New Roof or Laying a Floor

The mixer is booked and the labour is ready. Fix the hour before the concrete truck arrives.

A roof is what keeps your family safe. Adding a floor is a big milestone in any build. You want the slab cast soundly, and every worker on site safe.

The classical texts on muhurta shastra give roofing its own muhurat, apart from the foundation and the move-in. They also name days when a roof should not go up. We read those rules for the city of the site, on its own sunrise, inside the dates the slab can be cast.

What you get

Auspicious windows for the slab casting for the city of the site. The top 3 most auspicious ones highlighted. The days to avoid tagged along with the reasons. And, the classical text reference behind each recommendation.

What we need

The birth date, time and place of each owner, the city of the site, and the dates the slab can be cast.

This muhurat times the casting of a roof slab, called griha chhadana in the texts. It covers the roof of a new house and the slab for an added floor. The texts treat it as its own act, with its own good days and its own days to avoid.
