Editorial Summary & Key Highlights
DrikPanchang lists seven auspicious marriage dates in March 2027, calculated for Jaipur: the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 9th, 10th and 14th. Every one falls before the 15th. Several are continuous windows that cross midnight rather than separate days, so the 1st and 2nd are one stretch and the 3rd and 4th another. After 14 March the calendar is empty for five weeks until 18 April, because of Kharmas, which begins when the Sun enters Pisces in mid-March and ends when it moves into Aries.

March 2027 has seven auspicious marriage dates in DrikPanchang's calendar, and every one of them falls in the first half of the month. After 14 March there is nothing until 18 April.
The dates
The seven are 1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 10 and 14 March.
“Seven dates across a single fortnight, in a month that ends in a five-week shutdown, is a supply problem.”
They are not seven separate opportunities. The first four are two long stretches that happen to cross midnight. The window on the 1st opens at 11:12 PM and runs to 6:50 AM on the 2nd, under Mula. The 2nd then continues from 6:50 AM to 3:24 PM. The 3rd and 4th work the same way, opening at 1:06 AM on the 3rd and closing at 1:35 AM on the 5th, under Uttara Ashadha.
The 9th and 10th are a similar pair, running from 9:58 AM on the 9th through to 5:13 AM on the 11th under Uttara Bhadrapada and Revati. That leaves 14 March on its own, from 5:10 PM to 6:37 AM the next morning, under Rohini.
Then the calendar shuts
The gap after 14 March lasts five weeks. April's first date is the 18th, and there is nothing in between.
This is Kharmas, which returns when the Sun enters Pisces around the middle of March and lifts when it moves into Aries a month later. It is the same mechanism that closes the calendar between mid-December and mid-January, and it catches more people in spring, because March and April both look like open months from the outside.
What that does to a March wedding
Seven dates across a single fortnight, in a month that ends in a five-week shutdown, is a supply problem. Every family working from this panchang and marrying in early 2027 is choosing from the same seven days, and the venues, caterers and photographers those families want are choosing from the same seven days too.
The dates in the first week are the tightest, because the 1st to the 4th is effectively two continuous windows rather than four independent ones. A venue booked for the stretch beginning on the 1st is not free on the morning of the 2nd.
Before you commit
These timings are calculated for Jaipur. A muhurat window is derived from local sunrise, so a list computed for another city will not give the same start and end times, and occasionally will not give the same date. Check the timing for the city where the ceremony happens, and confirm it with the priest conducting it.
The full year, month by month, is in our 2027 muhurat calendar.

The acoustic sitar during midnight pheras is such an inspired touch. Finally a return to soul over decibels!
Loved the breakdown of vintage zardozi craftsmanship. True luxury takes thousands of hours.
