Frequently asked questions

How many shubh marriage muhurat dates are there in May 2026?

May 2026 has 12 universally auspicious dates for the wedding, computed for Delhi (IST). Each survives the full classical screen — Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika, Durmuhurtam, bad Panchaka, nakshatra suitability, rikta tithi and harsh yoga — and shows its exact per-rule breakdown above.

Which is the best Vivah muhurat in May 2026?

7 May 2026 (Thursday) leads the month with a score of 89/100: Amrit choghadiya, 6:58 PM – 8:18 PM IST, Shashthi tithi and Uttara Ashadha nakshatra. The list above is ranked by this score; anything 70 or higher is classically strong.

Are these May 2026 timings valid in my city?

They are computed for Delhi (IST, 28.61°N 77.21°E) as a national reference. Muhurat windows depend on local sunrise, so they shift by several minutes across India and more abroad. Use the date confidently; for the exact window in your city, check Bela's city panchang or the app, which recomputes for your precise location.

Do these May dates account for my personal horoscope?

No — and no honest generic list can. These dates clear the universal (panchang-shuddhi) rules only. Tara Bala and Chandra Bala, which judge the day's Moon against your own birth star, can only be checked against your chart. The Bela app applies both to every window for your whole family.

These dates clear the universal rules.

Tara Bala and Chandra Bala — the day's Moon against your own birth star — need your chart. The Bela app applies both to every window for your whole family.
