Bhoomi Pujan Muhurat 2027

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between bhoomi pujan and griha pravesh?

Bhoomi pujan is the worship of the land and the shilanyas (ground-breaking) before construction begins; griha pravesh is the first ceremonial entry into the completed home. Each has its own page of dates here.

Can bhoomi pujan be done in Krishna paksha?

Yes — unlike griha pravesh, bhoomi pujan is not bound to the waxing fortnight, so favourable days from either paksha are listed when the nakshatra, tithi and weekday agree.

Why are there no bhoomi pujan dates during Panchak?

Panchak — the Moon's transit of Dhanishta through Revati — specifically bars construction work, so the whole band is excluded from these dates.

When during the day should the ground-breaking begin?

In a dosha-free daytime window on the listed date, with the Abhijit Muhurta — about 48 minutes around local solar noon — highlighted as the prime slot. Begin outside Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda and Gulika Kaal.

How are these muhurat dates calculated?

Each day is scored against the five limbs of its Drik panchang — tithi, vara (weekday), nakshatra, yoga and karana — following the classical muhurta tradition — the Muhurta Chintamani, the Kalaprakasika and B.V. Raman's Muhurtha. Days carrying a dosha (Amavasya, the Rikta tithis, Bhadra or Panchak) are then removed, leaving only the auspicious dates for New Delhi.

Are the timings valid for my city?

The dates are anchored to New Delhi (IST). The auspicious day is usually the same across India, but the sunrise-based windows — and intervals like Rahu Kaal and Abhijit — shift a little by location, so check the full panchang for your own city before fixing a time.

Why do some months have no dates?

The strict rules drop the inauspicious tithis and nakshatras, and the seasonal pauses — Kharmas (Malmaas), Chaturmas and Adhik Maas — halt major beginnings entirely. A month sitting inside one of those windows can legitimately show few or no dates.

What is the Abhijit Muhurta?

Abhijit is the roughly 48-minute window around local solar noon, ruled by Lord Vishnu and considered auspicious for almost any task. The Muhurta texts treat it as a 'victory' window, and we highlight it as the prime slot within the griha pravesh and bhoomi pujan windows.

What are Bhadra, Panchak and the Rikta tithis?

These are the classical doshas we exclude. Bhadra (the Vishti karana) and Panchak (the Moon in the last five nakshatras, Dhanishta to Revati) are inauspicious periods; the Rikta tithis — the 4th, 9th and 14th of each fortnight — are the 'empty' tithis avoided for new beginnings.

Should I still consult an astrologer?

Yes. These dates are a strong, rule-based shortlist, but they are computed for a generic chart. For a wedding or any major event, confirming the muhurta against your own birth chart with an astrologer is recommended.
