These are on Drik Panchang, New Delhi, Panchang Shuddhi marriage calendar (read 2026-11-03) but our rules skip them. They may be fine for your family: ask your pandit which calendar to follow.
| Date | Why we skipped it |
|---|---|
| 24 Nov Tuesday | the tithi is Krishna Pratipada, which our rules leave out (while the Moon is in Rohini). Drik Panchang's list does not apply a tithi rule |
| 27 Jan Wednesday | the tithi is Krishna Shashthi, which our rules leave out (while the Moon is in Hasta). Drik Panchang's list does not apply a tithi rule |
| 9 Feb Tuesday | the tithi is Shukla Chaturthi, which our rules leave out (while the Moon is in Uttara Bhadrapada). Drik Panchang's list does not apply a tithi rule |
| 14 Feb Sunday | the tithi is Shukla Navami, which our rules leave out (while the Moon is in Rohini). Drik Panchang's list does not apply a tithi rule |
| 15 Feb Monday | the tithi is Shukla Navami, which our rules leave out (while the Moon is in Rohini). Drik Panchang's list does not apply a tithi rule |
| 21 Feb Sunday | the tithi is Krishna Pratipada, which our rules leave out (while the Moon is in Magha). Drik Panchang's list does not apply a tithi rule |
| 26 Feb Friday | the tithi is Krishna Shashthi, which our rules leave out (while the Moon is in Swati). Drik Panchang's list does not apply a tithi rule |
| 27 Feb Saturday | the yoga is Vyaghata, one of nine the texts avoid (while the Moon is in Anuradha) |
| 28 Feb Sunday | the tithi is Krishna Ashtami, which our rules leave out (while the Moon is in Anuradha). Drik Panchang's list does not apply a tithi rule |
No dates from 13 Dec to 14 Jan (33 days). Dates resume on Friday, 15 January 2027. 13 Dec to 15 Dec have no wedding Moon star in the allowed tithis. Then Kharmas: the Sun is in Dhanu from 16 Dec (10:25 AM IST) until Makar Sankranti is observed, so traditional weddings pause until 15 Jan. Kharmas explained
The first date · Dev Uthani ke baad
Dev Uthani (Prabodhini) Ekadashi is on Friday, 20 November 2026 in New Delhi, and weddings are traditionally held only after it. That is why the list starts on Saturday, 21 November 2026, not on the Ekadashi itself.
The rules we used (Navagraha Panchang rules v2) and why
A time is a wedding window only when all of these are true at once:
- Moon star (nakshatra) is one of the 11 classical wedding stars: Rohini, Mrigashira, Magha, Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, Swati, Anuradha, Moola, Uttara Ashadha, Uttara Bhadrapada, Revati. (Muhurta Chintamani, vivaha chapter, and B.V. Raman's Muhurtha, which follows it. Drik Panchang also uses 11 stars.)
- Tithi (either fortnight) is Dwitiya, Tritiya, Panchami, Saptami, Dashami, Ekadashi, Dwadashi or Trayodashi. Left out: the three Rikta tithis (Chaturthi, Navami, Chaturdashi), Amavasya, Purnima, Ashtami, Shashthi and Pratipada. Our choices: almanacs that cite Muhurta Chintamani list Dashami and Dwadashi, so we keep them; sources disagree on Krishna Pratipada and on Shashthi, so we leave them out and show such days as “also listed by other calendars” where another calendar has them. Drik Panchang's Panchang Shuddhi list applies no tithi rule at all, which is the biggest reason our lists differ.
- Not Chaturmas: no weddings before the day after Dev Uthani (Prabodhini) Ekadashi.
- Not Kharmas: the Sun is not in Dhanu or Meena (from the sunrise of the Sun's entry day until the sunrise of the day Sankranti is observed; India dates). Muhurta Chintamani and Dharma Sindhu, as quoted by Drik Panchang, allow marriage only in the other solar months.
- Guru and Shukra not combust (asta): Jupiter more than 11° and Venus more than 10° (8° when retrograde) from the Sun.
- Yoga is none of the nine inauspicious yogas: Vishkumbha, Atiganda, Shoola, Ganda, Vyaghata, Vajra, Vyatipata, Parigha, Vaidhriti. (Drik Panchang names the first five as examples.)
