⭐ What is Ravi Pushya?

Pushya is the eighth of the 27 nakshatras, and the Moon passes through it about once a month. Tradition regards it as one of the most auspicious for purchases and new beginnings. When the Pushya window overlaps a Sunday (counted from sunrise to the next sunrise), it is called Ravi Pushya. Sunday belongs to the Sun, which tradition links with gold.

🕒 How to use the times

  • Treat the window shown for each date as the time to buy. It is clipped to the Sunday itself, so it can start in the evening or end in the morning.
  • Avoid Rahu Kaal within the window. On a Sunday it falls in the late afternoon, and your city's exact time is on the guide page.
  • The times are calculated from the Moon's position and are accurate to about ten minutes. For an exact muhurat, check a panchang for your city.

✅ Before you buy, on any date

  • Look for the BIS hallmark and HUID on gold jewellery, and ask for a bill that lists purity (karat) and weight.
  • Compare making charges between jewellers. They vary far more than the gold rate does.
  • Check the day's gold rate before you pay. On festival days many jewellers run offers, so compare the final bill, not the discount.

Frequently asked questions

What is Ravi Pushya Nakshatra?

It is the combination of Pushya Nakshatra with a Sunday. Pushya is widely regarded as one of the most auspicious nakshatras, and Sunday is the day of the Sun, which tradition links with gold.

How often does Ravi Pushya occur?

Pushya Nakshatra occurs about once a month, but it counts as Ravi Pushya only when it overlaps a Sunday. That happens several times a year, so the dates on this page are spread out.

How are these Ravi Pushya timings calculated?

From the Moon's position in the sidereal zodiac (Lahiri ayanamsa): the Moon is in Pushya between 3°20' and 16°40' of Karka. The window is then clipped to the Sunday. The results match published panchang lists to within about ten minutes.

What is the difference between Guru Pushya and Ravi Pushya?

Only the weekday: Guru Pushya falls on a Thursday (Jupiter's day) and Ravi Pushya on a Sunday (the Sun's day). Both are traditionally auspicious, and customs vary by region and community.

Do I have to buy gold on Ravi Pushya?

No. It is a custom, not a requirement, and it is not financial advice. If you do buy, check the BIS hallmark and HUID and compare making charges.
