Vivaha Panchami: dates, muhurat and meaning.
The next Vivaha Panchami is on Sunday, 13 December 2026. The date is computed from the classical panchang for Delhi (rule: classical festival table — tithi prevailing at local noon). Below are the Vivaha Panchami dates for 2026 and 2027, the day's shubh muhurat windows, and what the festival celebrates.
Vivaha Panchami dates
What is Vivaha Panchami?
The Ramayana's wedding — the breaking of Shiva's bow, the processions between the two kingdoms — is restaged every year, with Janakpur in Nepal as the bride's city and Ayodhya the groom's.
Because it commemorates the divine marriage, Vivaha Panchami is traditionally sought as a wedding date — subject to the full muhurat screening of tithi, nakshatra and the couple's charts.
Muhurat on Vivaha Panchami
A natural wedding date — but not an automatic one: the classics still require the day's nakshatra, yoga and the couple's Tara Bala to clear. Check the year's vivah muhurat list for the ranked dates.
