Shubh Vivah Muhurat 2026-27: Month-wise Marriage Dates

Vivah muhurat 2026-27: month-wise dates

These are days with at least a 30-minute window that passes the classical panchang checks for marriage, calculated for New Delhi. Time windows for each date are on the vivah muhurat page.

How is a shubh vivah muhurat chosen?

Our calculator follows the rules summarised from Muhurta Chintamani that most printed panchangs use. For a day to qualify, a window of at least 30 minutes must satisfy all of these together:

• Nakshatra: one of Rohini, Mrigashira, Magha, Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, Swati, Anuradha, Mula, Uttara Ashadha, Uttara Bhadrapada or Revati.
• Tithi: not a Rikta tithi (Chaturthi, Navami, Chaturdashi) and not Amavasya.
• Weekday: Tuesday is avoided.
• Sun’s sign: the Sun in Mesha, Vrishabha, Mithuna, Vrishchika, Makara or Kumbha.
• Yoga and karana: the nine inauspicious yogas and karanas such as Vishti (Bhadra) are excluded.
• Season blocks: no dates in Kharmas, Chaturmas, Holashtak or Pitru Paksha, or while Venus or Jupiter is combust (asta).

This is called panchang shuddhi. It finds the clean days. Inside a chosen day, the family pandit then fixes the exact lagna for the pheras, which depends on the city and the couple’s charts.

Why are there no shaadi dates from July to October 2027?

This is Chaturmas, the four months from Devshayani Ekadashi to Prabodhini (Devuthani) Ekadashi, when tradition holds that Lord Vishnu rests and marriages are not performed. The wedding season restarts after Devuthani Ekadashi, which is why our list resumes on 20 November 2027.

There is also a gap from about mid-December 2026 to mid-January 2027. That is Kharmas, when the Sun is in Dhanu. A similar pause from about mid-March to mid-April 2027 is the Sun in Meena, and Holashtak before Holi falls in the same stretch, which is why March dates stop in mid-month and April’s begin only on the 18th.

Which months are best for marriage in 2027?

By count, May 2027 (14 days) and June 2027 (12 days) are the busiest, followed by February (9) and January (8). Busy months also mean higher demand for halls, caterers and travel. If you have flexibility, a less crowded month such as November 2026 or April 2027 can be easier to book.

1. Shortlist two or three months that suit both families.
2. Open vivah muhurat for those months and note the dates with long windows.
3. Run kundli milan if your family follows it.
4. Share the shortlist with your pandit to fix the lagna and time.
5. Book the venue early for May and June dates.

Do vivah muhurat dates differ by city?

Sometimes. Tithi and nakshatra change at the same instant everywhere, but the local day runs from sunrise to sunrise, so a window near sunrise or late at night can fall on a different date in Kolkata than in Ahmedabad. The list above is for New Delhi. Most dates hold across India, but always confirm with your local panchang or pandit before printing cards.

TipDifferent traditions also use slightly different rules; some allow the later part of an inauspicious yoga, for example. If your family panchang shows a date we do not, both can be right within their own rules.

Shaadi ki tarikh kaise chune: practical checklist

A muhurat narrows the calendar, but the right date also has to work for real people. Before you lock one in, check these:

• Window length and timing. Some days pass only for a short window late at night or before dawn. Look at the start and end times on the vivah muhurat page before choosing.
• Weekend or weekday. Saturday and Sunday dates get booked first. A weekday date with a long window can save money and stress.
• Travel and exams. For guests travelling far, avoid peak holiday rush, and check board exam months for younger family members.
• Weather. Late May and June are very hot in North India; outdoor events may need evening timing or covered venues.
• Registration. If you plan to register the marriage, keep documents ready. Registration itself is valid on any working day and does not depend on a muhurat.

Once you have two or three dates that work, add them to your phone with the calendar file from the muhurat page so the whole family sees the same shortlist.
