Every parent dreams of their children's marriage taking place at an auspicious time, ensuring not only a happy marital life but also b, loving relationships between both families. In Hinduism, marriage is not merely a social bond but a sacrament, one of the sixteen sanskaras. Therefore, conducting the wedding at an auspicious time is considered crucial.
May 2025 offers the highest number of auspicious dates for weddings. If you wish to celebrate a wedding in your family, this month could be particularly special. Fifteen auspicious days are available in May for performing the wedding ceremony. It's essential to know which dates are suitable for marriage and what kind of astrological alignments will occur in the following months.
Why is an Auspicious Time for Marriage Important?
According to Hindu astrology, if a marriage is performed during an auspicious constellation (nakshatra), date (tithi), and ascendant (lagna), the couple's life will be filled with happiness and prosperity. Favorable planetary alignments promote harmony and peace within the family. Conversely, a marriage performed at an inauspicious time can lead to discord, stress, and other problems in the marital life. Therefore, it's crucial to choose a wedding date according to the advice of priests and astrologers.

No Weddings for Four Months After June
While some auspicious wedding dates are available in June after May, there will be no auspicious dates from July to October. This is due to Devshyani Ekadashi, which falls at the end of June this year. From this date, Lord Vishnu enters a four-month yogic sleep, known as Chaturmas. During this period, no auspicious events like weddings, housewarmings, or mundan ceremonies are performed.
After Chaturmas ends, Lord Vishnu awakens on Dev Uthani Ekadashi. Auspicious events like weddings resume thereafter. Fourteen auspicious wedding dates are available in November, and three in December. Those unable to marry in May or June can prepare for November or December.
