The wedding season resumes once Dhanurmas ends. By Drik Panchang's calculation for Pune, there are 22 lagna muhurat dates in January and February 2027: 15, 18, 19, 20, 24, 26, 27, 30 and 31 January, and 2, 3, 9, 10, 11, 14, 15, 21, 22, 25, 26, 27 and 28 February. The Sun is in Dhanu (Sagittarius) from 1 to 14 January, so there is nothing in those two weeks, and the first date falls on Makar Sankranti itself, 15 January. A list published by a Marathi newspaper differs: its regular January dates start only on the 26th. This post explains where that difference comes from.
Below are the dates with their Pune timings, how far the panchangs agree, which dates suit a hall wedding with guests, and why the remaining days have no muhurat.
Lagna muhurat 2027: January and February dates
The timings are Drik Panchang's, calculated for Pune. A Hindu day runs from sunrise to sunrise, so the pre-dawn window listed under "30 January" actually falls in the early hours of 31 January.
January 2027

February 2027
| Date | Day | Muhurat window (Pune) | Nakshatra |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 February | Tuesday | From 5:47 PM to 7:08 AM on the 3rd | Mula |
| 3 February | Wednesday | 7:08 AM to 12:26 PM | Mula |
| 9 February | Tuesday | Pre-dawn only: 3:40 AM to 7:05 AM on the 10th | Uttara Bhadrapada |
| 10 February | Wednesday | 7:05 AM to 2:45 PM, and again 3:04 AM to 7:05 AM on the 11th | Uttara Bhadrapada, Revati |
| 11 February | Thursday | 7:05 AM to 11:30 PM | Revati |
| 14 February | Sunday | Pre-dawn only: 4:46 AM to 7:03 AM on the 15th | Rohini |
| 15 February | Monday | 7:03 AM to 12:33 PM | Rohini |
| 21 February | Sunday | 11:27 AM to 1:50 PM | Magha |
| 22 February | Monday | From 11:54 AM to 6:58 AM on the 23rd | Uttara Phalguni |
| 25 February | Thursday | From 9:32 AM to 6:56 AM on the 26th | Swati |
| 26 February | Friday | 6:56 AM to 10:13 AM | Swati |
| 27 February | Saturday | From 10:08 PM to 6:55 AM on the 28th | Anuradha |
| 28 February | Sunday | 6:55 AM to 1:47 PM | Anuradha |
Times shift by a few minutes from city to city because sunrise does. Mumbai, Nashik or Kolhapur will be close to Pune but not identical.
How we checked these dates
On 10 November 2026 we compared three online panchangs.
- Drik Panchang lists the 22 dates above. Its list for New Delhi matches day for day. The only differences are a few minutes in the times tied to sunrise.
- Shubh Panchang lists the same 22 dates, with the same nakshatras and near-identical hours.
- Prokerala gives a much shorter list for Pune: 15 January (starting on the night of the 14th), 18, 24 and 31 January, and 3, 11, 22 and 25 February. All eight are also on Drik Panchang's list.
So the dates every source agrees on are 15, 18, 24 and 31 January and 3, 11, 22 and 25 February. The other dates are listed by two of the three. That is normal: publishers apply the same rules a little differently.
Date Panchang and the Marathi lists
If you searched for "lagna muhurat 2027 Date Panchang", one thing first: the table above is not Date Panchang's. The Date Panchang website offers personalised muhurat reports, but we could not find a public list of its 2027 wedding dates there. On 10 November, the Kalnirnay website showed only October 2026 dates. For Date Panchang's or Kalnirnay's own dates, check the printed edition or ask your guruji.
One Marathi list we could open is the November-to-June 2026-27 list that Sakal published on 8 November 2026. The article does not say which panchang it comes from. It sorts dates into two kinds:
- Main muhurats: 26, 27 and 29 January, and 2, 3, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 27 and 28 February.
- Emergency (apatkalin) Simhastha muhurats: 1, 2, 4, 20 and 24 January.
Set against Drik Panchang, the lists compare like this.
