Vivah Muhurat March 2027: Dates Before Holashtak & Meena Malmas

March 2027 is a two-week month. Everything in the vivah muhurat march 2027 calendar happens between the 1st and the 14th, and then two separate blocks close the door at once — Holashtak before Holi, and Meena Sankranti taking the Sun into Pisces on 15 March. After that there is nothing until the middle of April. The four panchangs we checked also disagree more here than in any other month of the season: one lists seven dates, one six, one three, and only a single date appears in all of them.

Two blocks land in the same fortnight

Most months have at most one prohibition to work around. March 2027 has two, and they overlap, which is why the usable half of the month is so short.

The first is Holashtak — the eight days that end with Holika Dahan. DrikPanchang places Holika Dahan and Chhoti Holi on Sunday 21 March 2027, with Rangwali Holi on Monday 22 March. Count eight days back from Holika Dahan and Holashtak begins on 14 March.

The second is Meena Malmas, sometimes called the spring Kharmas. The Sun enters sidereal Meena at the Meena Sankranti moment, which DrikPanchang puts at 07:04 AM IST on Monday 15 March 2027 for New Delhi. Auspicious beginnings stop there and do not resume until Mesha Sankranti on 14 April 2027.

So the two blocks meet on roughly the same day, one after the other, and the month effectively ends on the 14th. Our auspicious wedding dates 2027 page shows how this fortnight fits into the year as a whole.

Vivah muhurat march 2027: the consensus table

All timings are IST for Delhi, taken from DrikPanchang’s Vivah Muhurat page with the location set to New Delhi, and cross-checked against VedicMatch, VedicFeed and the classical-rule list published by Dr R.P. Sharma. Where a window runs past midnight, the closing date is given in brackets.

Nothing appears from 5 to 8 March, because no marriage nakshatra is available on those days. Nothing appears from 15 March onwards, because the solar month is prohibited. That is the whole picture for the month.

10 March: the one date every source backs

If you want a March 2027 date that no pandit will argue with, take Wednesday 10 March. It is the single entry that appears on DrikPanchang, VedicFeed, VedicMatch and the classical-rule list alike.

The window is also the most generous of the month: 06:37 AM on the 10th through to 05:13 AM on the 11th, close to twenty-three hours. Uttara Bhadrapada gives way to Revati during the day and both are classical marriage nakshatras, so the lagna can be placed almost anywhere your venue allows.

Wednesday is Budh’s day, favoured for agreements and clear speech, and the tithi moves from Dwitiya to Tritiya — both on every shubh-tithi list. Expect halls and pandits in the metros to go first on this date. Settle your match before you approach anyone: the 36 Guna score takes under a minute on Sahita on Google Play.

The 3 and 4 March puzzle, and the Maha Shivratri mix-up

Look at the table again. DrikPanchang’s 3 March window runs 01:06 AM to 06:44 AM — and both of those clock times fall on 4 March. That is not a typo. In panchang reckoning a day runs from sunrise to sunrise, so the small hours of the 4th still belong to the 3rd.

Read the two rows together and they form one continuous stretch: 01:06 AM on 4 March through to 01:35 AM on 5 March, about twenty-four and a half hours under Uttara Ashadha. DrikPanchang and VedicFeed print it as two rows. VedicMatch prints only the first half and marks 4 March as unavailable, because at sunrise on the 4th the tithi is Dwadashi, which is not on its list of seven shubh tithis.

The classical list does the opposite: it carries 4 March and not 3 March, but labels the tithi Krishna Ekadashi where DrikPanchang labels it Dwadashi. The most likely reading is that both are describing the same block of hours with a one-day labelling offset.

One more correction worth making, because it is on page one of Google. At least one panchang site states that Maha Shivratri falls on 4 March 2027. It does not. DrikPanchang places Maha Shivratri on Saturday 6 March 2027, on Phalguna Krishna Chaturdashi; 4 March is Vijaya Ekadashi, and 8 March is Somavati Amavasya. Nothing about Shivratri touches the 4 March muhurat.

