Wedding Muhurat 2026: Auspicious Dates from April Through December
As the inauspicious period of Kharmas draws to a close on April 14, 2026, the season of celebration is set to return with full force. In Hindu tradition, Kharmas is considered an unfavorable time for conducting sacred ceremonies like weddings, housewarmings, and mundans (tonsure rituals). This period begins when the Sun enters the sign of Pisces and ends when it moves into Aries. Once the Sun shifts into Mesha Rashi (Aries), the restrictions lift, and the melodic sound of shehnais once again fills homes across the community. If you are planning a wedding or any auspicious event in the coming months, here is a complete guide to the most favorable dates from April through December 2026.
