Clear, classical guides to kundali matching, doshas, and the Ashta Koota system — written for Indian families.
Every calculator says it checks all three charts and none explains what to do when only one flags Mars. A three-column worked example, the priority order astrologers actually use, the North Indian 2nd-house versus South Indian 1st-house split, and why the Moon check is the right fallback when the birth time is unknown.
Mars in the fourth house makes you Manglik, but at 80% strength — not the 100% of the 7th and 8th. Here is the house-strength table, what a fourth-house Mars actually aspects, how the Lagna, Moon and Venus readings differ, and the four cancellations that switch the dosha off completely.
Every March 2027 wedding date falls in the first fortnight, then Holashtak and Meena Sankranti close the calendar until mid-April. The four panchangs we checked list seven, seven, six and three dates, and only 10 March appears in all of them. Full table with Delhi muhurat windows, plus the 11 March dispute and the Maha Shivratri date correction.
February 2027 has no Kharmas, no Holashtak and no combust Venus or Jupiter, so the panchang engines publish thirteen wedding dates. The stricter classical list gives five. Here is the full table with tithi, nakshatra and Delhi muhurat windows, the rikta-tithi and Tuesday rules that explain the gap, and the truth about Valentine’s Day and the 21 February eclipse.
Kharmas ends and the season restarts on Friday 15 January 2027. The panchang engines publish nine dates; the classical list gives five. Every candidate here carries its tithi, nakshatra, Delhi muhurat window and a consensus label — plus the three rules that explain why the counts differ: the Tuesday convention, rikta tithis and window length.
Kharmas begins at Dhanu Sankranti, 10:29 AM IST on 16 December 2026, and lifts when Makar Sankranti is observed on Friday 15 January 2027 — the Sun’s actual entry into Makara is 09:14 PM on 14 January. Thirty days with no vivah muhurat, the last dates before and the first dates after, and an honest account of what Dhanurmasa and Margazhi still permit.
December 2026 gives you eleven working days. Seven dates carry a published muhurat — 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 11 and 12 December — and the classical list adds a disputed 10th. Dhanu Sankranti at 10:29 AM IST on 16 December ends the season until 15 January 2027. Every date here is tiered by how many sources back it, with DrikPanchang as the tiebreaker.
Tulsi Vivah 2026 is on Saturday 21 November (Kartik Shukla Dwadashi), with Maharashtra and some regions observing it through Kartik Purnima on 24 November. Both dates, the Pradosh-kaal timing and the link to the human wedding calendar.
The Ekadashi tithi runs 07:15 AM on 20 November to 06:31 AM on 21 November 2026 and never touches a sunrise, which is why calendars split between the two days. Here are the Delhi tithi and parana timings, the Chaturmas dates, and the first four vivah muhurats of the season.
Chaturmas ends on 20 November 2026 and only four wedding dates follow: 21, 24, 25 and 26 November. Every date here carries its tithi, nakshatra, Delhi muhurat window and a plain note on which panchangs back it — with DrikPanchang as the tiebreaker.
