Formula & methodology

Formula: Vivah screening = favourable tithi + favourable nakshatra + clean window (no Rahu Kaal/Bhadra); final lagna fixed by election

  1. Enter the candidate wedding date and city.
  2. The calculator computes the tithi and nakshatra at sunrise — compare them with the favoured lists.
  3. Abhijit Muhurat and Rahu Kaal are computed for the day’s clock windows.
  4. Shortlist dates that pass, then have a priest fix the exact lagna hour.

Worked example — 10 Jun 2026, Delhi: nakshatra Uttara Bhadrapada is in the classical vivah list; tithi Krishna Dashami is the 10th — acceptable; Abhijit 11:57–12:45 with Rahu Kaal 12:21–14:05 — so morning functions clear, and the priest would set the actual phere lagna for the evening after detailed checks.

Frequently asked questions

How is a wedding date traditionally chosen?
In layers: a favourable lunar month, then a favourable tithi and one of the ~11 vivah nakshatras, then freedom from blackout periods (Chaturmas, Kharmas, eclipses, Bhadra), and finally lagna-shuddhi — electing the exact hour whose rising sign and houses bless the couple. This tool automates the date-level layers.
What are the marriage seasons and blackout periods?
Weddings cluster outside Chaturmas (the four months from Devshayani to Prabodhini Ekadashi, ~July–November) and outside Kharmas/Dhanurmas (Sun in Sagittarius, mid-Dec–mid-Jan, and in Pisces, mid-Mar–mid-Apr in some regions). Eclipse days and Holashtak are also skipped.
Which nakshatras are best for vivah?
The classical set: Rohini, Mrigashira, Magha (later padas), Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, Swati, Anuradha, Mula, Uttara Ashadha, Uttara Bhadrapada and Revati. Regional almanacs trim or extend slightly; the date’s star shown above lets you check instantly.
Why do priests still fix the exact hour separately?
Because the wedding lagna — the ascendant at the phere moment — must itself be strong: benefics in kendras, 7th house clean, Moon well placed for the bride. That is an election within the day and depends on the venue’s coordinates; it cannot be pre-printed in a calendar.
Both families’ panchangs disagree on a date — what now?
Usually a regional-convention difference (purnimanta vs amanta months, or a tithi spanning two sunrises). List each side’s acceptable dates, intersect them, and let the officiating priest resolve edge days — the astronomy (shown by this tool) is identical; only the conventions differ.
