Marriage Muhurat

Marriage Muhurat – Auspicious Hindu Wedding Dates & Timings

In Hindu tradition, marriage is not just a social event—it is a sacred ritual (samskara) that unites two souls in a spiritual bond. To ensure love, peace, and prosperity in married life, it is important to choose the right Vivah Muhurat—an auspicious date and time for the wedding.

At ShubhPanchang, we offer accurate and astrologically calculated Hindu Marriage Muhurat dates, based on Vedic Panchang Shuddhi and expert astrology.

✅ Find the best dates, understand how muhurats are selected, and learn why timing matters before tying the knot.

💠 1. What is a Vivah Muhurat?

A Vivah Muhurat is the most astrologically favorable time to perform Hindu wedding rituals. These timings are chosen after studying several factors like planetary positions, Nakshatras (lunar constellations), Tithis (lunar dates), and Vastu (spatial harmony).

It’s more than just checking a good day—it’s about aligning your wedding with cosmic energy to invite harmony and happiness into married life.

🌞 2. Why Choosing a Shubh Muhurat Matters

Ancient texts like Muhurta Chintamani and Dharmasindhu strongly advise against getting married during inauspicious times. Choosing the wrong muhurat may result in:

• Marital stress or disputes
• Health and fertility issues
• Financial problems

Avoid These Times:

• Shukra Tara Asta (Venus combustion)
• Guru Tara Asta (Jupiter combustion)
• Adhik Maas, Kshaya Maas, Chaturmas
• Pitru Paksha, Holashtak, and Singhast Guru

Not all regions follow these periods uniformly, so always consult a local astrologer.

🔍 3. How We Calculate Hindu Marriage Muhurat Dates

We follow the Panchang Shuddhi process, ensuring dates are selected using the most reliable methods. Here’s what we consider:

✅ Solar Month Validation

Only specific solar months are considered suitable for marriage:

• Auspicious Sun Signs: Aries (Mesha), Taurus (Vrishabha), Gemini (Mithuna), Scorpio (Vrischika), Capricorn (Makara), Aquarius (Kumbha)
• Inauspicious: Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Sagittarius, Pisces

❌ Avoid Dhanu month (Kharmas) and any months overlapping with Chaturmas.

✅ Nakshatra Shuddhi

Only these Nakshatras are considered auspicious:

• Rohini, Mrigashirsha, Magha, Uttaraphalguni, Hasta, Swati, Anuradha, Moola, Uttarasadha, Uttara Bhadrapada, Revati

❌ Days with inauspicious Nakshatras or unfavorable Yogas are skipped.

✅ Karana Filtering

Avoid the following Karanas (half-day periods), as they are linked to negative outcomes:

• Vishti, Shakuni, Chatushpada, Nagava

Acceptable karanas include: Bava, Balava, Kaulava, Taitila, Garaja, Vanija, Kinstughna

✅ Tithi and Weekday Consideration

While not the primary factor, these still play a role:

• Auspicious Tithis: 2nd (Dwitiya), 3rd (Tritiya), 5th (Panchami), 7th (Saptami), 11th (Ekadashi), 13th (Trayodashi)
• Avoid: 4th (Chaturthi), 9th (Navami), 14th (Chaturdashi)
• Best Weekdays: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
• Avoid: Tuesday

✅ Lagna (Ascendant)

While we don’t lock muhurats based on Lagna, our time windows (usually 4+ hours) allow astrologers to select good ones like Gemini, Virgo, or Libra.
