Months with Few or No Muhurtham Dates
Traditionally some months are avoided for weddings due to Panchangam constraints — notably July, Aadi (Aug), parts of Sept–Oct. These months are often used for other ceremonies or planning.
Auspicious Time Windows (Nalla Neram)
Typical favorable time blocks on Suba Muhurtham days are:
- Morning: 6:00 AM – 10:30 AM
- Noon window: 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM (selected days)
- Evening: 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM
Exact muhurtham hours depend on the Panchangam and the couple’s birth stars — always confirm the precise lagna and minute-to-minute muhurtham with your priest or astrologer.
Star-Based (Nakshatra) Guidance
Many families prefer certain nakshatras for weddings. Below are commonly favourable stars (consult your priest/astrologer for matches):
- Rohini
- Makam
- Uttiram
- Hastham
- Swathi
- Anusham
- Moolam
- Thiruvonam
- Revathi
(Some stars may be favourable only for specific rasi combinations. Personal horoscope matching is recommended.)
Why Some Months Are Avoided
Cultural and astrological reasons often make certain months unsuitable for weddings:
- Aadi: Considered devotional; major ceremonies are usually avoided.
- Purattasi & Margazhi: Months with specific religious observances; limited dates.
- Shunya Masam: Periods with no auspicious timings according to certain Panchangams.
