Auspicious Dates & Muhurat for Griha Pravesh and Shifting

Choosing a shubh muhurat for griha pravesh and shifting is a cherished tradition. Here's a practical, respectful overview — always confirm the exact date with your family priest or a current panchang.

How muhurat is usually chosen

• Priests consider the tithi, nakshatra and the position of planets for your family.
• Certain months and periods (for example Chaturmas or the Shraddh fortnight) are traditionally avoided by many families for housewarming.
• Auspicious nakshatras and bright-fortnight (Shukla Paksha) days are often preferred.

Balance muhurat with cost

Popular muhurat dates and festival windows are also when movers are busiest, so prices rise and slots fill fast. If your chosen date is a peak one, book well in advance to lock a fixed price.
