Wedding Season and Shubh Vivah Muhurats in 2025 According to Hindu Panchang
In Hindu tradition, weddings (shaadi or vivah) are sacred unions best performed during auspicious muhurats (timings) derived from the Panchang—the lunar-solar calendar that considers nakshatras (lunar mansions), tithis (lunar days), yogas, karanas, and planetary positions. These muhurats ensure harmony, prosperity, and blessings for the couple’s life ahead. The “wedding season” in 2025, when most auspicious dates fall, spans November to February, aligning with cooler weather and festive vibes in India. However, no muhurats are available from July to October due to inauspicious periods like Chaturmas (monsoon and pitru paksha).
Based on the Hindu Panchang, here’s a month-wise list of shubh vivah muhurats for 2025. These are general dates (full days considered auspicious); exact timings vary by location and birth charts—consult a local astrologer for personalized lagna shuddhi. Auspicious nakshatras like Rohini, Magha, Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, and Swati are prioritized.
