The 2027 muhurat calendar, the cheapest months and when the season starts.
October to February: cool, clear light and the best heritage backdrops in Jaipur, Udaipur, Delhi and Goa, but it is peak wedding season, so book two to three months ahead. March to May works for early-morning shoots; June to September gives monsoon greens at 10–15% lower rates with an indoor backup. Shoot at 6–9 am or 4–6 pm.

2027 has 96 shubh vivah muhurat dates, with the most in May (18), then June (16). The popular winter dates are 10, 11, 15, 16, 20, 21, 23, 24, 25, 26, 29 November and 2, 7, 8, 9, 12, 13, 14 December. August, September, October have none. The best date for your family is one the pandit confirms against both horoscopes and the venue has free, so fix date and venue together.
Any month with muhurat dates; in 2027 the busiest are May (18) and June (16). November to February is the most popular season across North India, so venues and planners cost the most and book 12 to 16 months out. Months with dates but less demand, such as late spring, give the same venues at lower prices. August, September, October have no dates.
The main season opens after Devuthani Ekadashi, 10 November 2027 in 2027, when weddings resume after Chaturmas, and runs to mid-December before Kharmas. A second season runs from mid-January to June. The first muhurat of 2027 is 15 January 2027.
2027 में नई दिल्ली के पंचांग के अनुसार 96 शुभ विवाह मुहूर्त हैं, सबसे अधिक मई (18) और जून (16) में; अगस्त, सितंबर और अक्टूबर में कोई मुहूर्त नहीं है। पहला मुहूर्त 15 जनवरी 2027 को है। अंतिम तारीख अपने पंडित जी से दोनों कुंडलियों के अनुसार तय करें।
The months with no muhurats and no demand: in 2027 that is August, September and October, when the Shukra and Guru combust periods and Chaturmas keep Hindu weddings off the calendar, plus the monsoon generally. Venues and vendors negotiate 10–20 percent off in these months and on weekdays all year; December and November are the dearest.
December, then November: an industry survey of recent Indian weddings put 26 percent in December and 23 percent in November, nearly half of all weddings in those two months, and trade bodies counted about 46 lakh weddings between 1 November and 14 December 2025. February and the April–June muhurat run are the next peaks, so the best venues book 12–16 months out.
Ninety-six, by the panchang we use: 9 in January, 13 in February, 7 in March, 9 in April, 18 in May, 16 in June, 6 in July, none in August, September or October, 11 in November and 7 in December. Other calculators count 57 to 119, but all agree the autumn is empty. Our 2027 dates page lists each with its window and nakshatra.
Yes, and a full one. 2027 has no Adhik Maas, both the Shukra combust period (21 July to 9 September) and the Guru combust period (17 August to 13 September) fall inside Chaturmas, so no extra months are lost, and the May–June run carries 34 muhurats. Hotels report 2027 bookings up 15–25 percent, so lock peak dates early.
No, winter is the dearest season in India. November to February carries the most muhurats and the highest demand, so venues hold peak rates and the best vendors sell out 12–16 months ahead. The savings sit in the gaps: October has no muhurats in 2026, the monsoon months discount 10–15 percent on photography alone, and weekdays beat Saturdays all year.
