Shubh Vivah Muhurat 2026–27: Auspicious Marriage Dates and Venue Demand

The Drik Panchang marriage calendar lists 96 dates in 2027: 9 in January, 13 in February, 7 in March, 9 in April, 18 in May, 16 in June, 6 in July, 11 in November and 7 in December. There are none in August, September or October.

This is Chaturmas, the four months from Devshayani Ekadashi to Dev Uthani (Prabodhini) Ekadashi, when Hindu weddings are traditionally not held. In 2027 the last date before the break is 12 July and the first date after it is 10 November.

That is Kharmas, the month when the Sun is in Sagittarius (Dhanu). Weddings resume after Makar Sankranti. For the 2026–27 season the last December date is 12 December 2026 and the first January date is 15 January 2027.

May (18 dates) and June (16 dates). These are the hottest months in Rajasthan, Gujarat and Goa, so outdoor palace and beach weddings are uncomfortable. They suit hill destinations such as Mussoorie, Shimla and Coorg, or indoor ballroom weddings, and venues are usually easier to book.

For a Friday to Sunday date between November and February, book the venue 12 months ahead or more, especially for Udaipur and Jaipur palace hotels. High-demand dates need 9 to 12 months. Quiet auspicious dates in spring and summer can often be booked with 6 months' notice.

Panchangs use different rules and locations. Some check only the panchang elements (tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and weekday), others also check the lagna, and regional calendars such as Gujarati, Marathi or Tamil follow their own traditions. Sunrise times also change by city. Treat this list as a starting point and confirm the final date and time with your family priest.

No. The muhurat window is for the main ceremony, the pheras or saptapadi. Haldi, mehendi, sangeet and the reception can be planned at other times around it. When a muhurat falls late at night or before sunrise, we plan the décor, lighting and guest schedule around that time.
