and combustions that fall inside Chaturmas in one year and in open season in the other.
Which months of 2026 and 2027 are closed for vehicle purchase?
Not one of the 24 is closed end to end for this occasion. Closures still remove 152 days across the two years, but they always leave part of the month open.
What rules out a day for vehicle purchase?
Over 2026 and 2027 together, nakshatra did the most excluding: it ruled out 304 of the 578 days that were examined at all, the other 152 having been shut by a closure before a limb was read. The rule most worth relaxing is a different one: 72 days fail on nakshatra and nothing else, so setting that single rule aside and holding the other four would return 139 days instead of 67. The movable (Chara) and swift nakshatras, which suit a thing that travels, plus the soft ones. The full filter is set out above, and each month page names the failing limb for every single day.
Which nakshatra gives the most days for vehicle purchase?
Hasta, with 8 of the 67 across 2026 and 2027. Every one of this rite's 13 nakshatras produced at least one qualifying day, though not in equal numbers. By weekday, Friday returned the most at 21 days.