- On both lists (as Sakal main dates): 26 and 27 January, and 2, 3, 10, 11, 15, 21, 22, 25, 27 and 28 February. Whatever panchang your family follows, these twelve dates are the least likely to draw an objection.
- On Drik Panchang only: 15, 18, 19, 30 and 31 January, and 26 February. Sakal has 20 and 24 January, but only as emergency dates. (The 9 and 14 February windows are the pre-dawn hours of the 10th and 15th, and both lists have those two dates.)
- On Sakal's list only: 29 January, and 12, 16, 23 and 24 February. Drik Panchang finds no suitable nakshatra on 12 February and an unfavourable yoga on the other four days. Sakal's emergency dates of 1, 2 and 4 January fall in Dhanurmas by Drik Panchang's reckoning.
The two lists apply some rules differently. One clear difference is Simhastha Guru, covered next.
Simhastha Guru and January's "emergency" muhurats
Drik Panchang's Jupiter transit table has Jupiter (Guru) entering Simha (Leo) on 31 October 2026 and moving back, in retrograde, into Karka (Cancer) at 12:52 AM on 25 January 2027. The period when Jupiter is in Simha is called Simhastha.
Some panchangs and astrologers treat Simhastha Guru as unfavourable for weddings. Drik Panchang says plainly in its method notes that Singhast Guru is considered inauspicious, but because it lasts 12 to 13 months it would block weddings for almost a year. A wedding can be held during Singhast Guru while the Sun is in Mesha (Aries), and Drik Panchang's own list does not apply the rule at all.
Sakal's main January dates start on the 26th, the day after Drik Panchang shows Jupiter leaving Simha. The article gives no reason, but the timing matches exactly. In practice: if your guruji observes Simhastha, ask about 15, 18, 19, 20 and 24 January before you book. The dates from 26 January to the end of February do not raise this question.
Which dates actually work for a wedding
A muhurat at 4 AM is a valid muhurat, and some families do hold a pre-dawn ceremony. Most families booking a karyalaya, though, want a window that covers a daytime or evening ceremony with guests. Read the table that way and the two months look like this:
- Close to a full day: 19, 24, 27 and 31 January, and 11 February. 24 and 31 January are Sundays, so halls and caterers will be asked for those first. Drik Panchang's Marathi calendar also gives 11 February as Vasant Panchami.
- Morning to afternoon: 15 January (until 2:13 PM), 20 January (until 4:17 PM), and 3, 10, 15 and 28 February. 28 February is a Sunday with a window until 1:47 PM. These suit a traditional morning lagna.
- Morning only: 26 February, until 10:13 AM.
- Late morning into the night: 22 February (from 11:54 AM) and 25 February (from 9:32 AM). Both leave the evening open.
- From evening or night: 2 February (from 5:47 PM) and 26 January (from 8:18 PM).
- Short or pre-dawn windows: 18 January (seven minutes), 21 February (a little over two hours), and the night or pre-dawn windows of 30 January and 9, 14 and 27 February. These suit small family ceremonies more than a large wedding.
Goraj muhurat. Drik Panchang gives Pune's sunset on 15 January as 6:18 PM. The windows that run past sunset are on 19, 24, 27 and 31 January, and 2, 11, 22 and 25 February. Those are the dates to look at for an evening ceremony.
Weekends. Seven weekend days have a muhurat: 24, 30 and 31 January, and 14, 21, 27 and 28 February. Only three of them give a good stretch of daytime: 24 January, 31 January and 28 February. Families who have not booked yet should look hard at weekday dates such as 27 January, 11 February or 25 February, which are easier to get.
Why early January has no muhurats
Dhanurmas (Kharmas). By Drik Panchang, the Sun enters Dhanu at 10:29 AM on 16 December 2026 in Pune. Drik Panchang gives no wedding dates while the Sun is in Dhanu, Meena, Karka, Simha, Kanya or Tula, and the Dhanu month is the one called Kharmas. With 13 to 15 December also lacking a suitable nakshatra, there is nothing between 12 December 2026 and 15 January. For the December dates, see our November-December 2026 muhurat post.
