Why are the housewarming dates for Chennai different from an Indian calendar?

The Hindu day runs from local sunrise to local sunrise, so the tithi and nakshatram in force on a given date in Chennai are read at Chennai's sunrise — not Chennai's. On days where an element changes near dawn the two calendars simply land on different dates. Every date on this page is computed for Chennai specifically.

Q: How many housewarming dates are there in 2027 for Chennai?

34 in 2027. Dates for entering a new home. The fixed and soft nakshatras are preferred, the growing (shukla) fortnight is preferred, and the same three months are avoided. Diaspora note: closing dates rarely bend, so the list is deliberately wider than the wedding's.

Why these dates

Each date above passed every rule for a housewarming in our published rule set — the nakshatram and tithi prevailing at sunrise in Chennai, the weekday, the Tamil month, and where it applies the planetary combustion (moudhyam) periods and eclipse days. The rahu kalam column is a caution rather than a filter: the date can be good and the hour still needs choosing.
