புதன், 21 அக்டோபர், 2026 – வேத முகூர்த்தம்
Shukla Paksha • Dashami • Dhanishta நட்சத்திரம்
On புதன், 21 அக்டோபர், 2026 (Wednesday, also called Budhvar), the moon is in Dashami (day 10 of the waxing moon), with the moon transiting Dhanishta nakshatra. The yoga is Ganda and the karana is Garaja.
The shukla paksha continues — neither a fast day nor a major festival tithi by default. The tenth tithi — Vijayadashami falls on Shukla Dashami in Ashwina / Aippasi; considered victorious for new starts. Dhanishta is considered movable — favourable for music, group activity and short journeys.
Wednesday is ruled by Mercury and is favoured for study, writing, contracts and short trips.

How astrologers read this date
In Vedic muhurta practice, three pieces of information are checked first: the tithi (Dashami), the nakshatra (Dhanishta) and the weekday (Wednesday). For புதன், 21 அக்டோபர், 2026, that combination produces a routine day.
- Marriage muhurtham: the basic check is not favourable on this date; consult an astrologer for a different date.
- House-warming (gruhapravesham): the nakshatra is acceptable but not classically preferred.
- Vehicle purchase / new business: the weekday is supportive — avoid Rahu Kalam.
- Travel: the nakshatra is light/movable — favourable.
The above is a quick rule-of-thumb based on classical muhurta tables. Regional traditions (Tamil, Kerala, Bengali, Maharashtrian) sometimes weigh things differently — for binding decisions, consult a qualified astrologer with your janma rashi and lagna.
