The shubh vivah muhurat 2027 list for the spring season begins on Friday 15 January, after kharmas ends. There are 9 dates in January, 13 in February and 7 in March on the Drik Panchang calendar for New Delhi. Fix the date first, then plan the haldi and mehndi that come two or three days before it.
This guide is for brides and families planning a January, February or March 2027 wedding, and for anyone shopping for the functions around it. It gives the dates with their source and shows how the haldi, mehndi and sangeet usually fall around the wedding day. For matching each set to its outfit colour, read our guide on how to choose haldi jewellery.
The wedding dates in January, February and March 2027
The dates below are the Hindu marriage muhurats for 2027 published by Drik Panchang, computed for New Delhi, with the muhurat window for each day. Families searching for the shaadi muhurat in 2027 will find the same list under other names, such as vivah muhurat or shubh vivah dates. Other panchangs list a few different February days. Confirm the exact day and the lagna time with your family pandit before you book anything.
January 2027
The shaadi muhurat in January 2027 falls on nine days:
- Friday 15 January, 7:15 AM to 2:13 PM
- Monday 18 January, 9:05 PM to 9:12 PM
- Tuesday 19 January, 7:49 AM to 7:14 AM on the 20th
- Wednesday 20 January, 7:14 AM to 4:17 PM
- Sunday 24 January, 10:20 AM to 9:29 PM
- Tuesday 26 January, 8:18 PM to 7:12 AM on the 27th
- Wednesday 27 January, 7:12 AM to 11:56 PM
- Saturday 30 January, 3:55 AM to 7:10 AM on the 31st
- Sunday 31 January, 7:10 AM to 7:34 PM
The 18 January window is only seven minutes long, so ask your pandit before you build a wedding around it.
February 2027
February is the fullest month, with thirteen days:
- Tuesday 2 and Wednesday 3 February
- Tuesday 9, Wednesday 10 and Thursday 11 February
- Sunday 14 and Monday 15 February
- Sunday 21 and Monday 22 February
- Thursday 25, Friday 26, Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 February
Several of these run overnight into the next morning. For example, the 2 February muhurat runs from 5:47 PM to 7:08 AM on the 3rd. Some lists give only 2 February for the whole month, so February is where checking with your pandit matters most.
March 2027
The wedding dates in March 2027 come in two runs:
- Monday 1, Tuesday 2, Wednesday 3 and Thursday 4 March
- Tuesday 9, Wednesday 10 and Sunday 14 March
Why the first half of January has no wedding dates
The first fortnight of January 2027 has no shubh marriage date. It is kharmas, the solar month when the sun is in Dhanu, which the panchang marks as prohibited for weddings. It ends around Makar Sankranti in mid-January, and the muhurats resume on 15 January.
A family looking at a winter wedding is therefore choosing between the last dates of 2026 and the second half of January 2027. Our post on the shubh vivah muhurat dates for November and December lists the 2026 dates.
How the functions fall around the wedding date
Most families hold the haldi and the mehndi in the two or three days before the wedding. The sangeet comes the evening before, or on the same evening as the mehndi. A 15 January wedding, for example, usually means a mehndi on the 13th or 14th. The haldi is then on the morning of the 14th or the 15th. The reception follows the wedding on the same night or a day or two later.
That order matters for shopping. The haldi and mehndi sets are worn first, in daylight, with turmeric paste and wet henna around. The wedding and reception sets are worn in the evening, under lights, with the heaviest outfit of the week. Buy the daytime sets with comfort and colour in mind, and the evening sets with the outfit in mind.
A January haldi is often a cool morning, while a March haldi can be warm by noon. Plan the outfit and the jewellery for the weather of your own date.
What the bride wears at the haldi
The haldi is a daytime function in a yellow outfit, with turmeric paste applied to the bride's face, arms and feet. Haldi ceremony jewellery is therefore light and in a colour that stands apart from yellow. Artificial flowers, shell and pearl suit it because they do not wilt. Our guide to the flower haldi look for the bride goes piece by piece.
A yellow set can still work when a second colour breaks it up, as in the yellow haldi flower jewellery set with pearl beads. Read its product page for the pieces it includes before you order.
Wear the maang tikka and earrings after your hair is done, and keep the haathphool for the photographs rather than for the paste.
What the bride wears at the mehndi
Green is the mehndi colour, and the bride's hands are the centre of attention. The pieces that matter are the earrings, the necklace and anything that frames the henna without touching it while it dries.
The lime floral cowrie shell bridal set is a lime and shell set named for the mehendi. When the haldi and mehndi fall on the same day, a set in two colours, such as the pink and white floral haldi mehndi jewellery set, can serve both.
If you want a haathphool at the mehndi, put it on only after the henna has dried, or wear it at the sangeet instead.
Sangeet, wedding and reception: lighter or fuller
Sangeet jewellery for the bride has to stay on through an evening of dancing, so choose a light set that sits close. For the wedding, the heaviest outfit of the week needs a fuller set. Reception jewellery can be the same set or a lighter one.
Pick the wedding set before the haldi and mehndi sets, so the daytime looks sit beside it rather than compete with it. With February's weekend dates so close together, choose every set early and try each one on with its outfit at home.
What to check before you order
Do this on the product page, because it differs from set to set.
- The photographs. Look at every photo, because the pieces on the model show what the set contains.
- The title and description. Read the product details to see the material and which pieces the set includes.
- Your own outfit. Hold the product photos beside each function's outfit in daylight, because yellow, green and the wedding outfit each change how a colour reads.
- The pieces included. If you want a maang tikka, haathphool or kaliras, check that the description lists it.
Where to look in our collections
Shop the haldi itself from our haldi jewellery sets. The bride's own sets are in the haldi jewellery sets for the bride, and the mehndi sets are in the mehndi jewellery sets.
Final thoughts
The 2027 spring wedding season runs from 15 January to 14 March on the New Delhi panchang, with no dates in the first half of January. Fix the wedding date with your pandit and count back two or three days for the mehndi and haldi. Then shop in that order: the wedding set first, and the daytime sets in colours that stand apart from yellow and green.
Quick checklist
- Confirm the muhurat and lagna with your pandit.
- Count back two or three days for mehndi and haldi.
- Choose the wedding set first, then the daytime sets.
- Pick a colour that contrasts with the yellow haldi outfit.
- Keep hands free of pieces while the henna dries.
- Try every set on with its outfit at home.
