Shubh Muhurat Wedding Dates 2027: Month-by-Month Panchang

Shubh muhurat wedding dates for 2027 concentrate in May and June, restart in November after Chaturmas, and skip mid-December through mid-January when Kharmas is on. If you are picking a date, understanding those three inauspicious windows matters more than the exact tithi of any single day.

The list below is cross-referenced from Drik Panchang and GaneshaSpeaks, both calculated for New Delhi latitude and longitude. Regional panchang traditions — Bengal, Kerala, Karnataka Madhwa — will shift some dates by a day and drop or add a few based on their tithi count. Confirm with a family purohit before locking a venue.

Vivah muhurat calendar 2027

Dates marked with an asterisk are where sources disagree — Jan 24, May 8 and July 1 need local pandit confirmation. Times of muhurat within the day are not listed here; check the source for the specific auspicious hours.

Why August, September and October are blank

Chaturmas begins on Devshayani Ekadashi, when Lord Vishnu is believed to enter cosmic sleep. In 2027 that falls around 15 July. Vishnu is said to wake on Devuthani (Prabodhini) Ekadashi in early November, and Tulsi Vivah — the ceremonial marriage of Tulsi and Shaligram — marks the resumption of the auspicious season. Traditional dharmashastra therefore rules out marriages in these four months.

Practical exceptions exist. In some southern traditions, the muhurat calendar is calculated differently and a few dates do appear in this window. Bengali marriages sometimes follow their own list. But if you are following the north Indian Drik Panchang, August through early November of 2027 is closed.

Why December stops on the 14th

Kharmas is the roughly 30-day period each year when the Sun moves through Sagittarius (Dhanu Rashi). It begins around 14–15 December every year and ends around 14–15 January when the Sun enters Capricorn (Makar Sankranti). Kharmas is not as strict as Chaturmas — many auspicious activities are still allowed — but marriages are avoided because the Sun is considered weak in Sagittarius, and marriage is a solar-influenced sanskar.

This is why the December 2027 list ends on the 14th and the January 2028 list will restart around the 15th of that month.

Peak dates for artist booking

If you are booking a live singer, band or DJ, the crowded dates below are where you should lock the artist at least four months out. On these evenings a top-tier act will have 10–15 competing enquiries.

• 14–15 February 2027 — Rohini nakshatra weekend, considered ideal for vivah.
• 7 May 2027 — another Rohini day; likely the single most-booked date of the year.
• 15–17 May 2027 — three consecutive muhurat days over a weekend.
• 19–21 June 2027 — end-of-season weekend before Chaturmas begins.
• 15 November 2027 — first weekend after Devuthani, Rohini nakshatra.
• 13 December 2027 — last strong Rohini date before Kharmas.

How to align a wedding with a muhurat

The mistake most families make is picking the muhurat first and then discovering the venue or the priest or the singer is unavailable. The right sequence:

1. Confirm the family purohit is available on your shortlisted dates. His or her calendar during peak season is the tightest of all.
2. Check the venue. Palace hotels and destination venues in May and June book out 12–14 months ahead.
3. Then reach out to the artists. Send an enquiry to three or four with your top two date options. A written quote with the date locked keeps them from double-booking.
4. Sign contracts within 7 days of quote. Peak-season quotes have short shelf lives.

Our wedding booking guide walks through the six-month booking timeline and the contract clauses that matter once you have the date fixed.

Regional variations to check

The consolidated list above is the north-India Drik Panchang view. If you follow a different tradition, ask your purohit to reconfirm:

• Bengali. The Bengali panchang uses its own tithi count and often adds a few dates the north Indian list omits.
• Malayalam. Kerala families check the Malayalam calendar and specific timings within each day.
• Madhwa Kannada. Some dates shift by a day; the reasoning is a different tithi-day boundary.
• Gujarati. Aligned closely with Drik but some samvat-based calendars change the year label.

Every panchang is doing the same underlying astronomy — they only differ on where the day boundary falls and how conservative the acceptable window is.
