Why some months have no dates
- 17 May 2026 – 15 Jun 2026: Adhik Jyeshtha (leap month) ()
Dates are for India (IST). A period that touches part of a day rules that whole sunrise-to-sunrise day out.
How these dates are chosen
This is the Panchang Shuddhi step: the day’s , , , and weekday must all be suitable at the same time. For buying a vehicle the Yoga and Karana are not restricted.
- Nakshatra: Rohini, Mrigashira, Punarvasu, Pushya, Hasta, Chitra, Swati, Anuradha, Shravana, Dhanishtha, Shatabhisha and Revati.
- Tithi: Tritiya, Panchami, Shashthi, Ashtami, Dashami, Ekadashi, Trayodashi, Purnima and Krishna Pratipada.
- Weekday: not on Tuesday or Saturday. Not in an , and a window that only opens late at night (after the first fifth of the night) is left out.
These are the rules behind Drik Panchang’s vehicle-purchase list; our tests compare the 2026 New Delhi dates with it.
Everything is computed from the real sidereal () positions of the Sun and Moon — the same engine as our daily Panchang — for each place’s own sunrise-to-sunrise day. Windows shorter than 5 minutes are dropped. How we calculate this →
Frequently Asked Questions
A window qualifies when the Moon is in Rohini, Mrigashira, Punarvasu, Pushya, Hasta, Chitra, Swati, Anuradha, Shravana, Dhanishtha, Shatabhisha or Revati, the Tithi is Tritiya, Panchami, Shashthi, Ashtami, Dashami, Ekadashi, Trayodashi, Purnima or Krishna Pratipada, and the day is not a Tuesday or Saturday or in an Adhik (leap) month. Windows that only open late at night are left out.
We use the rules behind Drik Panchang’s vehicle-purchase list. In our automated test against Drik’s published 2026 list for New Delhi (January to early August, the part we could read), all 52 of its dates appear here with time windows agreeing to within a few minutes; we list one extra late-evening window.
The Tithi and Nakshatra change at the same moment everywhere, but a Hindu day runs from local sunrise to the next sunrise, and the clock time depends on the time zone. So a window can start or end at a different local time, and occasionally fall on a different date, in another city. The list above is for New Delhi; choose your city to recompute it in your browser.
Customs differ — many people take delivery or bring the vehicle home in the window, others make the payment or do the vehicle puja then. Use the window for whichever step your family treats as the start.
