How to choose the right muhurat
In Hindu tradition, marriage (vivah) is one of the most important samskaras (life ceremonies), and choosing the right muhurat is considered essential for a happy married life. The ideal marriage muhurat requires the convergence of multiple panchang factors.
Key factors for an auspicious marriage muhurat: (1) Tithi — should be Dwitiya, Tritiya, Panchami, Saptami, Dashami, Ekadashi, or Trayodashi; (2) Nakshatra — Rohini, Mrigashira, Magha, Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, Swati, Anuradha, Mula, Uttara Ashadha, Uttara Bhadrapada, or Revati are considered good; (3) Vara — Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday preferred; (4) Yoga — avoid Vyatipata, Parigha, and Vaidhriti; (5) Karana — avoid Vishti (Bhadra).
The most popular marriage months in 2026 are January-February (post-makarsankranti winter weddings), April-May (spring), and November-December (post-Diwali winter). Avoid Adhik Maas (extra lunar month) and Chaturmas periods for weddings.
