Pashu Kraya muhurat: shubh dates for buying cattle
Pashu Kraya (Cattle Purchase)
Pashu Kraya, in everyday speech the muhurat for buying cattle, is the timing for the day a cow, buffalo, bullock pair or other livestock first comes into your keeping. Families take a shubh muhurat for it because the animal is treated as entering the household rather than merely being purchased, and the first tying at the post is done with a small puja. Tarini gives you ranked dated, timed windows for पशु क्रय मुहूर्त, judged against the buyer's own birth chart alongside the panchang, with the nakshatras, tithis and hours to avoid, so the handing over and the animal's first arrival fall in a favourable slot.
About this muhurat
For buying cattle — the day the animal first comes to you.
The cattle purchase muhurat covers the moment of taking possession - the money handed over, the rope taken, and the animal led to its place - which families mark with haldi, a garland and a first feed of grain and jaggery. It is taken when buying milch cattle for the household, a bullock pair for the field, or stock for a dairy, and when an animal is received as a gift or as part of a dowry. The rite is short and is usually held in the morning at the buyer's home.
What you receive
- Ranked, dated and timed cattle purchase windows within the period you choose
- Judged against the relevant birth chart, not a generic panchang
- Days and windows to avoid, marked clearly
