💍Marriage (Vivah)
Marriage Muhurat, March 2027
The filter for a marriage returns 3 days in March 2027, with 18 of the 31 closed outright by Holashtak and Meena Kharmas. Every rejection below carries the limb it failed on, so the working can be checked rather than taken on trust.

What removed the rest of the month
Marriage is the one occasion every closure applies to, and in most months they take more days than the five limbs do.
- Holashtak took 8 days of March
- Meena Kharmas took 17 days of March
The nakshatra filter is the other narrow one. The ten vivah nakshatras are ten of the twenty-seven, and they fall on 10 days of March 2027 — 4 Uttara Ashadha, 10 Uttara Bhadrapada, 11 Revati, 15 Rohini, 16 Mrigashira, 20 Magha, 22 Uttara Phalguni, 23 Hasta, 25 Swati, 27 Anuradha — of which 3 survive everything else.
Which rule did the excluding
18 days of March were shut by a closure and never examined. Of the 13 that were, 3 passed everything, 0 missed by a single rule, and 10 missed by two or more, in a month where one of this rite's 10 accepted nakshatras ran on 10 days. Nakshatra is the binding constraint here, ruling out 10 of the 13.
| Rule | What it asks for | Days it excluded | On its own |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tithi | 7 of the fifteen — Dwitiya, Tritiya, Panchami, Saptami, Dashami, Ekadashi, Trayodashi and Purnima, Ashtami excluded | 6 | — |
| Vara | Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday | 5 | — |
| Nakshatra | 10 of the 27 | 10 | — |
| Yoga | none of the nine ashubha yogas | 4 | — |
| Karana | not Vishti (Bhadra) at sunrise | 1 | — |
Read the last column as a counterfactual. Nothing in March 2027 fails on exactly one rule with everything else in place, so there is no single concession that would widen the shortlist.
Nakshatra supply. 10 of the 27 are accepted for this rite, and they fell on 10 days of March 2027.
Weekday supply. March 2027 holds 18 days of the right weekday (Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday), 8 of them outside a closure, and 3 survive the rest of the filter — against 10 days supplied by the 10 nakshatras. Unlike the sky's four limbs, this is the one the calendar fixes.
Every closure applies, and this is where they are strictest. Inside a qualifying day the pheras still need a lagna window calculated from both charts.
Every day of March 2027, and what ruled it out
All 31 days with the verdict and the reason, each linked to its own panchang page: 18 shut before being read, 13 examined against 10 nakshatras, 3 through.

March 2027 against the rest of 2027
March 2027 is 1st of the twelve, level with 1 other month of 2027 for this rite. March 2027 and November 2027 carry the most, 3 each, and 5 months carry none, out of 12 for the year.
The other six occasions in March 2027
Same 31 days, seven different filters: in March they return between 1 and 3 qualifying days, median 3. This rite’s 3 is the median itself, and the reason is the 10-nakshatra set and the 5 closures it carries.
Questions about March 2027
How many days in March 2027 are good for marriage?
3 days of the 31 pass every filter: 4 March (Thursday), 10 March (Wednesday), 11 March (Thursday). They are not evenly spread — the widest gap between two of them is 6 days. 0 further days miss on one rule alone and are listed with the rule they missed.
Is any part of March 2027 closed for auspicious beginnings?
Holashtak, 14 March to 21 March. The eight days ending at Holika Dahan on 21 March. Observed in Punjab, Himachal, Haryana and much of North India; not generally in the south or in Bengal. Meena Kharmas, 15 March to 14 April. The Sun is in Pisces. Auspicious beginnings are deferred through the whole transit.
Why do other sites list more marriage dates in March 2027?
The closures alone take 18 of this month's 31 days — Holashtak, Meena Kharmas apply here — and a list assembled without them has 18 more days to draw on than this one does. Of the 13 that were examined, nakshatra removed 10.
What is Guru or Shukra asta, and why does it matter for a wedding?
A planet is asta — combust — when it comes within a few degrees of the Sun in longitude and is lost in its glare. Jupiter sanctifies the vivah and Venus governs conjugal life, so a pandit declines the days either one is combust however good the tithi and nakshatra are. Shukra asta runs 6 July to 17 September; Guru asta runs 16 August to 15 September in 2027. It is the closure published lists most often miss, and in 2027 it removes more days than Kharmas does.
