How these days were chosen
Each day, from sunrise to the next sunrise, was checked minute by minute for the Sun’s sign, the Moon’s nakshatra, the karana and the yoga by the rules for a wedding, for Venus and Jupiter not being combust, and for the day not being in Chaturmas, an Adhik month or Pitru Paksha; only a stretch of at least 5 minutes counts. These are Drik Panchang’s published rules (after Muhurta Chintamani) and the traditional muhurat rules. The full rules: Vivah muhurat 2026-27
We publish only the days on which our calculation and Drik Panchang’s list agree within 5 minutes at both ends.
