The Perfect Time for Wedding Bells: Marriage Muhurat 2026

Your wedding is more than just a date — it’s the beginning of a sacred journey. In Hindu tradition, selecting a Shubh Vivah Muhurat ensures that your marriage starts under auspicious planetary alignments, blessing your union with love, prosperity, and lifelong harmony.

Here’s a month-by-month guide to the most auspicious wedding dates in 2026, so you can choose the perfect time to tie the knot.

Why Marriage Muhurat Matters

Marriage muhurats are determined by carefully studying Tithi (lunar day), Nakshatra (lunar constellation), Yoga, and planetary positions. These favorable windows are believed to attract divine blessings, reduce obstacles, and ensure a harmonious marital journey.
