Wedding Dates 2027: Hindu Marriage Muhurat

2027 Wedding Dates: What to Know Before You Choose

The list above has 72 Shubh Vivah Muhurat dates in 2027, from 18 January 2027 to 13 December 2027. Not every month is open for weddings, so it helps to know where the dates are and where they are not before you start calling venues.

• Most dates: May, with 13. Expect venues, pandits and vendors to book up first here. See the best month for a wedding.
• Months with no muhurat: August, September and October. Weddings are traditionally paused during Chaturmas, so there is nothing to book in these months.
• Weekend dates: 22 of the 72 dates fall on a Saturday or Sunday. See the weekend list.
• Winter or summer: 30 winter and 42 summer dates. See the winter and summer wedding muhurat.
• Exact timing: a muhurat date is not the same as a muhurat time. The time of the pheras depends on your city, so ask your pandit ji.

A simple way to use this page: shortlist two or three dates that suit both families, check them with your pandit ji and the venue, and then fix one. Once the date is final, the wedding planning checklist below covers what to book and when.

January 2027 Marriage Dates

There are 10 Shubh Vivah Muhurat dates in January 2027.

January is the middle of winter, so these are winter wedding dates: cold evenings, a lot of fog in north India, and a full season of marriages after Kharmas ends in mid-January. Plan warm outfits, heaters and a covered area for the baraat and the pheras.

February 2027 Marriage Dates

There are 9 Shubh Vivah Muhurat dates in February 2027.

February is the last stretch of the winter wedding season, with mild days and chilly nights. It suits a daytime outdoor function or a destination wedding before the heat arrives.

March 2027 Marriage Dates

There are 6 Shubh Vivah Muhurat dates in March 2027.

March sits between winter and summer, so it feels like a late-winter or early-spring wedding: pleasant days and only a little chill at night. There are fewer dates because Kharmas begins in mid-March.

April 2027 Marriage Dates

There are 9 Shubh Vivah Muhurat dates in April 2027.

April is where the summer wedding season begins. Days are already warm, so an evening muhurat and an air-conditioned banquet hall or a shaded lawn are more comfortable for guests.

May 2027 Marriage Dates

There are 13 Shubh Vivah Muhurat dates in May 2027.

May is peak summer, so a summer wedding in May needs some planning: prefer a night muhurat, book coolers or air-conditioning, and choose lighter fabrics for the lehenga and the family outfits.

June 2027 Marriage Dates

There are 9 Shubh Vivah Muhurat dates in June 2027.

June is the hottest and driest month in most of north India, and the monsoon can arrive before the month ends. Choose a night muhurat and keep an indoor backup if the wedding is outdoors.

July 2027 Marriage Dates

There are 5 Shubh Vivah Muhurat dates in July 2027.

These July dates fall in the early monsoon. If you choose one of them, keep a covered or indoor backup for the baraat and the pheras.

August 2027 Marriage Dates

There is no wedding muhurat in August 2027. Chaturmas: weddings are traditionally paused until Dev Uthani Ekadashi.

September 2027 Marriage Dates

There is no wedding muhurat in September 2027. Chaturmas: weddings are traditionally paused until Dev Uthani Ekadashi.

October 2027 Marriage Dates

There is no wedding muhurat in October 2027. Chaturmas: weddings are traditionally paused until Dev Uthani Ekadashi.

November 2027 Marriage Dates

There are 3 Shubh Vivah Muhurat dates in November 2027.

November is where the winter wedding season begins, once Chaturmas is over. Evenings turn cool and pleasant, which makes it a lovely time for a marriage in winter with outdoor functions.

December 2027 Marriage Dates

There are 8 Shubh Vivah Muhurat dates in December 2027.

December is a winter wedding month with cold nights and, in north India, fog, so allow extra time for guest travel. The dates usually thin out by mid-December, when Kharmas begins.

Winter and Summer Wedding Muhurat 2027

Many families settle on the season before they settle on the date. The weather decides how comfortable the guests are, what everyone wears and even what kind of venue works, so here are the 2027 dates sorted by season.

Winter wedding dates 2027 (November to February)

There are 30 winter wedding muhurat dates in 2027.

• January: 18, 19, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 30, 31
• February: 2, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 21, 27, 28
• November: 23, 24, 25
• December: 1, 2, 4, 7, 9, 10, 12, 13

Winter is the favourite wedding season in most of north India. The days are pleasant, outdoor lawns and destination venues are comfortable, and heavy lehengas, velvet and sherwanis are easy to carry. The flip side is that these dates are the most in demand, so banquet halls, hotels and good pandits fill up early. In December and January, allow for fog on the roads and delayed trains if guests are travelling, and keep a few heaters or a covered area ready for the late-night pheras and the baraat.

Summer wedding dates 2027 (March to July)

There are 42 summer wedding muhurat dates in 2027.

• March: 1, 2, 10, 11, 12, 14
• April: 19, 20, 21, 23, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29
• May: 3, 8, 9, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 30, 31
• June: 1, 11, 12, 18, 19, 23, 24, 27, 28
• July: 9, 10, 11, 12, 13

Summer weddings need a little more planning around the heat, especially in May and June. Choose an evening or night muhurat where you can, book an air-conditioned banquet hall or a shaded lawn with coolers, and keep water, cold drinks and a rest area for the elders. Lighter fabrics for the lehenga and the family's outfits, and a mehndi artist who can finish before the heat peaks, make the day much easier. Hill stations and shaded heritage venues are a good fit for a summer destination wedding.

The July dates fall at the start of the monsoon, so it is hot and humid with a chance of rain. If you choose one of them, keep a covered or indoor backup for the baraat and the pheras.

Best Month for Wedding in 2027: Which Month Has the Most Weddings?

