If your baby shower lands in the second half of 2026, picking the right day is half the planning done. Here are the auspicious Godh Bharai, Dohale Jevan and Seemantham muhurat dates from September through December 2026, drawn from the Hindu Panchang, along with the periods most families work around. (Planning earlier? Our July–August 2026 guide covers those months.)

What Makes a Baby Shower Date Auspicious

A pandit weighs a few things together before calling a day shubh:

• Month of pregnancy. The seventh month is the usual choice, and the ninth works too. Most families skip the eighth.
• Weekday. Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are the favoured days, with Thursday and Friday especially liked.
• Nakshatra. Rohini, Mrigashira, Pushya, Hasta, Anuradha, Shravana and Revati are among the stars considered good for the ceremony.
• Tithi. Dwitiya, Tritiya, Panchami, Saptami, Dashami and Trayodashi are preferred. Amavasya, Purnima, Chaturthi, Ashtami and Navami are left out.

Auspicious Dates, Month by Month

Dates to Approach with Care

• Pitru Paksha (around 27 September to 10 October 2026). This is a fortnight for remembering ancestors, and many families hold off on celebratory ceremonies during it. If a date in that window suits you, talk to your pandit before fixing it.
• Mid-December onward. Kharmas (Dhanurmas) begins when the Sun moves into Sagittarius, roughly mid-December, and auspicious ceremonies pause until mid-January. That's why December has only the one early date.
