Hindu Wedding Dates November 2026 to July 2027: Complete Shubh Vivah Muhurat List

Home

If you’re planning a wedding anywhere between November 2026 and July 2027, you’ve landed at the right calendar. Wedding season in India traditionally reopens with Dev Uthani Ekadashi in November — the day Lord Vishnu wakes from his four-month Chaturmas sleep — and runs, with a few pauses, all the way to mid-July 2027, when the next Chaturmas begins. In between lie roughly 60+ Shubh Vivah Muhurat dates spread across nine months, and this guide lists every one of them, month by month, along with the Nakshatra and general timing for each.

One thing most muhurat calendars won’t tell you: choosing the date is only step one. Whichever city you marry in — Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Jaipur, or a small town nobody outside your family has heard of — you can still open your wedding with a genuine Ganga Aarti ceremony performed by priests from Varanasi’s Dashashwamedh and Assi Ghats, brought to your venue for the day. We’ll come back to that toward the end. First, the dates.

A quick honesty note before you start booking venues: Vivah Muhurat timings shift slightly depending on your city’s sunrise/sunset and can vary a little between different Panchang traditions. The dates below reflect the broad consensus across Hindu Panchang sources for North India. Always confirm the exact date and time with your family priest or a Panchang for your specific city before printing wedding cards.

Why November 2026 Onward Matters So Much This Year

2026 has had an Adhik Maas (leap lunar month) that swallowed up most of May and June, leaving very few marriage dates for almost the entire summer. That’s exactly why the window opening in November 2026 is so eagerly awaited — and why 2027, which has no Adhik Maas, is shaping up to be one of the most generous wedding years in recent memory, with nearly double the muhurat count of 2026. If your family has been waiting for “the right date,” this is the stretch to book early, because everyone else is thinking the same thing.

November 2026 Wedding Dates

Only 4 Shubh days this month, but they’re powerful ones — this is the Kartik month restart after Chaturmas, and demand is always heaviest right here.

Only four dates for the entire month means these will book out fast — venues in Delhi NCR, Jaipur, and Varanasi itself are typically gone a year in advance for 21 November.

December 2026 Wedding Dates

December opens strong with 7 Shubh days, all clustered in the first two weeks before Dhanu Kharmaas begins around 16 December (which blocks all marriages until mid-January 2027).

After 13 December, there are no more marriage dates until Makar Sankranti passes in mid-January — so this is the last call for a winter 2026 wedding.

January 2027 Wedding Dates

Marriages resume after Makar Sankranti, and January 2027 delivers a healthy 10 Shubh days.

18 January is widely rated the strongest single date of the month — it falls on Ekadashi Tithi with two favourable Nakshatras rising together, a combination astrologers consider especially auspicious for marriage.

February 2027 Wedding Dates

Magha Maas makes February one of the most popular wedding months every year — pleasant weather, Valentine’s week, and 9 Shubh days.

14–15 February carries the Rohini Nakshatra with Navami Tithi, a pairing that consistently ranks among the strongest marriage combinations in the whole year — worth checking with your priest even if it isn’t on every published list, since Nakshatra timing shifts slightly by city.

March 2027 Wedding Dates

March is naturally a short month for weddings because of Holashtak (the eight inauspicious days before Holi). Only the early part of the month is open.

If your families are set on a March wedding, book the venue the moment you read this — six dates for the whole month means near-zero flexibility once Holi week arrives.

April 2027 Wedding Dates

Chaitra Maas — the month of new beginnings — brings pleasant pre-summer weather and a solid spread of dates, popular for destination weddings in Rajasthan.

23–26 April gives you four consecutive auspicious dates — genuinely rare, and ideal for families who want mehendi, haldi, sangeet, and pheras each falling on its own Shubh day instead of squeezing everything into one.

May 2027 Wedding Dates — The Busiest Month of the Year

May 2027 is expected to carry the highest number of Shubh Vivah Muhurats of any single month in the entire 2026–2027 cycle. Summer holidays make travel easy for guests, and the sheer number of dates gives families more breathing room than they’ve had in years.

7 May carries Rohini Nakshatra with Dwitiya Tithi — a combination astrologers rate as one of the standout dates of the entire year, alongside 21 November 2026 and 13 December 2026.

June 2027 Wedding Dates — Last Call Before Chaturmas

June is the final full month of the wedding season. Families who couldn’t get a May date rush here, so book early even though the list looks generous.