"Which is the best month?" has two honest answers, because the month with the most muhurat dates is not always the month most families pick.

The month with the most wedding dates

In 2027, May has the most Shubh Vivah Muhurat dates, 13 in all. These are the months with the most dates:

• May: 13 dates
• January: 10 dates
• February: 9 dates
• April: 9 dates
• June: 9 dates

More dates mean more choice, so a month like May makes it easier to find a day that suits both families, the venue and the pandit ji.

The most popular wedding season in India

Across the country, winter is the favourite wedding season. Trade bodies like CAIT usually describe November and December, once Dev Uthani Ekadashi ends Chaturmas, as the busiest stretch, and for 2025 it projected about 46 lakh weddings between 1 November and 14 December, a season of just 45 days. The reasons are simple: pleasant weather in most cities and a good number of auspicious dates. Summer is generally the less preferred season, and families choose it mostly when the muhurat, the venue or school holidays suit them better.

Source: CAIT (Confederation of All India Traders) research estimates. The season window differs a little each year, and 1 lakh is 100,000. Delhi alone was estimated at about 4.8 lakh weddings in the 2025 season. In its 2024 note, CAIT also pointed out that the season paused for about a month after mid-December and resumed from mid-January, which matches the Kharmas gap in the dates above.

These are national estimates, not a count for 2027. How crowded any month feels depends on that year's muhurat dates. In 2027, 30 dates fall in the winter months and 42 between March and July, so there is no shortage of dates outside the winter rush.

So which month should you pick?

• For the best weather: go for the winter dates in November, December, January or February, and book early.
• For the widest choice of dates: May 2027 gives you the most options.
• For easier venue booking and a better price: the months just before or after the peak, and weekday dates, are usually easier to book than the busiest weekends.

Whichever month you pick, shortlist two or three dates, and confirm the final one with your pandit ji.

Weekend Wedding Dates 2027 (Saturday & Sunday)

22 of the 2027 wedding dates fall on a weekend (10 on a Saturday and 12 on a Sunday), which makes it easier for guests to travel and attend. May has the most weekend dates, with 5.

To see only the weekend dates of one month, open the Wedding Dates Calculator. The Weekends only filter is already on, so just pick the month.

Planning Your Wedding Around These 2027 Dates

Once the family has picked a date from the list above, the real work begins. A few things get booked first and the rest follow, so here is the order most families find easiest, with the reasons behind it.

Book the banquet hall or hotel first

The venue decides everything else: the guest count, the budget and even the time of the pheras. Banquet halls, wedding lawns, farmhouses and hotels fill up fastest on the weekend dates and in the busiest months, so check availability for two or three of your shortlisted dates before you settle on one. Ask what is included (rooms for the family, decor, catering, parking, a power backup) and get the booking amount and cancellation terms in writing.

Thinking of a destination wedding?

A destination wedding, whether in a heritage hotel in Rajasthan, a resort in the hills or a beach in Goa, needs more lead time because your guests also have to plan travel and stay. Choose the place with the weather in mind: winter dates are pleasant in most of north India, while May and June can be very hot. Share the date early so relatives can book trains and flights, and plan the arrival, welcome lunch and return transport properly. Also check whether the venue allows an outside pandit, a havan and the traditional rituals.

Book your pandit ji early

On a popular muhurat date, good pandits get booked well in advance. Fix the pandit as soon as the date is final and ask three things: the exact timing of the pheras in your city, the list of puja samagri you need to arrange, and how long the rituals will take. The muhurat times can differ a little from city to city, so it helps to have one person your family trusts for this. If you would like to talk it through, you can consult Acharya Ram Hari Sharma about your date.

Bridal lehenga, chunni and the family's outfits

Start shopping for the bridal lehenga about three to four months ahead. Heavy work, custom colours and stitching take time, and you will want at least two fittings. Choose the lehenga and the chunni (dupatta) together, because the drape and the border change how the whole look sits. Then plan the groom's sherwani, and the outfits for the sangeet, mehndi and reception so the family looks good together in the photographs.

Gold jewellery and artificial jewellery to match

Gold is usually the biggest single purchase, so do not leave it for the last month. Buy in stages: the main set first, then the smaller pieces. Take your lehenga swatch or a photo with you to the jeweller. For the other functions, artificial and imitation jewellery in kundan, pearl or oxidised styles is a lighter and cheaper way to match each outfit, from the maang tikka and earrings to bangles and the haath phool. Buy it after the outfits are final, and carry the matching pieces to the fittings.

Band, baja, baraat and DJ

The baraat is the loudest part of the wedding, and the bands, dhol players, ghodi and DJ are also booked by date. Book them once the date is fixed, explain the route and the timing, and confirm the number of people in the band. Check the local rules on music and loudspeakers at night with your venue so nothing has to be stopped midway.

Sangeet and mehndi

For the sangeet, decide the song list early so the family dances can be rehearsed over a few weeks, and book the sound system, host or choreographer if you want one. For the mehndi, decide the design well before the function. Bridal mehndi in Arabic, Rajasthani or floral patterns takes several hours, and many brides like a small figure or the groom's name worked into the design. Book your mehndi artist for the day before the wedding, and keep a few extra artists for the guests.

A simple checklist: what to do and when

For a weekend date or a destination wedding, move each of these steps one or two months earlier. To see which of your dates are Saturdays or Sundays, use the weekend table above.

How these dates are chosen

A Shubh Vivah Muhurat is chosen from the Hindu Panchang by looking at the tithi (lunar day), nakshatra and other traditional factors. Weddings are avoided during Chaturmas and Kharmas. These dates are prepared under the guidance of Acharya Ram Hari Sharma; the exact ceremony time can differ slightly by city, so confirm it with your family pandit.
