Auspicious timing guide
Vivah Muhurat (marriage muhurta) is the auspicious time selected for a Hindu wedding ceremony. Marriage is one of the 16 Samskaras (sacred rites of passage) and choosing the right muhurta is considered essential for a prosperous and harmonious married life. Key factors include the couple's birth charts, the day of the week, the lunar tithi, the nakshatra, and the absence of inauspicious yogas.

Vivah Muhurat is the auspicious date and time selected for a Hindu marriage ceremony. It is determined by analysing the Panchanga (five elements of the almanac: tithi, vara, nakshatra, yoga, karana) and the birth charts of the bride and groom.
Rohini is considered the most auspicious nakshatra for marriage in Vedic astrology. Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, Anuradha, Mrigashira, Swati, Uttara Ashadha, Uttara Bhadrapada, and Revati are also considered auspicious.
Margashirsha (November–December), Magha (January–February), Phalguna (February–March), Vaishakha (April–May), and Jyeshtha (May–June) are traditionally considered auspicious months for marriage in North India. South Indian traditions may vary.
No. Amavasya (new moon) is strictly avoided for Hindu marriages as it is considered inauspicious. Ekadashi, Chaturdashi, and Ashtami should also be avoided as per most traditions.
