Gold Buying Muhurat 2027

About Gold Buying Muhurat

A gold-buying muhurat picks the day when bringing home the metal of Lakshmi invites lasting wealth. Pushya — her own nakshatra — is the most prized star for the purchase, and its meetings with Thursday (Guru Pushya) and Sunday (Ravi Pushya) are the celebrated buying days of the tradition; festival days like Dhanteras and Akshaya Tritiya are auspicious in their own right besides. Gold is a purchase, not a saMskara, so no seasonal pause applies — favourable days occur in every month, each narrowed to the good Choghadiyas.

How Gold Buying Muhurat dates are chosen

• ✓ The classical sixteen-member purchase set qualifies — the swift, gentle, movable and fixed ganas from Ashwini through Revati — with Pushya, the nakshatra of Lakshmi, the most prized of all. Pushya on a Thursday (Guru Pushya) or Sunday (Ravi Pushya) is the tradition's celebrated buying day.
• ✓ The favoured tithis — 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 10th and 11th — rank 'most auspicious'; the other benign tithis, including Trayodashi — the tithi of Dhanteras itself — qualify as 'suitable'. The Rikta tithis (4th, 9th, 14th) and Amavasya are excluded as everywhere.
• ✓ Thursday (Jupiter, the lord of gold and wealth) is the best weekday; Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Friday are good. Saturday is firmly barred — gold is never bought on Shani's day — and Tuesday is avoided as for any purchase.
• ✓ Panchak does not bar jewellery — buying ornaments during it is held auspicious — so the band's benefic stars stay in; and no seasonal blackout applies (gold is a purchase, not a saMskara), so dates appear in every month.
• ✓ Each day's timing is narrowed to the good Choghadiyas — Amrit, Shubh, Labh and Chal. Choghadiya is the popular almanac convention for timing purchases; the classical texts work by hora and lagna instead.
• ✓ Four parva (festival) days carry the festival's own sanction and are listed even when the regular gates would exclude them: Dhanteras — gold's most celebrated day, by trade tradition — and the sade-teen muhurat days Gudi Padwa, Akshaya Tritiya (whose acts the Dharmasindhu calls undiminishing) and Vijayadashami.

Good to know

• ✦ Dates calculated for New Delhi (IST). Timings shift slightly for other cities.
• ✦ All five panchanga limbs are weighed together — a day is strong only when an auspicious nakshatra also falls on a benefic tithi and a gentle weekday.
• ✦ Abhijit Muhurta — the ~48-minute window around solar noon — is treated as universally auspicious, and is highlighted as the prime slot within the griha pravesh and bhoomi pujan windows.
• ✦ Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda and Gulika Kaal are inauspicious daily intervals; begin the actual ceremony outside these, even on a listed date.
• ✦ Kharmas / Malmaas — when the Sun transits Sagittarius (mid-Dec→mid-Jan) or Pisces (mid-Mar→mid-Apr) — pauses marriages and major beginnings.
• ✦ Chaturmas — from Devshayani to Prabodhini Ekadashi — pauses marriage, griha pravesh and several saMskaras.
• ✦ During Adhik Maas (the leap lunar month) auspicious beginnings are traditionally paused, so some months may show few or no dates.
