Marriage Muhurat 2027

Frequently asked questions

Which nakshatras are best for marriage?

The Muhurta texts name eleven vivah nakshatras: Rohini, Mrigashira, Magha, Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, Swati, Anuradha, Mula, Uttara Ashadha, Uttara Bhadrapada and Revati. Every date listed here falls on one of these.

Can a wedding take place on a Saturday or Sunday?

Yes — classical tradition firmly bars only Tuesday for vivah. Saturday and Sunday are middling (madhyama) rather than forbidden, so such dates are listed under the 'suitable' tier instead of 'most auspicious'.

Why are there no marriage dates from mid-December to mid-January?

That is Kharmas (Malmaas) — the Sun's transit of Sagittarius — when marriages traditionally pause. The same applies from mid-March to mid-April (Sun in Pisces), through Chaturmas and Adhik Maas, and whenever Jupiter or Venus is combust (asta), since both planets must be strong for a wedding.

Why are there no dates in the last days of Krishna paksha?

B.V. Raman's Muhurtha rejects the dark fortnight from Krishna Ekadashi through Amavasya — the waning Moon's final days — even when it falls on the best nakshatras. Lists that show weddings on those days skip this rule; here they are excluded, so the days before Amavasya always sit empty.

Do these dates replace kundli matching?

No. They are the panchang-level shortlist every couple shares; gun milan and the strength of Guru and Shukra in the two birth charts are personal, and should be confirmed with an astrologer before the wedding is fixed.

How are these muhurat dates calculated?

Each day is scored against the five limbs of its Drik panchang — tithi, vara (weekday), nakshatra, yoga and karana — following the classical muhurta tradition — the Muhurta Chintamani, the Kalaprakasika and B.V. Raman's Muhurtha. Days carrying a dosha (Amavasya, the Rikta tithis, Bhadra or Panchak) are then removed, leaving only the auspicious dates for New Delhi.

Are the timings valid for my city?

The dates are anchored to New Delhi (IST). The auspicious day is usually the same across India, but the sunrise-based windows — and intervals like Rahu Kaal and Abhijit — shift a little by location, so check the full panchang for your own city before fixing a time.

Why do some months have no dates?

The strict rules drop the inauspicious tithis and nakshatras, and the seasonal pauses — Kharmas (Malmaas), Chaturmas and Adhik Maas — halt major beginnings entirely. A month sitting inside one of those windows can legitimately show few or no dates.

What is the Abhijit Muhurta?

Abhijit is the roughly 48-minute window around local solar noon, ruled by Lord Vishnu and considered auspicious for almost any task. The Muhurta texts treat it as a 'victory' window, and we highlight it as the prime slot within the griha pravesh and bhoomi pujan windows.

What are Bhadra, Panchak and the Rikta tithis?

These are the classical doshas we exclude. Bhadra (the Vishti karana) and Panchak (the Moon in the last five nakshatras, Dhanishta to Revati) are inauspicious periods; the Rikta tithis — the 4th, 9th and 14th of each fortnight — are the 'empty' tithis avoided for new beginnings.

Should I still consult an astrologer?

Yes. These dates are a strong, rule-based shortlist, but they are computed for a generic chart. For a wedding or any major event, confirming the muhurta against your own birth chart with an astrologer is recommended.
