इलेक्ट्रॉनिक्स / फ़र्नीचर खरीदने का शुभ दिन • computed from live planetary positions
Buy electronics on Wednesday (Mercury — machines of intellect), furniture and comforts on Friday (Venus), and anything meant to last on Thursday, on a favourable tithi. One firm rule: BEDS are not bought or first-used during Panchak. Avoid your Chandrashtama for anything expensive.

How this muhurta is determined
Household purchases sort neatly by their ruling graha: Mercury owns computing, phones and appliances of skill (Wednesday); Venus owns furniture, décor and comfort (Friday); Jupiter owns whatever must endure and appreciate (Thursday). Matching the weekday to the item is the whole art here — this is among the lightest muhurta classes.
The one classical hard rule in this category concerns beds and bedding: purchasing or first assembling a bed during Panchak is explicitly named among the five Panchak prohibitions. The engine below blocks Panchak days automatically when this matters.
For online orders, the muhurta follows the older logic of delivery: time the arrival and first use where you can, and the payment on a good tithi where you cannot. Rahu Kaal applies to the deliberate act — placing the order or first switching on.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does an online order have a muhurta — payment or delivery?
First USE is the truest muhurta (the older texts time the object entering service), with payment second. Practical rule: order any day, but unbox and first-use in a good Choghadiya on a favourable day — and never assemble a new bed in Panchak.
Which day is best for buying a phone or laptop?
Wednesday — Mercury rules instruments of communication and intellect — with Thursday a close second for something meant to serve years. First power-on outside Rahu Kaal completes it.
