Frequently Asked Questions
Why is muhurat important for marriage?
An auspicious muhurat aligns the ceremony with favourable planetary positions, which is believed in Hindu tradition to bless the couple with a happy and long-lasting marriage.
Which nakshatra is best for marriage?
Rohini and Uttara Phalguni are considered the most auspicious nakshatras for marriage. Mrigashira, Hasta and Uttarashada are also highly favoured.
What is Akha Teej and why is it special?
Akshaya Tritiya (Akha Teej) is a self-proven (swayamsiddha) muhurat — no separate calculation is needed. Any marriage on this day is considered inherently auspicious.
How early should I book the venue after finalising muhurat?
Once a pandit confirms the muhurat, book the venue immediately as popular dates get reserved quickly, especially in the November–February wedding season.
