Our families want the wedding between January and March 2027 in Delhi. The pandit gave one date and an app shows many others. How do we choose?

Let us first see which days pass the marriage rules in that window, then which hour suits you both. Please send both dates, times and places of birth. I will check the star, tithi, weekday and Jupiter and Venus, then the rising sign and each of your Moon signs.

Example of a consultation about wedding muhurat on Kismo

Short answer

A wedding muhurat, or vivah muhurat, is a date and hour chosen by the marriage rules of Muhurta Chintamani: one of 11 stars, a benefic weekday, no rikta tithi, six allowed Sun signs, and Jupiter and Venus visible. From 4 November 2026 to 31 December 2027, 28 days pass at Delhi sunrise. The hour and the couple's charts come next. On Kismo, verified astrologers check a wedding date online from anywhere.

What gets checked

What does an astrologer check to fix a wedding muhurat?

An astrologer checks a wedding muhurat against the marriage chapter of Muhurta Chintamani, then against both partners' charts. Kismo is an app where you talk to verified Vedic astrologers by chat or call, in 16 languages.

The Sun's sign. Muhurta Chintamani (6.13) allows a wedding with the Sun in Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Scorpio, Capricorn or Aquarius, and in Ashadha only up to the 10th of the bright half ¹.
The star, weekday and tithi. Verse 6.55 names 11 stars, a benefic weekday and no rikta tithi (4th, 9th, 14th) or new moon ¹.
Jupiter and Venus. Verse 1.47 bars a wedding while either is combust, close to the Sun ¹.
Jupiter in Leo. Verses 1.48-51 bar weddings with Jupiter in Leo, with relaxations by region and degree ¹.
The hour. B. V. Raman wants the 7th house empty, Mars out of the 8th, Venus out of the 6th and the Moon alone ².
The couple. Verse 6.12 asks for Jupiter's strength for the bride, the Sun's for the groom and the Moon's for both ¹.

By the numbers

Which dates from November 2026 to December 2027 pass the wedding muhurat rules?

Twenty-eight days pass every rule we checked, read at sunrise in New Delhi. Ten of them fall while Jupiter is in Leo, marked below; a strict reading of verse 1.50 drops the eight in early Leo ¹.

Calculated from public astronomical data with the open-source astronomia library ³, Lahiri ayanamsa, at Delhi sunrise. Checked: Sun sign (6.13), star, weekday, rikta tithi and new moon (6.55), vyatipata, vaidhriti and bhadra (1.34), Jupiter and Venus combustion and adhik masa (1.47) ¹. Not checked: the rising sign, vedha, the other doshas of the chapter, and the couple's charts.

Where the rules come from

Which classical text gives the rules for a wedding muhurat?

Muhurta Chintamani, written by Rama Daivajna, gives the wedding rules in its sixth chapter, the Vivaha Prakarana ¹. Its first chapter adds bars that apply to every good act, such as combust Jupiter and Venus ¹.

Rule	Where it is	What it says
Sun's sign	Muhurta Chintamani 6.13 ¹	Six signs allowed; Ashadha only to the 10th of the bright half
Stars, weekday, tithi	Muhurta Chintamani 6.55 ¹	11 stars, benefic weekday, no rikta tithi or new moon
Combust Jupiter or Venus	Muhurta Chintamani 1.47 ¹	No wedding while either is close to the Sun, or in an adhik month
Jupiter in Leo	Muhurta Chintamani 1.49-51 ¹	First 16°40' of Leo barred everywhere; the rest only between the Ganga and Godavari
Months and chart	B. V. Raman, Muhurtha, pp. 100-103 ²	Magha, Phalguna, Vaishakha, Jyeshtha best; 7th house empty

Raman, writing in 1948, warns that most panchang wedding dates carry flaws and follow local usage ². He notes that Tamil families accept Ashadha before the Sun enters Cancer, while Andhra and Karnataka families object ².

How often

How many days a year are good for a wedding?

Only about 1 day in 15 passes the full set of panchang rules we checked: 28 of 423 days. The Sun-sign rule alone keeps 214 days, and the star rule 170 (calculated) ³.

Published lists are longer because they count any day with a usable window. Drik Panchang lists 96 vivah days in 2027 for New Delhi ⁴. Of our 23 days in 2027, 19 appear on its list; of our five in 2026, four appear on its 2026 list ⁴⁵.

Drik's lists keep weddings while Jupiter is in early Leo, such as 18 to 24 January 2027 ⁴. They also list 10 to 16 November 2027, when the Sun is still in Libra, a sign verse 6.13 leaves out ¹⁴.

Those few days carry a large share of India's weddings. The traders' body CAIT estimated about 46 lakh weddings in the 45 days from 1 November to 14 December 2025 ⁶.

Closed periods

When are weddings not done in 2026 and 2027?

