Marriage Muhurat November and December 2026: 10 Dates Computed, 51 Days Rejected
Published 27 August 2026 · Last updated 27 August 2026
The 2026-27 wedding season opens in the third week of November. All 61 days of November and December 2026 were run against six classical vivah filters. Ten days cleared every filter and 51 were removed, each with the rule that removed it. The season's first computed date is Friday 20 November.
Every published list for the winter season answers the same question and almost none of them show the working. This page publishes the ten dates alongside the arithmetic, computed at a 06:00 IST reference hour on the Swiss Ephemeris under the True Pushya Paksha ayanamsa, so any date can be checked against the rule that admitted it and any missing date against the rule that removed it.

Why the season starts on 20 November
The four month chaturmas pause suspends marriages from roughly July to mid November, and its release is where published lists quietly disagree. The strict tithi convention releases the season at Devuthani Ekadashi, the eleventh lunar day of the bright half of Kartika, which the ephemeris places on 21 November 2026 at the morning reference hour. The solar convention releases it when the Sun leaves Libra, which happens days earlier. Our filter runs the derived rule and admits Friday 20 November, when the Moon stands in Uttara Bhadrapada with the Sun already in sidereal Scorpio. A family following the strict Ekadashi convention would start one day later, and both readings are stated here rather than silently averaged.
Why November has only two dates
The month loses its first three weeks to chaturmas, then loses further days to rikta tithis and non vivah nakshatras. What survives is the 20 to 26 November band, from which the filters admit 20, 21, 25 and 26 November. December runs cleaner: six dates spread across the first two weeks, ending 12 December. The back half of December empties as the Sun approaches sidereal Sagittarius, where kharmas suspends marriages again from mid December to mid January. That is why every honest list for this season is short, and why lists that run deep into late December are including days the tradition itself removes.
What this list does not do
A muhurat is personal. The same date reads differently against two birth charts, and the couple's dashas, seventh lords and Moon positions all change which of these ten days is the right one. This table is the calendar layer only, which is exactly what every competing page publishes without saying so. The per chart layer is Kaal Match, which reads two charts against each other, and Kaal Imprint, which reads one.
Method
Six filters in order: vivah nakshatra membership, rikta tithi and amavasya removal, malmas on the solar month, chaturmas derived from tithi and solar month rather than hand entered, Jupiter and Venus combustion at classical orbs of 11 and 9 degrees, and weekday grading. Positions come from the Swiss Ephemeris at 06:00 IST under the True Pushya Paksha ayanamsa by PVRN Rao. The same generator produced the 2027 calendar, where the filters are documented in full.
Questions
How many marriage muhurat dates are there in November and December 2026?
Ten. Tempora computed all 61 days of November and December 2026 against six classical vivah filters and ten days cleared every one: 20, 21, 25 and 26 November and 1, 3, 4, 6, 10 and 12 December. The other 51 days each carry at least one stated reason for removal.
When does the 2026-27 wedding season start?
The computed calendar opens Friday 20 November 2026, with the Sun already in sidereal Scorpio. Families following the strict Devuthani Ekadashi convention would begin 21 November, which the ephemeris places at the morning reference hour. Both conventions are stated on this page.
Why are there no marriage dates in late December 2026?
The Sun approaches sidereal Sagittarius in mid December, which begins kharmas, the solar month in which the tradition suspends marriages. The last computed date of 2026 is 12 December.
Are these dates personalised?
No. This is the calendar layer, computed identically for everyone. Which of the ten dates suits a particular couple depends on both birth charts, which is what Kaal Match computes.
