Marriage/Vivah Muhurt

The Thakur Prasad Calendar August 2026 significantly emphasizes religious observances—fasts, festivals, panchang details—but does not recommend any marriage muhurat during this month.

• Chaturmas (from Devshayani Ekadashi to Prabodhini Ekadashi) is observed with spiritual discipline, as auspicious ceremonies like marriages are generally avoided.
• Chaturmas, considered one of the holiest periods in the Hindu calendar, is dedicated to austerity, penance, and devotion.
• Marriages and related ceremonies are traditionally postponed during Chaturmas out of respect for cosmic cycles and divine rhythms. This aligns with centuries of practice and cultural belief.
• If you’re planning a marriage in 2026, it’s best to:
• Avoid dates between July–October (Chaturmas).
• Consider scheduling the ceremony before or after this period, such as in November or December 2026, when the calendar notes favorable muhurats.
