Muhurat dates in March 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 March
March is Phalguna running into Chaitra, and the Holika Dahan full moon closes the old year in much of the north. The days immediately around Holi are kept for the festival rather than for household rites, and the wedding season pauses through them.
Chaitra opens the lunar year for most of the region, with Gudi Padwa and Ugadi on its first day and Chaitra Navratri over the nine that follow. Ram Navami closes those nine. Navratri is an observance rather than a season for beginnings, though several of its days carry their own standing in the tradition.
Household rites cluster in the days before Holi and thin out immediately after it, and Chaitra Navratri then occupies nine of the days that follow. The practical effect is that March has two short usable stretches rather than one long one.
Chaitra is the first month of the lunar year in the north and the last in the south's solar reckoning, which is one of several places where the two calendars name the same day differently.
