According to Sanatan Hindu calendar, Chaturmas (Chaturmas 2026) has started from the holy day of Devshayani Ekadashi. With this, Lord Vishnu has become absorbed in Yoga Nidra for four months and the governance of the universe has come into the hands of Lord Shiva. According to religious beliefs, all types of auspicious functions like marriage, mundan, griha pravesh and new beginnings are completely prohibited during this four month period. In such a situation, the families who wanted to hear the echo of Shehnai in their house this year, will now have to wait a long time till Devuthani Ekadashi i.e. the month of November. The biggest thing is that this year in the month of November, very few i.e. only 4 auspicious times are available for weddings, due to which there is already a competition between marriage gardens and wedding planners for booking.
Why do all auspicious programs stop during Chaturmas?
According to mythology and astrological calculations, the time from Ekadashi date of Shukla Paksha of Ashadha month to Ekadashi (Prabodhini Ekadashi) of Shukla Paksha of Kartik month is called Chaturmas. During this period, the influence of positive energy and auspicious planets is not considered favorable for auspicious works. From North India to South India, special emphasis is given to religious rituals, fasts and fasting during this period, as per the geographical and cultural traditions. This is the reason why this four-month period remains completely quiet for the people involved in the business of Band-Baja, Baraat and Marriage Hall and they start preparing for the next season.
When are the auspicious times for weddings in November 2026?
According to astrologers, only after Lord Vishnu wakes up from four months of Yoga Nidra in November, the process of marriages will start again. But this time in the month of November 2026, only 4 dates have been found to be extremely auspicious and defect-free for marriage. There is a special combination of auspicious ascendant and constellations for getting married on these selected dates. Due to less auspicious time, there is a huge increase in advance booking of hotels, tent houses, catering and wedding decoration during this time. Families whose marriages are scheduled on these dates should start finalizing their preparations from now so that they do not face any kind of trouble at the last moment.
There will be other opportunities for marriage at the end of the year in December.
After November, there will definitely be some more good auspicious times for marriage in the month of December 2026, but experts say that the initial and limited four auspicious times of November are the most in demand. If you or your family are also preparing for marriage this year, then finalize your program on these selected dates only after consulting the experts of Panchang, so that you can avoid any kind of inconvenience in the upcoming busy season and your Manglik festival can be completed with pomp and show.
