Property muhurats

The day you properly enter your new home. You get a ranked set of dated, timed windows checked against your chart and against every standard prohibition — sankranti, eclipse, panchak, adhika masa — so the date holds up when the family asks how it was chosen.

Chhat dhalai — the day the structure is finally closed over. You get the auspicious windows, which matters when the concrete has to be booked days ahead.

Registry day is the largest cheque most families ever write. You get windows timed to your chart rather than to the builder's convenience — including the dates worth refusing.

Registry, ground breaking, roof laying and house warming — the whole arc from signing for it to sleeping in it. At 45% off the four separately, this is the best value in the catalogue.
