Most Auspicious Nakshatras for Marriage
The best nakshatras for a Hindu wedding are: Rohini (most auspicious of all), Mrigashira, Uttaraphalguni, Hasta, Swati, Anuradha, Uttarashadha, Uttarabhadra, and Revati.
Best Tithis (Lunar Days) for Weddings
Auspicious tithis: 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 10th, 11th, 12th, and 13th of each lunar fortnight. Best weekdays: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Avoid Rahu Kaal timings on any day.
Months to Avoid in 2026
Chaturmas (July–October 2026) is the four-month period when Vishnu is believed to sleep — traditionally avoided for weddings across North and South India. Kharmas (when the Sun transits Sagittarius/Pisces) is also avoided in many regions.
State-Wise Wedding Season Notes
The peak wedding season differs slightly by region: North India (UP, MP, Rajasthan) follows Vivah Panchami and avoids Kharmas strictly. South India (Karnataka, Andhra, Telangana) follows regional almanacs (Panchangam) and may use slightly different date lists. Maharashtra uses the same Chaturmas restrictions but with regional nakshatras.
Always Check Kundali Compatibility First
Before finalizing any wedding date, Kundali matching is essential. A beautiful muhurat on an incompatible date can be undermined by poor guna milan or an unresolved Nadi Dosha.
