🔨 Which date is auspicious to start home renovation?
घर की मरम्मत / रेनोवेशन शुरू करने का शुभ मुहूर्त • computed from live planetary positions
Start renovation on a favourable tithi and a fixed or skilled nakshatra (Rohini, Hasta, Chitra, the Uttaras), on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. Roof and slab work must additionally avoid Panchak. Avoid beginning on Tuesday — Mars plus demolition invites accidents — and on your Chandrashtama.

How this muhurta is determined
Renovation sits between construction and routine work: no bhoomi pujan is required unless you open the earth or touch the roofline, but the first hammer still deserves a chosen hour. Hasta and Chitra — the craftsman's and the designer's stars — are particularly suited to work whose goal is beauty.
Two cautions carry real weight: Panchak for any roof, ceiling or bed-related work (its named domains), and Tuesday for the START of work involving breaking or cutting — Mars begins demolition well but governs injuries too. Let Tuesday be a mid-project workday, not the opening.
If the household continues living in the home during work, also avoid starting on the householder's Chandrashtama — disruption lands harder when your Moon is weakest.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need bhoomi pujan before renovation?
Only if the work opens the ground (new foundations, borewell, major extension) or replaces the roof. For interior renovation a short Ganesh smaran and a good starting day suffice.
Painting and furniture work — any timing rules?
These are gentle works: any favourable weekday outside Panchak serves. New BEDS specifically should not be set up during Panchak — that prohibition is explicit in the tradition.
