Engagement Muhurat in December 2027

• 1 December The nakshatra and the tithi meet only under the rejected karana Vishti.
• 3–6 December The Moon is in Shravana, Dhanishta, Shatabhisha and Purva Bhadrapada — none of them among the 11 nakshatras permitted for sagai (engagement).
• 7 December Tuesday — the rules never fix a sagai (engagement) on a Tuesday.
• 10–11 December The Moon is in Ashwini, Bharani and Krittika — none of them among the 11 nakshatras permitted for sagai (engagement).
• 14 December Tuesday — the rules never fix a sagai (engagement) on a Tuesday.
• 15 December The Moon is in Ardra and Punarvasu — none of them among the 11 nakshatras permitted for sagai (engagement).
• 16–31 December Kharmas (the Sun in Dhanu) runs from Dhanu Sankranti (16 December 2027) to Makar Sankranti (15 January 2028).

• Where these rules come from: the vivah rules of the muhurta texts, which the betrothal follows wherever the texts and the published lists agree — the same nakshatras, tithis, yogas, karanas and closed seasons as this site's vivah list, with the two differences below. No large almanac publishes a computed engagement list for a whole year, so the rules are stated here in full rather than matched to someone else's dates.
• Kharmas is closed: no date while the Sun is in Dhanu (Sagittarius) or Meena (Pisces) (16 December 2026 – 14 January 2027, 15 March 2027 – 14 April 2027 and 16 December 2027 – 15 January 2028).
• Weekday: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday (the Vedic weekday, which changes at sunrise). Never Tuesday.
• Nakshatra: the Moon in one of these 11 — Rohini, Mrigashira, Magha, Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, Swati, Anuradha, Mula, Uttara Ashadha, Uttara Bhadrapada and Revati.
• Tithi: any tithi of either fortnight except Amavasya.
• Yoga and karana: the window avoids the 9 rejected yogas — Atiganda, Ganda, Parigha, Shula, Vaidhriti, Vajra, Vishkamba, Vyaghata and Vyatipata — and the karanas Chatushpada, Kimstughna, Naga, Shakuni and Vishti.
• Guru and Shukra must be clear of the Sun: no date while Jupiter is within 11° of the Sun or Venus within 10° (8° while retrograde) — the classical combustion (asta) orbs.
• An adhika month is closed: there is no adhika month in 2027.
• Chaturmas — marked, not closed: Chaturmas (13 July 2027 – 9 November 2027) closes the wedding itself. For the betrothal practice divides: some almanacs close it, others list dates inside it, and many families hold the sagai in Chaturmas and fix the wedding for after Devuthani Ekadashi. Those dates stay on the list, marked — 21 of them in 2027.
• Rikta tithis: Chaturthi, Navami and Chaturdashi are allowed, as the published vivah lists allow them, and marked — 25 of the 2027 dates carry one.
• Pitru Paksha: the shraddha fortnight (15 September 2027 – 30 September 2027) falls inside Chaturmas; most families hold no ceremony in it, so its dates carry a mark of their own — 4 of them in 2027.
• Which rite this is for: the ring exchange, the roka, the tilak or the chunni ceremony — whichever the family treats as the betrothal takes the window.
• The day: sunrise to the next sunrise, for New Delhi. A day any closed period touches is left out whole; inside the days that remain, the muhurat is the time when every condition above holds at once, for at least 20 minutes.
• Not checked here: the couple's own charts — kundli matching, and the strength of the Moon and Jupiter from each birth sign — and the lagna at the ceremony. A priest checks these against the two birth charts.
