Shubh Vivah Muhurat 2027: which months have wedding dates, and which do not
Hindu wedding dates in 2027 fall in three windows: mid January to mid March, mid April to early July, and mid November to mid December. Chaturmas and the two Kharmas periods block the rest of the year.

The three gaps, explained
Most people looking for a muhurat are really asking why their preferred month has no dates in it. There are three reasons, and they repeat every year.
- Chaturmas. From Devshayani Ekadashi in Ashadha to Devuthani Ekadashi in Kartik, roughly July to early November, Vishnu is said to rest and auspicious ceremonies pause. This is the longest gap in the year.
- Kharmas in Dhanu. From about 16 December until Makar Sankranti in mid January, while the Sun transits Sagittarius.
- Kharmas in Meen. From about 14 March until mid April, while the Sun transits Pisces.
- Adhik Maas. An extra lunar month inserted roughly every 32 months. When it falls, the weddings in that month move. Check whether one falls in your year before fixing anything.
Why the November to December weeks are so crowded
Chaturmas ends in early November, which releases four months of held back weddings into six weeks. The Confederation of All India Traders estimated about 46 lakh weddings in the November to December 2025 season alone.
That is why venues, photographers and caterers are booked a year ahead for those weeks, and why invitations for that season go out far earlier than couples expect.
What this means for your invitations
Work backwards from the muhurat. Save the date goes out as soon as the date is fixed, often six months ahead for a November wedding. The invitation itself goes out four to six weeks before, and replies close about two weeks before, when the caterer needs the number.
If the muhurat shifts after you have invited people, that is the one moment a printed card becomes expensive and a live link costs nothing. You change the time and every guest who opens the link sees the new one.
Confirm the day itself with a panchang
The windows above are structural and stable. The exact auspicious days inside them depend on the tithi, the nakshatra and your family's tradition, and they differ between the North Indian and South Indian calendars.
Take the window from this page, then take the day from your family priest or your regional panchang. Anyone publishing an exact list without saying that is guessing.
The wedding year, month by month
| Period | Wedding dates | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 1 to about 14 January | No | Kharmas. The Sun is in Dhanu until Makar Sankranti. |
| Mid January to mid March | Yes | The first season. Magha and Phalguna muhurats. |
| About 14 March to 13 April | No | Kharmas again. The Sun is in Meen. |
| Mid April to early July | Yes | The big season. Vaishakha, Jyeshtha and early Ashadha. |
| Early July to early November | No | Chaturmas, from Devshayani Ekadashi to Devuthani Ekadashi. |
| Mid November to about 15 December | Yes | The festive season, and the busiest weeks of the year. |
| About 16 to 31 December | No | Kharmas begins again when the Sun enters Dhanu. |
Dates are the standard panchang structure and shift by a day or two each year. Confirm your exact tithi with your family priest.
Common questions
Mid January to mid March, mid April to early July, and mid November to mid December. The rest of the year is blocked by Chaturmas and the two Kharmas periods.
That is Chaturmas, from Devshayani Ekadashi to Devuthani Ekadashi. Auspicious ceremonies pause for those four months in most Hindu traditions.
Send the save the date as soon as the muhurat is fixed, often six months ahead, and the invitation itself four to six weeks before. November and December are the most crowded weeks of the year and guests book travel early.
