Muhurata for Marriage

Marriage Muhurat 2026 — Auspicious Wedding Dates & Timing

Choosing the right marriage muhurat is one of the most important steps toward a happy, harmonious married life. In Vedic tradition, a shubh vivah muhurat — the auspicious date and time for solemnizing a marriage — is believed to bless the couple with well-being, prosperity, and lasting peace. AstroKapoor's personalized Muhurat for Marriage report gives you 6 auspicious wedding dates, calculated precisely from your birth chart by astrologer Mr. Prashant Kapoor.

Rather than a generic calendar, this is a wedding muhurat by date of birth — every date is chosen using exact degree calculations of the planets and the latitude and longitude of your birthplace, so the timing is truly aligned to your kundli.

What Is a Marriage Muhurat?

A marriage muhurat is an auspicious window of time selected using the Panchang — the Vedic almanac — to ensure the wedding takes place under supportive planetary conditions. The muhurat is determined by weighing five core elements (tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana, and lagna) alongside the strength of Jupiter and Venus, the natural significators of marriage. A well-chosen shubh muhurat is traditionally considered a key foundation for a peaceful, prosperous married life.

Shubh Vivah Dates 2026

Below are the auspicious marriage dates for 2026, based on the Hindu calendar. (Populate this table with verified panchang dates and update it each year — this is what captures seasonal "shubh vivah dates 2026 / 2027" searches.)

Note: Some months have no marriage muhurat at all — for example during Chaturmas/Harishayana (11th of Ashada Shukla Paksha to 11th of Kartik Shukla Paksha) and Kharmaas (when the Sun transits Sagittarius and Pisces). A personalized report identifies exactly which dates work for your chart.

How Marriage Muhurat Is Calculated

Selecting an auspicious wedding date depends on several interlocking factors from the Panchang, refined by your personal chart:

The five Panchang elements

• Tithi: favourable tithis include Dwitiya, Tritiya, Panchami, Saptami, Ekadashi, and Trayodashi (in Shukla Paksha).
• Nakshatra: auspicious nakshatras for marriage include Uttara Phalguni, Uttara Ashadha, Uttara Bhadrapada, Rohini, Mrigashira, Revati, Anuradha, Moola, Swati, Magha, and Hasta — signifying growth, harmony, and fertility. Rohini, ruled by Prajapati Brahma, is regarded as most fortunate.
• Yoga: benefic yogas such as Priti, Ayushman, Saubhagya, Shobhan, Sukarma, Dhriti, Vriddhi, Variyaan, Shiva, Siddha, Sadhya, Shubha, Shukla, Brahma, and Indra support marriage. Nine yogas (Vishkumbha, Atigand, Shool, Gand, Vyaghata, Vajra, Vyatipata, Parigha, and Vaidhriti) are traditionally considered inauspicious and are avoided for wedding ceremonies.
• Karana: karanas such as Shakuni, Chatushpad, Naga, Kintughna, Bhadra (Visti), and sometimes Bava are avoided.
• Vaar (Day): Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday are generally favoured for marriage.

Strength of Jupiter and Venus A key rule: Jupiter and Venus should not be combust. By convention, dates within 3 days before and after combustion are also avoided, as these planets are the primary significators of marriage.

Deeper Factors We Check

Beyond the five basics, Mr. Kapoor's analysis applies the classical purity checks that distinguish an expert muhurat from a generic one:

• Lagna (Ascendant) Shuddhi: the Lagna must be strong, free of Papa Kartari and malefic affliction; the Lagna lord should avoid the 6th and 8th houses; the 8th house should be vacant; benefics in Kendra and Trikona.
• Chandra Shuddhi: the Moon should not occupy the 4th, 8th, or 12th from the natal Moon rashi.
• Tara Shuddhi: the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th Taras from the native's birth Tara are avoided.
• Tribhala / Tribal Shuddhi: Sun purity for the groom, Jupiter purity for the bride, Moon purity for both.
• Doshas and combinations to avoid: Rikta Tithi, Amavasya, Kharmaas, Harishayana, Dus Tyajya Dosha, Holashtak, Sankranti, Dwipushkar & Tripushkar Yoga, Vish Yoga, and Vyatipata/Vaidhriti timing rules.

Advanced Timing — Transit & Ashtakavarga

For couples wanting to also understand when marriage is likely, Mr. Kapoor examines the Dasha–Antardasha–Pratyantar periods of the 7th, 2nd, and 12th houses, along with the transits of Jupiter, Saturn, and Mars. Ashtakavarga analysis further pinpoints timing — when Jupiter transits the nakshatra or rashi carrying the highest Ashtakavarga points, marriage becomes especially favourable.
