The wedding day itself: the nakshatra, the tithi and the hours the pandit will ask for.
There are 8 shubh days for a wedding in January 2027: 15, 19, 20, 24, 26, 27, 30 and 31 January. The strongest is Wednesday, 20 January 2027, at 94%. 1 more day has a muhurat that lasts under half an hour, and is not counted.
Every day listed already meets the rules below. The % only ranks them against each other: it weighs the day’s tithi, nakshatra, weekday, yoga and karana for this work, and 80% and up is the strongest.
8 shubh days for a wedding in January 2027; below, every day of the month, shubh or not, and why.
The wedding muhurat is the time of the phere: the kanyadaan, the father giving the bride’s hand, and the saptapadi, the seven steps round the sacred fire, are held inside it, while the baraat (the groom’s procession), the jaimala (the exchange of garlands) and the reception can run either side. The family pandit usually fixes the exact lagna for the phere within the day’s window.
Seasons this month:
The festival days, for this work:
| Check | This day | The rule |
|---|---|---|
| Weekday | Wednesday | any weekday |
| Nakshatra | Mrigashira | one of the 11 nakshatras this is done in |
| Tithi | Shukla Trayodashi | an allowed tithi |
| Yoga | Indra | not one of the 9 yogas it avoids |
| Karana | Kaulava | not one of the 5 karanas it avoids |
| Best time | 1:51 PM – 4:17 PM | clear of Rahu Kaal (the eighth of the daylight that belongs to Rahu), 12:32 PM – 1:51 PM |
Clock times are for New Delhi; they move with sunrise, by up to about an hour across India. The tithi and the nakshatra are the same everywhere. For your own city, use the vivah muhurat finder.
These are the rules the standard panchangs apply for this work; they go back to the classical muhurat texts, Muhurta Chintamani above all.
Muhurta Chintamani sorts the 27 nakshatras by nature: fixed (dhruva), for what is meant to last; swift (kshipra), for trade, learning and quick starts; soft (mridu), for gentle things such as friendship and music; movable (chara), for what moves, such as travel; sharp (tikshna), for cutting and severing work; fierce (ugra), for harsh, forceful work. This work takes the fixed ones (Rohini, Uttara Phalguni, Uttara Ashadha, Uttara Bhadrapada), the swift ones (Hasta), the soft ones (Mrigashira, Anuradha, Revati), the movable ones (Swati), the sharp ones (Mula) and the fierce ones (Magha). It avoids the yogas Vishkambha, Atiganda, Shula, Ganda, Vyaghata, Vajra, Vyatipata, Parigha and Vaidhriti and the karanas Chatushpada, Kimstughna, Naga, Shakuni and Vishti.

A muhurat read off the panchang is the same for everybody in New Delhi. Read against your own kundli it can move, and for a wedding that is usually worth the ten minutes.
