Marriage Muhurat 2026
Choose a year and city to see the dates that qualify for marriage with their time windows, along with the reason for any day that did not make it. This is not anyone's printed list: every day is checked from the panchang calculation, looking at the month, Chaturmas, Kharmas, the setting (asta) of Jupiter and Venus, nakshatra, tithi, yoga and karana. The rules are written out in full on the page, so you can test them yourself.

Qualifying dates and time windows
The time window is one in which nakshatra, tithi, yoga and karana are all fine and Rahu Kaal does not fall. Have the final date confirmed by your pandit.

Dropped days and why
A day counts as qualifying only if the Hindu month is one of the months for marriage and is not an adhika masa, it is not Chaturmas (from Devshayani to Prabodhini Ekadashi), the Sun is not in Dhanu or Meena (Kharmas), Jupiter and Venus are not set (asta), it is not Holashtak, and between sunrise and sunset there is a window of at least half an hour with a good nakshatra, a suitable tithi, yoga and karana, and no Rahu Kaal. The list of nakshatras and the rules follow the Muhurta Chintamani commentary. We do not check lagna shuddhi. Checked on 2026-10-10.
The rules we apply
An example
The day 2026-05-06 fell in the month of Vaishakha and met all the conditions. Two windows were found that day: 07:52-12:19 and 13:59-15:54. By contrast, 2026-12-20 was dropped, because: Kharmas (Sun in Dhanu). And the reason for 2026-02-12 was: Venus combust.
Limitations
- Lagna shuddhi (such as the 7th house being empty) is not checked. Have the final date confirmed by your family priest.
- Rules in regions such as Gujarat, Maharashtra and South India differ slightly; we apply one clearly written rule set.
- Marriage muhurat lists printed on the internet do not agree with each other, so no single correct list exists; that is why we show our rules in full.
- This information is for guidance and tradition, not a substitute for professional advice.