- Karana is not Vishti (Bhadra), Shakuni, Chatushpada or Nagava. All sources agree that Vishti is avoided for a wedding.
Days and times: a panchang day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise, so a window after midnight and before sunrise belongs to the day before and says “(next day)”. Windows shorter than 5 minutes are dropped. All positions use the sidereal zodiac with the Lahiri ayanamsa.
What we do not compute, and so do not apply: the wedding lagna (rising sign), Rahu Kaal as an exclusion (we show it beside each date), the couple's own Moon-strength checks (chandra-bala, tara-bala) and regional customs such as avoiding Tuesdays. How we calculate.
How our list compares with other calendars · Doosre panchang se farak
Different calendars use different rules. For New Delhi, Drik Panchang, New Delhi, Panchang Shuddhi marriage calendar lists 33 dates for November 2026 to February 2027. Our list has 26. 24 dates are on both lists (the “widely listed” ones), 9 are only on theirs and 2 only on ours. The important dates agree: both start on 21 November, both stop on the same days around Kharmas and both resume on 15 January.
Every date where the two lists differ
| Date | Difference | Why, by our rules |
|---|---|---|
| 14 Feb | Drik lists it, we do not | the tithi is Shukla Navami, which our rules leave out (while the Moon is in Rohini). Drik Panchang's list does not apply a tithi rule |
| 15 Feb | Drik lists it, we do not | the tithi is Shukla Navami, which our rules leave out (while the Moon is in Rohini). Drik Panchang's list does not apply a tithi rule |
| 21 Feb | Drik lists it, we do not | the tithi is Krishna Pratipada, which our rules leave out (while the Moon is in Magha). Drik Panchang's list does not apply a tithi rule |
| 23 Jan | We list it, Drik does not | 4:53 AM (next day) – 9:30 PM (next day) (Magha; Krishna Dwitiya, Krishna Tritiya). Likely a rule we do not apply, or a different tithi list. |
| 24 Nov | Drik lists it, we do not | the tithi is Krishna Pratipada, which our rules leave out (while the Moon is in Rohini). Drik Panchang's list does not apply a tithi rule |
| 26 Feb | Drik lists it, we do not | the tithi is Krishna Shashthi, which our rules leave out (while the Moon is in Swati). Drik Panchang's list does not apply a tithi rule |
| 27 Feb | Drik lists it, we do not | the yoga is Vyaghata, one of nine the texts avoid (while the Moon is in Anuradha) |
| 27 Jan | Drik lists it, we do not | the tithi is Krishna Shashthi, which our rules leave out (while the Moon is in Hasta). Drik Panchang's list does not apply a tithi rule |
| 28 Feb | Drik lists it, we do not | the tithi is Krishna Ashtami, which our rules leave out (while the Moon is in Anuradha). Drik Panchang's list does not apply a tithi rule |
| 30 Nov | We list it, Drik does not | 12:55 PM – 2:27 PM (Magha; Krishna Saptami). Likely a rule we do not apply, or a different tithi list. |
| 9 Feb | Drik lists it, we do not | the tithi is Shukla Chaturthi, which our rules leave out (while the Moon is in Uttara Bhadrapada). Drik Panchang's list does not apply a tithi rule |
Where Drik lists a date we skip, the reason shown is the rule on our side that blocked it. Most gaps come from tithi: Drik Panchang's Panchang Shuddhi list applies no tithi rule, while we leave out the Rikta tithis, Ashtami, Shashthi and Pratipada. A few come from yoga, and from windows near sunrise. Neither calendar is wrong: they are different selection methods, and other sites (for example ones that also drop Tuesdays) differ again. Ask your pandit which calendar your family follows.
Before you book · Booking se pehle
- Check the match first: free kundli matching (the 36-point score, the Manglik check, plain words) and what the guna score means.
- See when your own chart supports marriage: marriage timing calculator.
- Pick the city where the wedding will happen, not where you live now.
These are traditional panchang-based dates for a general shortlist, not a personal muhurat. Your family pandit will confirm the exact lagna and time for your own charts, family custom and venue. Calendars differ, so confirm before booking.
