Varalakshmi Vratham 2027: Date and Muhurtham
Varalakshmi Vratham 2027 Date & Muhurtham
The 2027 date, why the vratam falls when it does, the best time of day, and how to choose an auspicious muhurtham for your home.
When is Varalakshmi Vratham in 2027?
In 2027, Varalakshmi Vratham falls on Friday, 13 August — the last Friday of the bright fortnight (Shukla Paksha) of the month of Shravana, before Shravana Purnima.
Why the Friday before Shravana Purnima
Friday — Lakshmi’s day
Friday (Shukravara) is sacred to Goddess Lakshmi, making it the natural day for her worship.
Shravana month
Shravana is among the holiest months, especially auspicious for vratams and devotion.
Before Purnima
The bright fortnight before the full moon is considered ideal for invoking abundance and growth.
Equal to Ashtalakshmi
Worship on this day is held equal to worshipping all eight forms of Lakshmi together.
The best time of day
Most families perform the vratam in the morning after bath and preparation. The evening Pradosha Kaal is also considered very powerful for invoking Lakshmi. The exact lagnam that suits your family is best confirmed by a pujari — Karishye provides free muhurtham guidance with every booking.

What you need ready before the vratham
The kalasam is usually set up the evening before, so everything except the perishables should be in the house by Thursday 12 August 2027. This is the full list, split by what tends to be hard to source and what you will already have or can buy fresh on the day.
