Vivah muhurat 2026 and 2027: auspicious marriage dates

The rules in plain words

A date is listed only when all of these hold. They follow Muhurta Chintamani as most printed panchangs apply it:

• Nakshatra: Rohini, Mrigashira, Magha, Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, Swati, Anuradha, Mula, Uttara Ashadha, Uttara Bhadrapada and Revati.
• Gandanta is left out: the first quarter (pada) of Magha, the first quarter (pada) of Mula and the last quarter (pada) of Revati.
• Yogas avoided: Vishkambha, Atiganda, Shula, Ganda, Vyaghata, Vajra, Vyatipata, Parigha and Vaidhriti.
• Karanas avoided: Vishti (Bhadra), Shakuni, Chatushpada, Naga and Kimstughna.
• Solar month: the Sun in Mesha, Vrishabha, Mithuna, Vrishchika, Makara and Kumbha, or in Tula after Devuthani Ekadashi. The days with the Sun in Karka, Simha, Kanya, Dhanu and Meena are closed (the Dhanu and Meena months are kharmas).
• Not in Chaturmas: the days from Devshayani Ekadashi (Ashadha shukla 11) to Devuthani Ekadashi (Kartik shukla 11) are closed.
• Adhik maas (the extra lunar month) is avoided in full.
• Jupiter (Guru) and Venus (Shukra) not set (asta). The days on which they are too near the Sun to be seen at dawn or dusk are closed, with 3 days before setting (vriddhatva) and 3 days after rising (shishutva).

Tithi and weekday are not used to strike out a date, as in most published lists; many families still prefer Dwitiya, Tritiya, Panchami, Saptami, Ekadashi or Trayodashi and avoid Tuesday.

The lagna (rising sign) at the moment of the pheras is not checked here. A window of a few hours usually holds a good lagna; it is chosen for the place of the wedding.

Your own panchang and your own charts

These are general dates from the panchang, the first step. Your family’s own panchang may differ by a day here and there, because traditions differ on the rules (for example adhik maas, Tula month or the days around Venus setting). A muhurat for your wedding is then chosen from the bride’s and groom’s Kundlis, their Moon signs (tarabalam and chandrabalam) and the place, so it can fall on one of these days or rule some of them out.
