Griha Pravesh Muhurat in Chennai - 2026
For griha pravesh in Chennai (Tamil Nadu), timings are adjusted for local coordinates (13.08N, 80.27E). Rahu Kalam, sunrise, sunset, and Lagna calculations differ from standard Delhi-based muhurat lists because Chennai is at a different longitude. Always use city-specific timings for accurate muhurat.

Why Chennai-specific timings matter
Standard muhurat lists are calculated for Delhi or Ujjain. Chennai is at 13.08N latitude and 80.27E longitude, which shifts sunrise, sunset, Rahu Kalam, and Lagna timings. A muhurat that starts at 7:15 AM in Delhi may start at earlier in Chennai. Using generic timings can mean performing the ceremony during an inauspicious window in your actual city.
FAQ
Q.Can Griha Pravesh be done on Saturday?
Saturday is ruled by Saturn and is generally avoided for Griha Pravesh. However, if the owner's chart shows a strong and benefic Saturn, and other Panchang factors are favorable, some astrologers permit Saturday entry. Thursday and Friday are the most preferred days.
Q.Is Griha Pravesh needed for rented homes?
Traditionally, Griha Pravesh is for newly constructed or newly purchased homes. For rented homes, a simpler "Udak Shanti" (water purification) ceremony on an auspicious day is sufficient. The full Griha Pravesh Puja is optional for rentals.