Until 20 Nov 2026
Chaturmas ends with Prabodhini Ekadashi; Drik Panchang marks 1 to 19 November 2026 as chaturmas ⁵.
17 Dec 2026 to 14 Jan 2027
Kharmas: the Sun in sidereal Sagittarius (calculated) ³.
Until 24 Jan 2027
Jupiter in the first degrees of Leo, the stretch verse 1.50 bars everywhere ¹³.
16 Mar to 14 Apr 2027
Kharmas: the Sun in sidereal Pisces (calculated) ³.
26 Jun to 15 Sep 2027
Jupiter back in Leo, below 16°40' (calculated) ³.
7 Jul to 17 Sep 2027
Venus combust; Jupiter combust from 17 Aug to 14 Sep (calculated) ³.
14 Jul to 10 Nov 2027
Chaturmas, from Devshayani to Prabodhini Ekadashi (calculated) ³.
From 17 Dec 2027
Kharmas again, the Sun in sidereal Sagittarius until mid-January 2028 (calculated) ³.

Before you book

What should we have ready before asking an astrologer for a wedding date?

Both partners' dates, exact times and places of birth, for the Moon signs and the rising sign.
The city of the wedding, because sunrise and the rising sign change with place.
The months the families can manage, and any dates the venue already offers.
Your family's custom on Ashadha, Jupiter in Leo and kharmas, since regions differ.
Whether the kundli matching is done; a muhurat does not replace it.

Myths and facts

What do people get wrong about this?

Belief: If a date is on the panchang's wedding list, it suits every couple.

A panchang list checks the day for everyone in one city. B. V. Raman warns that most such dates carry flaws, and the hour and both partners' charts still have to be read ².

Belief: No wedding can take place anywhere while Jupiter is in Leo.

Muhurta Chintamani bars only the first 16°40' of Leo everywhere. The rest is barred between the Ganga and Godavari, and the bar lapses with the Sun in Aries ¹.

Belief: A strong muhurat can make up for a weak match.

B. V. Raman writes that no muhurat can ensure success where the birth chart is badly afflicted; it can only lower the chance of failure ⁷.

Before you pay anyone

How do you know an astrologer is genuine?

Every Kismo astrologer passes four steps: qualification review, panel interview, live audits of real sessions, 30-day probation.
Nobody can guarantee an outcome. Treat any promise of a fixed result as a red flag.
Never pay for an expensive puja or ritual under pressure. Get a second opinion first.
On Kismo you only pay for the minutes you use; misconduct, pressure or a request for money outside the app is handled by a person.

FAQ

Questions people ask

Which months are best for a wedding muhurat in 2027?

February, March, April and May 2027 hold most of the good days we calculated: 13 of the 23 in 2027 ³. Muhurta Chintamani allows the Sun in Capricorn, Aquarius, Aries and Taurus in that stretch ¹. Mid-March to mid-April is kharmas, and July to early November is chaturmas, so those months have none.

Why are there so few wedding dates in late 2026?

Late 2026 has few dates because chaturmas runs until 20 November and kharmas starts on 17 December ³⁵. Jupiter is also in early Leo, which a strict reading of Muhurta Chintamani 1.50 bars ¹. Only five days pass the other rules, and all five fall in that Jupiter stretch.

Can marriage be done in chaturmas or Ashadha month?

Marriage in chaturmas is avoided in most North Indian practice, and Muhurta Chintamani 6.13 allows Ashadha only up to the 10th of the bright half ¹. B. V. Raman records that Tamil families accept Ashadha before the Sun enters Cancer, while Andhra and Karnataka families object ². Your family's custom decides.

Can an astrologer give a wedding muhurat as per our kundli?

Yes, an astrologer gives a personal wedding muhurat by checking each partner's Moon sign and birth star against the shortlisted days. Muhurta Chintamani 6.12 asks for Jupiter's strength for the bride, the Sun's for the groom and the Moon's for both ¹. Timing of when you will marry is a separate question.

Is Tuesday or Saturday okay for a wedding?

Tuesday is rejected and Saturday is only middling for a wedding. Muhurta Chintamani 6.55 asks for a benefic weekday, and B. V. Raman lists Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday as best, Sunday and Saturday as middling, and Tuesday as always rejected ¹². Our list uses only the four best weekdays.

What will a wedding muhurat consultation cost me on Kismo?

A wedding muhurat consultation on Kismo costs the astrologer's rate, from ₹15 a minute, the same for chat or call. You top up a wallet with at least ₹100, and you are billed per started minute. The first session includes 5 free minutes without a card, and what you do not use stays in the wallet.

Our pandit says the date is bad and we must pay for a big shanti puja first. Should we?

No, ask which rule the date fails before paying for anything. The rules are published: you can check the star, tithi, weekday and Jupiter against Muhurta Chintamani yourself ¹. Get a second opinion before paying for any ritual. On Kismo, asking for money outside the app is misconduct that a person handles.

Where can I get our wedding date checked by an astrologer online?

You can get a wedding date checked on Kismo, where verified Vedic astrologers read the panchang and both charts by chat or call. Every astrologer passes a qualification review, a panel interview, live audits and a 30-day probation. It works from anywhere, so families abroad can fix an Indian date.
