Vivah Muhurat 2026: Shubh Marriage Dates Month by Month

This page lists every shubh wedding date in 2026, month by month. Some months are full, and some are quiet on purpose. Open a month to see each day with its exact time window.

A vivah muhurat (wedding time) is the window when the sky supports a new marriage. Families pick it so the first vows begin on steady ground. The right date sets a calm tone for the whole ceremony.

Each time range shows when every condition holds together, and some run past midnight into the next morning.

Chaturmas, the four-month rest between Devshayani and Devuthani Ekadashi

25 Jul 2026, 5:38 am – 21 Nov 2026, 6:48 am

Chaturmas runs from Devshayani Ekadashi to Devuthani Ekadashi, roughly the rainy season. Tradition keeps it for prayer, fasting and quiet, not for big new starts. Weddings, housewarmings and mundan (first haircut) wait for it to close.

Kharmas, when the Sun sits in Dhanu (Sagittarius) or Meena (Pisces)

16 Dec 2026, 10:25 am – 14 Jan 2027, 9:10 pm

For about a month at a time, the Sun passes through Dhanu (Sagittarius) and Meena (Pisces). Guru (Jupiter) rules both signs, and the Sun's heat dulls his blessing there. So weddings, housewarmings and openings wait until the Sun moves on.

These are the rules every listed date had to pass.

The Moon must sit in a marriage nakshatra (lunar star). The eleven are Rohini, Mrigashira, Magha, Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, Swati, Anuradha, Mula, Uttara Ashadha, Uttara Bhadrapada and Revati. The tithi (lunar day), yoga, karana and weekday must be clean, with no Vishti (Bhadra). Weddings also wait through Kharmas, Chaturmas and any spell when Guru (Jupiter) or Shukra (Venus) is hidden by the Sun.

Brihat Samhita, Varahamihira: Ch. 100, vv. 1 to 2 (Chidambaram Iyer 1884 prints it as Chapter LIII): the eleven marriage nakshatras, no Vishti karana, no Vyatipata or Vaidhriti yoga.

Kharmas, Chaturmas, Guru and Shukra asta: Panchang convention followed by major almanacs. No owned classical verse states these pauses, so we name them as convention.

Gandanta: Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra, Ch. 92, vv. 1 and 3 (Santhanam): ceremonies like marriage avoid nakshatra gandanta. We exclude the full navamsa on each side of the Revati-Ashwini, Ashlesha-Magha and Jyeshtha-Mula junctions, as major almanacs do.

Computation: Swiss Ephemeris, Lahiri ayanamsa, New Delhi sunrise to next sunrise. Each listed span is when every condition holds together.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do some months have no wedding dates at all?+

Weddings pause during Kharmas, Chaturmas and the weeks when Shukra (Venus) or Guru (Jupiter) cannot be seen. These are old, widely kept rules, not a sign of bad luck. The dates return once the pause ends.

Do we still need kundali matching if the date is shubh?+

Yes. The date and the match answer two different questions. Kundali matching looks at the couple, and the muhurat looks at the day. Most families check both.

What if our chosen date is not on this list?+

It means at least one condition did not hold on that day. Ask a family astrologer to look at your own charts before you decide. Some families keep the date and hold the key rites inside a better window.

Does the wedding time matter, or only the date?+

The time matters too. Each date shows the hours when every condition holds together. Families usually place the pheras (the seven rounds) inside that window.