Makar Sankranti. According to Drik Panchang, the Sun enters Makar (Capricorn) at 9:14 PM on 14 January 2027 in Pune. Because that is after sunset, the Sankranti punya kaal and the festival fall on Friday 15 January. 14 January still falls partly in Dhanurmas, and the first muhurat starts at sunrise on the 15th. Prokerala starts its window at 9:06 PM on the 14th instead. The gap does not matter for booking a hall, but ask your guruji if you are planning a night ceremony.
No Venus or Jupiter combustion in this window. Weddings are not held while Shukra (Venus) or Guru (Jupiter) is asta, or set, but neither is set in January or February 2027. Drik Panchang has Venus rising on 28 October 2026 and setting next on 22 July 2027. Jupiter's 2026 combustion ended on 11 August, and the next one starts on 19 August 2027. This is a change from last year, when Venus was set from 13 December 2025 to 31 January 2026 and the whole of January 2026 was closed.
Paush month. Drik Panchang's Marathi calendar puts every January muhurat date, and 2 and 3 February, in the lunar month of Paush. Magha starts after the new moon of 6 February, so the dates from 9 February onward are in Magha. Many families avoid Paush for weddings. In a 2019 Lokmat article, though, panchang maker D. K. Soman said no scripture forbids a wedding in Paush, and astrology scholar Vikramaditya Panshikar said Date Panchang lists Paush wedding dates too. If your family still keeps Paush free, look at the February dates from the 9th.
The gaps inside the season
Even between 15 January and 28 February, more than half the days have no muhurat. Drik Panchang gives a reason for each:
- No suitable nakshatra: 16-17 January, 21-23 January, 6-8 February, 12-13 February and 17-19 February. Drik Panchang counts eleven nakshatras as auspicious for a wedding. The dates in these two months fall in Rohini, Mrigashira, Magha, Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, Swati, Anuradha, Mula, Uttara Bhadrapada and Revati. The one exception in the table is 18 January, whose seven-minute window Drik Panchang lists under both Rohini and Krittika.
- An unfavourable yoga: 25, 28 and 29 January, and 16, 20, 23 and 24 February.
- An unfavourable karana: 4 and 5 February.
- Nakshatra time too short: 1 February.
Drik Panchang's Marathi calendar also shows an annular solar eclipse on 6 February and a penumbral lunar eclipse on 21 February. 6 February has no muhurat anyway. 21 February does, so if you are considering it, ask your guruji.
After February, the muhurats continue until 14 March. The Sun moves into Meena on 15 March. For the rest of the year, see our month-by-month list of shubh vivah muhurats for 2027.
Frequently asked questions
What are the marriage dates in January 2027? By Drik Panchang, nine: 15, 18, 19, 20, 24, 26, 27, 30 and 31 January. The 18 January window lasts only seven minutes, and the 30 January window is pre-dawn. Sakal's Marathi list has main dates on 26, 27 and 29 January only.
How many wedding muhurats are there in February 2027? Thirteen by Drik Panchang and fourteen by Sakal's list. Ten dates are on both: 2, 3, 10, 11, 15, 21, 22, 25, 27 and 28 February.
When is the first muhurat after Makar Sankranti? Friday 15 January 2027, Sankranti day itself, from 7:10 AM to 2:13 PM in Pune.
What are the Date Panchang muhurats for January and February 2027? We could not find Date Panchang's 2027 list online, so this post presents none of its dates as Date Panchang's. Check the printed Date Panchang or ask your guruji. The dates that appear on both the Marathi and the online lists are given above.
Can we marry in January during Simhastha? Drik Panchang does not apply the Simhastha rule. Jupiter leaves Simha on 25 January, and Sakal lists the dates before that as emergency Simhastha muhurats. Ask your guruji whether he follows the rule.
Which weekend dates have a muhurat in January and February 2027? 24, 30 and 31 January, and 14, 21, 27 and 28 February. The windows on 30 January and 14 and 27 February are at night or before dawn, so check the timing.
