Vehicle Purchase Muhurat in May 2025
Vehicle purchase muhurat is the auspicious time to buy a car, bike or any other vehicle, or to take its delivery. Tuesday and Saturday are left out, and so are Pitru Paksha and Adhika masa, and only the hours of a favorable nakshatra and tithi are listed.
The muhurat is usually kept for the payment or the delivery of the vehicle, and many families do a small puja before the first drive. If the dealer fixes your delivery date, pick the nearest hour listed here.
