वाहन खरीदने / डिलीवरी का शुभ मुहूर्त • computed from live planetary positions
Take vehicle delivery on a Monday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday, on a movement-friendly nakshatra — Ashwini (the celestial horsemen), Pushya, Hasta, Chitra, Swati, Shravana or Revati — avoiding Tuesday (Mars — accidents) and your Chandrashtama. Do the Ganesh puja and break the coconut before the first drive.

How this muhurta is determined
Ashwini — the twin horsemen — is the vehicle star par excellence; Chitra adds beauty, Swati smooth movement, Revati safe passage. Tuesday deliveries are the one firm avoidance: Mars rules both engines and accidents, and the tradition declines to mix them on his own day.
Delivery, not booking, is the muhurta: the day the vehicle becomes yours in your hands. Booking and payment follow ordinary good-day rules (Thursday for value, Wednesday for negotiation), but the puja, the lemon under the wheels and the first drive belong to delivery day, in a Shubh or Labh Choghadiya, outside Rahu Kaal.
Saturday is genuinely mixed here — Saturn rules iron and machines, and some traditions accept Saturday delivery for commercial vehicles — but for a family car the gentler weekdays are preferred. Check your own date in CHECK mode; showroom month-end pressure is real and the calendar below tells you instantly whether their date clears your filters.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Saturday good or bad for taking vehicle delivery?
Mixed. Saturn rules machinery, so commercial and goods vehicles tolerate Saturday well; for a personal car most traditions still prefer Monday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. Tuesday is the day to genuinely avoid.
What is done at the first drive?
A Ganesh smaran, tilak on the bonnet, a coconut broken before the wheels, lemons under the front tyres to be crushed as it rolls, and the first drive toward a temple or at least eastward — short, calm and in a good Choghadiya.
