Vivah Muhurat October 2026
why none this month, and the next
The wedding day itself: the nakshatra, the tithi and the hours the pandit will ask for.
Vivah Muhurat in October
timed for New DelhiNo day in October 2026 is a shubh day for a wedding. Chaturmas (the four monsoon months, when Vishnu is held to sleep), which ends at Dev Uthani Ekadashi, keeps it closed up to and including 20 November 2026. The Sun’s months of Singh (Leo) and Kanya (Virgo), in which this is not done, run up to and including 17 October 2026. Shukra (Venus) is asta, too close to the Sun to be seen, up to and including 1 November 2026. The next shubh day is Saturday, 21 November 2026, then Tuesday, 24 November 2026 and Wednesday, 25 November 2026. November 2026 has 1 more.
The next shubh days
after OctoberWhat the muhurat is for
and how the day is keptThe wedding muhurat is the time of the phere: the kanyadaan, the father giving the bride’s hand, and the saptapadi, the seven steps round the sacred fire, are held inside it, while the baraat (the groom’s procession), the jaimala (the exchange of garlands) and the reception can run either side. The family pandit usually fixes the exact lagna for the phere within the day’s window.

Vivah Muhurat, month by month
shubh days in each monthOther muhurats in October 2026
shubh days for eachWhat the panchang asks for
Vivah- Rohini, Mrigashira, Magha, Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, Swati, Anuradha, Mula, Uttara Ashadha, Uttara Bhadrapada, Revati
- Any tithi except Amavasya
- Any weekday
These are the rules the standard panchangs apply for this work; they go back to the classical muhurat texts, Muhurta Chintamani above all.
Muhurta Chintamani sorts the 27 nakshatras by nature: fixed (dhruva), for what is meant to last; swift (kshipra), for trade, learning and quick starts; soft (mridu), for gentle things such as friendship and music; movable (chara), for what moves, such as travel; sharp (tikshna), for cutting and severing work; fierce (ugra), for harsh, forceful work. This work takes the fixed ones (Rohini, Uttara Phalguni, Uttara Ashadha, Uttara Bhadrapada), the swift ones (Hasta), the soft ones (Mrigashira, Anuradha, Revati), the movable ones (Swati), the sharp ones (Mula) and the fierce ones (Magha). It avoids the yogas Vishkambha, Atiganda, Shula, Ganda, Vyaghata, Vajra, Vyatipata, Parigha and Vaidhriti and the karanas Chatushpada, Kimstughna, Naga, Shakuni and Vishti.
All the rules for a wedding: the months it is done in, the closed seasons and the hour
