What qualifies a date for namkaran
A date reaches this list only by passing every day-level rule at once: Nakshatra one of Ashwini, Rohini, Mrigashira, Punarvasu, Pushya, Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, Chitra, Swati, Anuradha, Uttara Ashadha, Shravana, Dhanishta, Shatabhisha, Uttara Bhadrapada, Revati; tithi one of Dwitiya, Tritiya, Panchami, Saptami, Dashami, Ekadashi, Trayodashi, Purnima; weekday one of Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday; excluding Kharmas (Sun in Sagittarius or Pisces). Rikta tithis, Amavasya, Bhadra (Vishti karana) and the inauspicious yogas are removed throughout. Of the 365 days covered in 2027, 31 survive that filter.

What this page is not
These are shortlisted DAYS, not muhurtas. A muhurta is a window of time at a place - it needs the lagna rising at that moment, and often the chart of the person concerned. What this page does is apply the day-level rules (nakshatra, tithi, vara, yoga, karana, and the Kharmas and Chaturmas bars) to every date in the year and show you which survive, along with why. Take the shortlist to a panditji to fix the actual hour. Panchang values are computed for New Delhi, India (IST) and shift with your location.

Frequently asked
- How many namkaran muhurat dates are there in 2027?
- 31 dates clear the day-level rules. The earliest is Friday, 15 January 2027; the last is Thursday, 9 December 2027.
- Is a date from this list enough to fix the ceremony?
- No. A muhurta is a window of time, not a day - the rising sign at the chosen hour matters, and for many ceremonies so does the chart of the person involved. This list narrows the year to the days that are eligible at all, which is genuinely most of the work, and then a panditji fixes the hour.
- Why is a date I saw elsewhere missing from this list?
- Almost always because the rule sets differ. Some almanacs allow weekdays or nakshatras we exclude, some apply regional rules we don't, and some list a date on which the qualifying nakshatra covers only part of the day. We show the exact criteria above and the panchang for every listed date, so you can see what we applied rather than having to trust it.
- Are these timings right for my city?
- The panchang here is computed for New Delhi, India (IST). The tithi and nakshatra a day carries change little across India, but sunrise, sunset and the exact moment a limb changes do shift with longitude - so use the free panchang calculator for your own city before committing to a date near a boundary.
