How we score a Vahana muhurat
Every date is scored 0 to 100 on the classical Vahana factors:
- Tithi: Dwitiya, Tritiya, Panchami, Saptami, Dashami, Ekadashi and Trayodashi of the bright half are favored; Amavasya is excluded
- Weekday: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are favored; Tuesday and Saturday are excluded
- Nakshatra: Ashwini, Rohini, Mrigashira, Punarvasu, Pushya, Hasta, Chitra, Swati, Anuradha, Shravana, Dhanishta and Revati are favored
- Lagna window: the best intra-day window with a strong, benefic lagna
- Exclusions: Rikta tithis (Chaturthi, Navami, Chaturdashi), Jwalamukhi Yoga days and eclipse days are excluded outright
Dates we exclude, and why
These classical prohibitions remove a date from the Vahana list entirely:
- Rikta tithis: Chaturthi, Navami and Chaturdashi of either paksha are considered hollow for new acquisitions
- Amavasya: the new-moon day is excluded for vehicle purchase
- Tuesday and Saturday: both weekdays are treated as inauspicious for buying a vehicle
- Jwalamukhi Yoga: the fierce tithi-nakshatra combinations are barred for travel and new ventures
- Eclipse days: no new beginnings on solar or lunar eclipse days

Cross-check: we compared our dates against Drik Panchang's vehicle-buying muhurat list for Oct-Dec 2026. Our Oct 12, Nov 25, Dec 14 and Dec 30 picks all land on Drik's shubh list. Drik rejects our Nov 11 pick outright (prohibited tithi corrupting an auspicious nakshatra), where our engine scores it 96 on the strength of its nakshatra and weekday: a genuine rule difference, disclosed here. Drik also excludes the Pitru Paksha fortnight (Oct 1-10) for vehicle purchase, which we do not.

Frequently asked questions
What makes November 11, 2026 the best vahana date this season?
November 11, 2026 scores 96, the highest in our Oct-Dec 2026 window. Shukla Dwitiya tithi is favored for Vehicle Purchase. Wednesday is a favored weekday for Vehicle Purchase. Anuradha nakshatra is favored for Vehicle Purchase.
What makes a good Vahana muhurat?
A favorable tithi, weekday and nakshatra, a strong lagna window, and freedom from Rikta tithis, Tuesday, Saturday, Amavasya, Jwalamukhi Yoga and eclipse days.
Can I buy a car on Tuesday or Saturday?
Classical vehicle-purchase texts treat both Tuesday and Saturday as inauspicious, so this engine excludes them. If your schedule forces one of these days, pick the strongest lagna window and consult your pandit.
Do Vahana muhurat dates change by city?
Yes. Sunrise, sunset and the resulting lagna windows shift with location and timezone, so a date that is excellent in Delhi may score differently in Chicago or London. Always check for your city.
