Muhurat dates in August 2027
A muhurat is a window the panchang marks as favourable for beginning something. This calendar lists those windows and nothing else: no date here is a ranking, a caution or a warning.

What the calendar is doing in August
August is Shravan into Bhadrapada and remains inside Chaturmas. It is the fullest observance month of the year and the emptiest for beginnings: Shravan's Mondays, Nag Panchami, Raksha Bandhan on the Shravan full moon, and Janmashtami on the eighth of the waning moon in Bhadrapada.
Ganesh Chaturthi opens in Bhadrapada, usually at the end of the month, and runs a day and a half to ten days according to the household. None of these is a date for starting something; they are days the tradition asks a family to keep.
August is the emptiest month of the year for bookings that begin something and among the fullest for those that observe. Ganesh Chaturthi at the end of it is two appointments rather than one — the pranapratishtha and the visarjan days apart.
Krishna Janmashtami is kept at midnight rather than in the evening, which makes it one of the few household observances of the year with an hour fixed by the story itself.
