Vehicle Purchase Muhurat in Shimla - 2026
For vehicle purchase in Shimla (Himachal Pradesh), timings are adjusted for local coordinates (31.10N, 77.17E). Rahu Kalam, sunrise, sunset, and Lagna calculations differ from standard Delhi-based muhurat lists because Shimla is at a different longitude. Always use city-specific timings for accurate muhurat.

Why Shimla-specific timings matter
Standard muhurat lists are calculated for Delhi or Ujjain. Shimla is at 31.10N latitude and 77.17E longitude, which shifts sunrise, sunset, Rahu Kalam, and Lagna timings. A muhurat that starts at 7:15 AM in Delhi may start at later in Shimla. Using generic timings can mean performing the ceremony during an inauspicious window in your actual city.
FAQ
Q.Which day of the week is best for buying a car?
Tuesday (Mars - ruler of vehicles and machinery) is traditionally the best day. Thursday (Jupiter) and Friday (Venus - ruler of luxury) are also good. Saturday and Sunday are generally avoided. The specific Panchang of that day matters more than the day alone.
Q.Should I check muhurat for booking or delivery?
Check muhurat for delivery (when you physically take possession of the vehicle), not the booking date. The moment you first sit in and start the vehicle is the "birth" of your relationship with it in Jyotish terms.
