Kaal Sarp Dosh Puja Muhurat 2026–27 — Amavasya, Panchami & Ashlesha Dates for Ujjain

Four kinds of day are traditionally chosen for Kaal Sarp Dosh Puja, each for a reason tied to the dosha itself:

• Nag Panchami — the year's foremost day for serpent remedies. It fell on 17 August in 2026.
• Amavasya — the dark moon, when Rahu-Ketu remedies are held to carry the most force. An Amavasya on a Monday, Somvati Amavasya, adds Shiva's own weekday and is especially sought after.
• Panchami tithi — the tithi of the Nagas, in either fortnight of any month.
• Ashlesha nakshatra — the serpent star, ruled by the Nagas.

The dates below are the tithi or nakshatra prevailing at sunrise in Ujjain, calculated from the ephemeris rather than hand-picked. The same calculation drives the "Upcoming Auspicious Dates" list on our Kaal Sarp Dosh Puja in Ujjain page.

• 10 October 2026 (Saturday)
• 9 November 2026 (Monday) — Somvati Amavasya
• 8 December 2026 (Tuesday)
• 7 January 2027 (Thursday)
• 6 February 2027 (Saturday)
• 8 March 2027 (Monday) — Somvati Amavasya
• 6 April 2027 (Tuesday)
• 6 May 2027 (Thursday)
• 4 June 2027 (Friday)
• 4 July 2027 (Sunday)
• 2 August 2027 (Monday) — Somvati Amavasya
• 31 August 2027 (Tuesday)

If you want a single strongest date in the coming months, 9 November 2026 is the next Somvati Amavasya.

• 6 October 2026 (Tuesday)
• 2 November 2026 (Monday)
• 30 November 2026 (Monday)
• 27 December 2026 (Sunday)
• 20 February 2027 (Saturday)
• 19 March 2027 (Friday)

• 13 May 2027 (Thursday)
• 9 June 2027 (Wednesday) — also a Panchami
• 3 August 2027 (Tuesday)
• 30 August 2027 (Monday)

Ashlesha days that fall on a Monday — 2 November, 30 November 2026 and 30 August 2027 — join the serpent star with Shiva's weekday.

Panchami comes twice a month, so there is rarely more than two weeks to wait:

• October 2026: 1, 15 and 30
• November 2026: 14 and 28
• December 2026: 14 (Monday) and 28 (Monday)
• January 2027: 13 and 26
• February 2027: 11 and 25
• March 2027: 13 and 27
• April 2027: 11, and 25–26
• May 2027: 25
• June 2027: 9 and 24
• July 2027: 8 and 24
• August 2027: 6 and 22

Nag Panchami 2027 falls in the Shravan month; its date is added to the list on the puja page once the panchang confirms it.

The order of preference, where you have the freedom to choose, is roughly: Nag Panchami, then a Somvati Amavasya, then any Amavasya or an Ashlesha day that falls on a Monday, then an ordinary Panchami or Ashlesha day.

But the practical rule matters more than the ranking. Do not postpone a needed puja for months to catch a better date. If a Rahu or Ketu period is running now, the nearest suitable date is better than the ideal one next summer. And if you will attend in person, choose the date you can actually travel on — the vidhi performed is the same on every one of them. Why the puja is chosen at all, and whether your chart genuinely has the dosha, is covered in how to check Kaal Sarp Dosh in your own kundali.

Pick any of these dates in the booking form on our Kaal Sarp Dosh Puja page and enter the name and gotra for the sankalp. The puja is ₹3,500 all-inclusive — samagri, dakshina, the nag and Rahu-Ketu murtis, the havan, live video, the recording and prasad at home — and takes about two to three hours on the day.

If you have settled on a date, booking a week or two ahead gives the most room to arrange travel or the video call. What to do on the day and afterwards is in Kaal Sarp Puja ke niyam.