11 March: the date only one list carries

The classical-rule list gives three March dates — 4, 10 and 11 March — and the third of those is not supported anywhere else. This is the one place in the month where we will not simply report both sides.

The list describes 11 March as Revati on Shukla Tritiya. But DrikPanchang’s own timings show Revati ending at 05:13 AM on 11 March, roughly eighty minutes before Delhi sunrise. By sunrise the nakshatra is Ashwini, which is not one of the eleven marriage nakshatras, and DrikPanchang marks the day plainly: auspicious nakshatra not available.

VedicMatch and VedicFeed also exclude 11 March. With the tiebreaker and two independent engines against it, we would not book 11 March 2027 without asking your family pandit to show his own working for that day. If Revati is what you want, 10 March gives you Revati inside a twenty-three-hour window.

Holashtak 2027 and the contested 14 March

Holashtak is the eight-day stretch before Holi when north Indian families suspend weddings and other mangalik work. Everyone agrees it ends at Holika Dahan, which DrikPanchang fixes on Sunday 21 March 2027. Where sources differ is the start.

Counting eight days inclusive from Holika Dahan gives 14 to 21 March. Dr R.P. Sharma’s list prints 14 to 22 March. VedicMatch prints 16 to 22 March. That two-day spread is exactly why 14 March is the contested date of the month.

DrikPanchang, VedicFeed and VedicMatch all publish a full muhurat on Sunday 14 March: 05:10 PM to 06:31 AM the next morning, under Rohini on Saptami. The classical list omits it, and its own Holashtak start of 14 March is the reason. Both positions are internally consistent.

Practical advice: ask your family which Holashtak start they observe before you shortlist 14 March, not after. If Holashtak begins on the 16th in your tradition, 14 March is a clean evening date. If it begins on the 14th, it is out and 10 March becomes your last option. Either way the guna milan should already be done — Sahita’s free kundali matching app computes the full Ashta Koota without a network connection.

Meena Sankranti, 15 March, 07:04 AM

This is the hard boundary, and it is worth knowing to the minute. The Sun crosses into sidereal Meena at 07:04 AM IST on Monday 15 March 2027 by DrikPanchang’s New Delhi reckoning. Its punya kala runs 07:04 AM to 01:27 PM that day.

Note how neatly the last muhurat fits. The 14 March window closes at 06:31 AM on 15 March — thirty-three minutes before the Sankranti moment. DrikPanchang marks 15 March as partially overlapping the prohibited solar month and every day from 16 to 31 March as fully prohibited.

Sources round this differently. VedicMatch says Kharmas runs 15 March to 13 April; the classical list says Meena Malmas is 14 March to 13 April. Since Mesha Sankranti itself falls on 14 April 2027, the safe reading is that nothing between 15 March and 14 April is usable, and the first practical dates are later still.

Chaitra Navratri also sits inside that gap, running 7 to 16 April 2027 and closing on Ram Navami. Families planning around the southern new year will find our Karnataka Ugadi wedding muhurta guide useful, and the Tamil Chithirai wedding muhurat guide covers the month that opens at Mesha Sankranti.

Where the clocks disagree, and where they never do

Compare 2 March across the sources and you get 06:46 AM on DrikPanchang and VedicMatch, and 07:06 AM on VedicFeed. All three close at 03:24 PM. The same twenty-minute gap shows up at every window start that coincides with sunrise, and never at a window close.

That is the general rule for reading any muhurat table. Closing moments are astronomical events — a nakshatra ending, a yoga breaking — and they occur at the same instant regardless of where you stand. Opening moments are often just local sunrise, and sunrise moves with longitude and latitude.

VedicFeed’s sunrise figures for March 2027 run about twenty minutes later than the New Delhi values DrikPanchang uses, even though its page names New Delhi. So take the closing time as fact, treat a dawn start as approximate, and get your own city’s sunrise before printing cards. Kannada and Gujarati readers can cross-check the same dates in our Kannada vivaha muhurta 2027 guide and the Gujarati lagna muhurat 2027 list.

Finish guna milan before the pandit fixes the lagna

Every date above is a panchang-level clearance. It says the day is fit for weddings in general. It says nothing about your particular pair, and it does not give you an hour.

