Bhumi Pujan Muhurat in March 2026

• 1 March Sunday — the rules never fix a bhumi pujan on a Sunday or a Tuesday.
• 2 March The Moon is in Ashlesha and Magha — none of them among the 13 nakshatras permitted for bhumi pujan.
• 3 March Tuesday — the rules never fix a bhumi pujan on a Sunday or a Tuesday.
• 8 March Sunday — the rules never fix a bhumi pujan on a Sunday or a Tuesday.
• 10 March Tuesday — the rules never fix a bhumi pujan on a Sunday or a Tuesday.
• 11–12 March The Moon is in Jyeshtha, Mula and Purva Ashadha — none of them among the 13 nakshatras permitted for bhumi pujan.
• 14–31 March The Sun is in Meena from 15 March 2026 to 14 April 2026.

• Where these rules come from: the griharambha (start of construction) rules of the vastu chapter of Muhurta Chintamani. No large almanac publishes a computed bhumi pujan list, and the lists that do circulate disagree with one another, so the rules are stated here in full.
• The Sun's sign: never while the Sun is in one of the four dual signs — Mithuna, Kanya, Dhanu or Meena (Dhanu 16 December 2025 – 14 January 2026, Meena 15 March 2026 – 14 April 2026, Mithuna 15 June 2026 – 16 July 2026, Kanya 17 September 2026 – 17 October 2026 and Dhanu 16 December 2026 – 14 January 2027). Dhanu and Meena are the two Kharmas months.
• Weekday: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday or Saturday (the Vedic weekday, which changes at sunrise). Never Tuesday or Sunday.
• Nakshatra: the Moon in one of these 13 — Rohini, Mrigashira, Pushya, Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, Chitra, Swati, Anuradha, Uttara Ashadha, Dhanishta, Shatabhisha, Uttara Bhadrapada and Revati.
• Tithi: Dwitiya, Tritiya, Panchami, Shashti, Saptami, Dashami, Ekadashi, Dwadashi, Trayodashi of either fortnight, and Purnima. Never Pratipada, Chaturthi, Ashtami, Navami, Chaturdashi or Amavasya.
• Guru and Shukra must be clear of the Sun: no date while Jupiter is within 11° of the Sun or Venus within 10° (8° while retrograde) — the classical combustion (asta) orbs.
• An adhika month is closed: Adhika Jyeshtha, an adhika month, runs from 17 May 2026 to 15 June 2026.
• Chaturmas: not a rule here. The solar-month rule keeps the months of the Sun in Karka and Simha open, so the monsoon has dates; families who avoid Chaturmas for construction can skip them.
• The day: sunrise to the next sunrise, for New Delhi. A day any closed period touches is left out whole; inside the days that remain, the muhurat is the time when every condition above holds at once, for at least 20 minutes.
• Not checked here: the plot itself — where the first dig is made, which follows the Sun's sign — the lagna (a fixed lagna is preferred) and the owner's own chart. A priest or vastu consultant fixes these on site.
