The 4-month Chaturmasya period (July 4 – October 31) is traditionally avoided as Vishnu enters cosmic sleep.

Frequently Asked Questions

When are the best marriage dates in 2026?

The two peak periods for Hindu marriage in 2026 are January-June (especially around Akshaya Tritiya on April 29) and November-December (after Devuthani Ekadashi). Avoid the Chaturmasya period from July 4 to October 31.

Why are no marriages during Chaturmasya?

Chaturmasya is the 4-month period when Lord Vishnu enters cosmic sleep (yoga-nidra) from Devshayani Ekadashi (July 4, 2026) to Devuthani Ekadashi (October 31, 2026). Traditional Hindu families do not perform marriages during this period.

Which nakshatra is best for marriage?

The most auspicious nakshatras for Hindu marriage are: Rohini, Mrigashira, Magha, Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, Swati, Anuradha, Mula, Uttara Ashadha, Uttara Bhadrapada, Revati, and Pushya. Krittika and Punarvasu are also acceptable. Avoid Bharani, Ashlesha, Magha (some traditions), and Jyeshtha.

What is Akshaya Tritiya 2026?

Akshaya Tritiya 2026 falls on April 29 — the third tithi of Vaishakha Shukla Paksha. It is considered the most auspicious day of the year for ALL kinds of new beginnings — marriage, business, gold purchase, property registration, home entry. No further muhurtam check is needed if marrying on this day.

How is Vivah Muhurtam calculated?

Hindu Vivah Muhurtam requires alignment of: (1) auspicious tithi (avoid 4th, 9th, 14th, Amavasya), (2) auspicious nakshatra (one of the 12 marriage-friendly stars), (3) auspicious lagna (rising sign — Vrishabha, Mithuna, Kanya, Tula are preferred), (4) day of week (Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday — avoid Tuesday and Saturday), (5) no eclipse, no doshas. Cross-reference with both bride and groom's charts.