The lagna — the sign rising at the moment of the pheras — is chosen afterwards, for your venue’s coordinates, against both charts, with Tarabala and Chandrabala weighed for the two families. No pandit begins that work until the match itself is settled. With so few vivah muhurat march 2027 dates on the board, the matching cannot be the thing that delays you.

Run the free kundali matching tool for the 36 Guna Ashta Koota score and the Manglik check on both charts, then take the koota-by-koota breakdown into the meeting. Hindi-speaking families can read the same year’s dates in our vivah muhurat 2027 guide in Hindi, and Telugu families in the Telugu vivaha muhurtalu 2027 list.

Three things usually decide the conversation: the total out of 36, which kootas scored zero, and whether a dosha has a documented cancellation that applies. All three sit on one result screen in the free Sahita app, in eleven Indian languages, with no login and no upload.

Your vivah muhurat march 2027 checklist

Six or seven dates, all in a fortnight, and only one of them undisputed. Work through this in order.

  1. Settle the 36 Guna score and Manglik status for both charts first — the free Sahita kundali matching app does it offline in under a minute.
  2. Treat 10 March as your primary. It is the only date all four sources carry and it has the longest window.
  3. Ask your family when Holashtak starts before you consider 14 March.
  4. If you like the 3 or 4 March block, read the two rows as one continuous window and pick the hour inside it.
  5. Do not commit to 11 March without your pandit’s own working, since the tiebreaker panchang does not list it.
  6. Get your own city’s sunrise, ask for the lagna window rather than just the date, and hold the venue before printing cards.

If nothing here works, the next window is 17 and 18 April 2027. The classical list carries both; DrikPanchang’s first available April date is Sunday 18 April, running 06:05 AM to 09:58 PM under Uttara Phalguni. April then opens up properly, and May 2027 is the largest month of the year.

Frequently asked questions

How many marriage dates are there in March 2027?

Seven on DrikPanchang and VedicFeed — 1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 10 and 14 March. VedicMatch gives six, dropping 4 March. The classical-rule list gives three: 4, 10 and 11 March. Only 10 March appears in all four, and 11 March appears in one. Everything falls in the first fortnight.

Why are there no wedding dates after 14 March 2027?

Two reasons overlap. Meena Sankranti takes the Sun into Pisces at 07:04 AM IST on 15 March 2027, beginning a prohibited solar month that runs to Mesha Sankranti on 14 April. Holashtak, the eight days before Holika Dahan on 21 March, covers much of the same stretch. Dates resume in the second half of April.

When is Holashtak 2027 and when is Holi?

Holika Dahan and Chhoti Holi fall on Sunday 21 March 2027, with Rangwali Holi on Monday 22 March. Holashtak is the eight days ending at Holika Dahan, which by a straight count is 14 to 21 March. Sources print it as 14 to 22 March and as 16 to 22 March, so confirm which start your family observes.

Is 4 March 2027 Maha Shivratri, and can we marry that day?

No, that is a common error. DrikPanchang places Maha Shivratri on Saturday 6 March 2027; 4 March is Vijaya Ekadashi. As a wedding date, 4 March is carried by DrikPanchang, VedicFeed and the classical list with a long window from 06:44 AM to 01:35 AM the next morning under Uttara Ashadha. VedicMatch omits it on a tithi rule.

Are these vivah muhurat march 2027 timings valid for my city?

The dates are, and so are the closing times, because those are astronomical moments. Opening times are frequently local sunrise, which moves with longitude — VedicFeed’s starts sit about twenty minutes later than DrikPanchang’s New Delhi figures. Get your own city’s panchang for the start, and have the pandit fix the lagna for your venue’s coordinates.

When is the next wedding date after March 2027?

17 or 18 April 2027, depending on which list you follow. The classical-rule list carries both; DrikPanchang’s first available April date is Sunday 18 April, 06:05 AM to 09:58 PM under Uttara Phalguni, and VedicMatch also names 18 April. April has nine dates from that point, and May 2027 is the busiest month of the year.
