House Shifting Muhurat 2026 — Moving into New Home Timings
Find the best muhurat for house shifting in 2026. Moving into a rented or new home at an auspicious time brings peace and prosperity — check the ideal tithi, nakshatra, and weekday.
How to choose the right muhurat
House shifting (even into a rented home) is considered significant in Hindu tradition — the energy you enter with sets the tone for your stay. An auspicious time for the first entry brings positivity, good health, and prosperity to the household.
Auspicious factors for house shifting: (1) Tithi — Shukla Paksha tithis preferred, especially Panchami, Saptami, Dashami, Ekadashi; (2) Nakshatra — Swati, Rohini, Mrigashira, Hasta, Anuradha, Shravana, Dhanishta, Revati, Uttara Phalguni; (3) Vara — Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday; (4) Avoid Rahu Kaal, Yamaghantaka, Gulika Kalam, and Chaturmas (July-October).
Unlike Griha Pravesh (which is for newly constructed homes), house shifting can be simpler — but the first entry should still be at an auspicious time, ideally before noon, carrying a lit diya, rice, and a coconut. In many regions, a simple Ganesh puja and vastu shanti are done the same day.
