In Sanatan Dharma and Vedic Astrology, it is considered mandatory to assess the position of the planets and the auspicious time (Muhurta) before performing any auspicious work, especially the marriage ceremony. According to the Hindu calendar, at present there is a complete ban on weddings and auspicious functions.
The rising of Jupiter, the guru of the gods, is most important for the success of any auspicious work. According to astrological beliefs, when the planet Jupiter sets, the auspicious results of rituals like marriage, housewarming, mundan, yagyopaveet and naming are not achieved. According to Drik Panchang, Jupiter has set at 07:59 pm on July 15, 2026, which will now rise again on August 12, 2026 at 05:03 am.
However, even after the rise of Jupiter in August, the wedding season will not start immediately, because Chaturmas is going to start during this time. Let us know what is the mythological mathematics behind this and what are the auspicious times for marriage available in the last months of the year 2026:
Why won’t marriages take place in Chaturmas? (Devshayani Ekadashi Rule)
Every year Chaturmas starts from Devshayani Ekadashi of Shukla Paksha of Ashadha month, which ends on Devuthani Ekadashi of Shukla Paksha of Kartik month.
-
Yoganidra of Lord Vishnu: this year Chaturmas is starting from 25th July 2026. According to religious beliefs, during these four months, Lord Shri Hari Vishnu, the sustainer of the universe, goes into Yoga Nidra in Kshir Sagar. This is called the sleeping period of the gods.
-
Why ban on auspicious works?: Due to the deities being in sleep, any auspicious work done during this period does not receive divine blessings, due to which their results become fruitless.
-
Sadhana time: This time of Chaturmas is considered best for spiritual progress, bathing, charity, story-listening, fasting, chanting and penance instead of material pleasures or celebrations.
Wedding season will start again from November 20 (Devutthana Ekadashi)
According to Drik Panchang, this year in the month of Kartik Devuthani Ekadashi 20 November 2026 Will be celebrated.
-
Awakening of the Gods: On this auspicious date, Lord Vishnu will awaken from four months long Yoga Nidra and will again take charge of the world.
-
Echo of clarinets: Since Devuthani Ekadashi is also considered as ‘Abujh Muhurat’, marriages and all other stalled auspicious functions will resume with full grandeur across the country from 20th November 2026 itself. That means, to hear the echo of Shehnai, we will have to wait for the month of November.
