Marriage in Sanatan Dharma is not merely a social contract. It is Vivah Sanskar, one of the sacred Shodasha Samskaras (16 life rituals) described in the Grihya Sutras. It marks the transition into Grihastha Ashrama, the foundation upon which Dharma, Artha, Kama, and Moksha are sustained.
According to Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra and Muhurat Chintamani, the timing of marriage determines the energetic blueprint of the union. A well-chosen Vivah Muhurat harmonises planetary frequencies, strengthens marital stability, enhances prosperity, and safeguards emotional compatibility.
In Vedic thought, time is not linear — it is conscious. Every Tithi, Nakshatra, and Paksha carries a distinct vibration. Choosing a wedding date aligned with these cosmic currents ensures that two destinies merge under celestial blessing rather than karmic friction.
Here is the complete, month-wise Shubh Vivah Muhurat 2026–27, carefully aligned with Sanatan Panchang principles.
What Makes a Wedding Muhurat Auspicious?
Before diving into the dates, it's essential to understand what actually makes a Muhurat powerful.
1. Tithi (Lunar Day)
Certain Tithis like Tritiya, Panchami, Saptami, Dashami, Ekadashi, Dwadashi, and Trayodashi are traditionally considered favourable for Vivah. They represent growth, harmony, and stability.
2. Nakshatra (Lunar Constellation)
Nakshatras like Rohini, Magha, Uttara Phalguni, Revati, Anuradha, Mrigashira, and Uttara Bhadrapada are celebrated in scriptures for supporting marital harmony and prosperity.
3. Shukla vs Krishna Paksha
Shukla Paksha (waxing moon) symbolises expansion and growth, making it highly preferred for weddings. However, certain Krishna Paksha combinations are also acceptable if supported by strong Nakshatras.
4. Role of Guru and Shukra
Jupiter (Guru) governs Dharma and expansion; Venus (Shukra) governs marriage and romance. When these grahas are not combust or retrograde in harmful ways, marriage muhurats become more favourable.
5. Why Pitra Paksha Is Avoided
During Pitra Paksha, energies are directed toward ancestral offerings (Shraddha). As per Dharmashastra tradition, auspicious celebrations like marriage are paused during this period. Hence, October 2026 has no Vivah Muhurat.

- Mandap direction is misaligned.
- Agni is placed incorrectly.
- Entry orientation clashes with Vastu.
- Wedding flow disrupts ritual sequencing.
Time alignment must be supported by spatial alignment.