20 June is worth flagging specially — it carries both Uttara Ashadha and Uttara Phalguni Nakshatras, and the muhurat window extends into the following morning, giving families a longer ceremony window than most dates offer.

July 2027 Wedding Dates — A Very Short Window

Here’s something most calendars gloss over: Chaturmas begins on Devshayani Ekadashi, expected around 14 July 2027, when Lord Vishnu goes into Yog Nidra and all marriages pause for four months. That leaves only the first two weeks of July genuinely open, and in most Panchang traditions this early-July stretch carries very few (sometimes zero) usable muhurats, similar to the pattern seen in July 2026, which had just two Shubh days. If you’re set on a July 2027 date, this is one month where you should get a personalised Panchang check from your family priest before booking anything — don’t rely on a generic list here.

After 14 July 2027, no new marriage dates will open until Dev Uthani Ekadashi in November 2027, roughly four months later.

Quick-Reference: Shubh Days Per Month (Nov 2026 – Jul 2027)

How to Actually Pick Your Date (Not Just Read the List)

• Match it to your Kundali first. A generic Panchang list tells you what’s auspicious for most people — Tarabala and Chandrabala checks against both partners’ Janma Nakshatra can rule a “good” date out for your specific chart.
• Book venues the moment you shortlist 2–3 dates. Months with fewer than 10 Shubh days (November, December, March) get booked out for popular venues almost a year ahead.
• Check your city’s exact muhurat window. Timings shift with sunrise — a date that’s auspicious from 6 AM to noon in Delhi may open an hour earlier or later in Varanasi, Patna, or Hyderabad.
• Have a backup date. Weather, guest availability, and last-minute venue issues are real. Keep a second Shubh date in the same month as insurance.

Give Your Wedding Date a Kashi Blessing — Wherever You’re Getting Married

Once you’ve locked in your Shubh Vivah Muhurat, there’s one more thing worth thinking about: how you open the ceremony. Families across India — and NRI couples abroad — increasingly choose to begin their wedding festivities with a live Ganga Aarti ceremony, the same seven-step Vedic ritual performed every evening on the banks of the Ganga at Dashashwamedh and Assi Ghat in Varanasi, brought directly to their venue.

It works for any of the dates listed above, in any city:

• Pre-wedding blessing: a 30–40 minute Ganga Aarti performed by our ghat priests on your mehendi or haldi evening, invoking Ma Ganga’s blessings before the main ceremony.
• Reception opener: many couples now open their reception with the Aarti as a striking, deeply spiritual entry point before the entertainment begins.
• Engagement or Namkaran-style additions: if your Shubh Muhurat also lines up with an engagement or a related samskara, the same priests and rituals travel with you.

Because the priests, mantras, and diyas are the same ones used at the actual ghats, the ceremony carries genuine spiritual weight — not a staged imitation. We’ve performed this for weddings across all 28 states and for NRI families flying priests and ritual materials in for their overseas ceremonies.

If your Shubh Muhurat falls in November or December 2026, or anywhere in the January–June 2027 window above, book both your date and your Aarti ceremony together — the same demand crunch that hits venues hits priest availability on the most popular dates (21 November, 7 May, 20 June, and similar high-Nakshatra dates fill up fastest).

Frequently Asked Questions

Which month has the most wedding dates between November 2026 and July 2027?

May 2027, with an estimated 18–19 Shubh Vivah Muhurat dates — the highest of any single month in this entire window.

Why are there so few dates in November 2026?

November is when the wedding season reopens after four months of Chaturmas, so only a handful of days pass the full Panchang Shuddhi (Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga, Karana, and Vara) checks. Demand is unusually high for these four dates as a result.

When does the wedding season end in 2027?

Chaturmas is expected to begin around 14 July 2027 with Devshayani Ekadashi, after which no new marriage muhurats open until Dev Uthani Ekadashi in November 2027.

Can I book a Ganga Aarti ceremony for a wedding outside Varanasi?

Yes. We arrange the full ceremony — priests, Vedic mantras, diyas, and ritual materials — at your venue anywhere in India, and for NRI clients internationally, on any date you choose from this calendar.

Do these dates apply to every Indian city equally?

The dates themselves are broadly consistent across North India, but exact muhurat start and end times shift by a few minutes to a couple of hours depending on your city’s sunrise. Always confirm the precise timing with a local Panchang or your family priest before finalising invitations.
