Vivah Muhurat 2026-27: Hindu Wedding Dates by Month
The wedding season reopens after Dev Uthani Ekadashi on 20 November 2026 and runs, with two breaks, until Chaturmas begins on 14 July 2027. Below are the shubh vivah dates month by month, the periods when no weddings are held, and what to settle before you book a date.
Why the season starts on Dev Uthani Ekadashi
For the four months of Chaturmas, from Devshayani Ekadashi in Ashadha to Dev Uthani Ekadashi in Kartik, Lord Vishnu is believed to be in yoga nidra, and families postpone weddings, griha pravesh and similar ceremonies. When he 'wakes' on Dev Uthani Ekadashi, which falls on Friday, 20 November 2026, the auspicious season opens again, often marked by Tulsi Vivah, the symbolic wedding of Tulsi and Shaligram.

When there are no wedding dates
- Kharmas (Dhanu): 16 December 2026 to Makar Sankranti on 15 January 2027, while the Sun is in Sagittarius. The last agreed date before it is 12 December.
- Meena Kharmas: roughly mid-March to mid-April 2027, while the Sun is in Pisces. After 14 March, the next agreed date is 18 April.
- Chaturmas: from Devshayani Ekadashi on Wednesday, 14 July 2027, weddings pause again until Dev Uthani Ekadashi in November 2027.
Regional panchangs, especially in Bengal, Odisha, Maharashtra and South India, follow their own rules and may list dates inside these windows or skip dates shown here. If your family follows a regional calendar, treat this list as a starting point.
Before you pick a date: match the kundlis
A muhurat tells you a day is auspicious in general. It does not tell you whether the couple's charts suit each other. In most Hindu families, kundli matching comes first: the 36-point Guna Milan (Ashtakoot) score, followed by checks for Manglik dosha and Nadi dosha. Only once the match is accepted does the pandit narrow the season's dates down to one that also suits the bride's and groom's charts.
Get the Guna Milan score for any two birth details in under a minute with our free Kundli Matching tool. It shows all eight kootas, the total out of 36, and flags Manglik and Nadi dosha.
Choosing the time on the day
- The pheras are usually timed to a lagna (rising sign) window within the muhurat, which your pandit calculates for the venue's city.
- Many families also avoid Rahu Kaal for the main rituals and check the day's Choghadiya for smaller ceremonies like tilak or haldi.
- Check tithi and nakshatra for any date in the daily Panchang.
Frequently Asked Questions
When do Hindu weddings start again in 2026?
Weddings resume after Dev Uthani Ekadashi on 20 November 2026, which ends Chaturmas. The first date that both major panchangs we checked agree on is Saturday, 21 November 2026.
Why are there no wedding dates from mid-December to mid-January?
This is Kharmas, the month when the Sun moves through Sagittarius (Dhanu). It begins with Dhanu Sankranti on 16 December 2026 and ends with Makar Sankranti on 15 January 2027. Most North Indian families avoid weddings and other auspicious ceremonies during this period.
Why do different panchangs give different wedding dates?
Each panchang weighs tithi, nakshatra, yoga and the lagna slightly differently, and regional traditions add their own rules. That is why we list only dates two independent panchangs agree on. Your family pandit may still add or remove a date.
Is a good muhurat enough, or should we also match kundlis?
The muhurat is about the day; kundli matching is about the couple. Traditionally families first check Guna Milan (the 36-point Ashtakoot score) and doshas like Manglik or Nadi, and only then pick a muhurat that also suits both charts.
