Vivah Muhurat 2026: auspicious wedding dates and times
A Hindu wedding is traditionally fixed in a muhurat: a gentle or fixed nakshatra, a suitable tithi, and a season when Jupiter and Venus are visible, outside Kharmas and Chaturmas. These are all the days of 2026 that pass those rules, with the start and end time of each muhurat for New Delhi.
Times for New Delhi (IST)
Every time on this page is India Standard Time for New Delhi. Sunrise, sunset and Rahu Kaal differ from city to city, so open the Muhurat finder and choose Marriage (Vivah) to get these windows for your own city.

Why is a date I had in mind not listed?
A day is listed only when at least 30 minutes of it pass every rule: a suitable nakshatra, tithi and weekday, outside Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Bhadra and the inauspicious yogas. Hours: the whole day, from sunrise through the night to the next sunrise. No Gandanta: the first quarter of Ashwini, Magha and Mula and the last quarter of Ashlesha, Jyeshtha and Revati. No Kharmas. Not while the Sun is in Cancer, Leo or Virgo. No Chaturmas. No Holashtak. No Adhik maas. Jupiter and Venus must be visible, and not within 3 days of setting or rising. A season that touches any part of a day rules out the whole day. Whole periods are also left out by tradition.

Months of 2026 with no date: January, August, September and October.
Which nakshatras, tithis and weekdays does a wedding muhurat need?
Fixed and gentle stars with Jupiter and Venus visible, outside Kharmas, Chaturmas, Holashtak and the months when the Sun is in Cancer, Leo or Virgo. Nakshatras: Rohini, Mrigashira, Magha, Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, Swati, Anuradha, Mula, Uttara Ashadha, Uttara Bhadrapada and Revati. Tithis: every tithi except Shukla Pratipada, Krishna Chaturdashi and Amavasya. Weekdays: any day of the week. Hours: the whole day, from sunrise through the night to the next sunrise.
Are these muhurat times right for my city?
They are worked out for New Delhi, in India Standard Time. Sunrise, sunset and Rahu Kaal change from city to city, and the Panchang day begins at local sunrise, so in another city the windows shift and a date near the edge can change. The Muhurat finder works them out for any city.
Is a date from this list enough to fix the wedding?
These dates follow the classical rules used by the Muhurat finder. For a wedding, a family priest also checks the couple’s charts, including Guna Milan and Manglik dosha, and the lagna at the chosen hour, and regional customs differ, so take this list to that conversation as a starting point.
