💍Marriage (Vivah)
Marriage Muhurat, September 2026
Nothing in September 2026 is available for a marriage: the month sits entirely inside Chaturmas, so the five limbs of the panchang were never the deciding factor. Which day would otherwise have been the strongest is still worth knowing, because it tells you where to look in the months either side.

The whole of September is inside Chaturmas · 30 days of this month
No day qualifies
September 2026 is shut end to end, so no day was ever in contention. No day comes within a single rule of passing either. April 2026 and December 2026 are the widest of 2026 for this rite, level at 2 days each.
What removed the rest of the month
Marriage is the one occasion every closure applies to, and in most months they take more days than the five limbs do.
- Chaturmas took 30 days of September — the entire month
The nakshatra filter is the other narrow one. The ten vivah nakshatras are ten of the twenty-seven, and they fall on 11 days of September 2026 — 4 Rohini, 5 Mrigashira, 10 Magha, 12 Uttara Phalguni, 13 Hasta, 15 Swati, 17 Anuradha, 21 Uttara Ashadha, 22 Uttara Ashadha, 27 Uttara Bhadrapada, 28 Revati — of which none survives everything else.
Which rule did the excluding
30 days of September were shut by a closure and never examined. Of the 0 that were, none passed everything; 0 missed by a single rule and 0 by two or more, though one of this rite's 10 accepted nakshatras ran on 11 days of it.
| Rule | What it asks for | Days it excluded | On its own |
|---|
Read the last column as a counterfactual. Nothing in September 2026 fails on exactly one rule with everything else in place, so there is no single concession that would widen the shortlist.
Nakshatra supply. 10 of the 27 are accepted for this rite, and they fell on 11 days of September 2026, with Uttara Ashadha coming round twice.
Weekday supply. September 2026 holds 17 days of the right weekday (Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday), 0 of them outside a closure, and not one of those survive the rest of the filter — against 11 days supplied by the 10 nakshatras. Unlike the sky's four limbs, this is the one the calendar fixes.
Every closure applies, and this is where they are strictest. Inside a qualifying day the pheras still need a lagna window calculated from both charts.
Every day of September 2026, and what ruled it out
All 30 days with the verdict and the reason, each linked to its own panchang page: 30 shut before being read, 0 examined against 10 nakshatras, 0 through.

September 2026 against the rest of 2026
September 2026 is 6th of the twelve, level with 6 other months of 2026 for this rite. April 2026 and December 2026 carry the most, 2 each, and 7 months carry none, out of 7 for the year.
The other six occasions in September 2026
Same 30 days, seven different filters: in September they return between 0 and 6 qualifying days, median 4. This rite’s 0 is on the narrow side of that, and the reason is the 10-nakshatra set and the 5 closures it carries.
Questions about September 2026
How many days in September 2026 are good for marriage?
None. September 2026 lies entirely inside Chaturmas, which closes the month for this occasion whatever the day's panchang says.
Is any part of September 2026 closed for auspicious beginnings?
Chaturmas covers the whole of September. Devshayani Ekadashi to Dev Uthani Ekadashi, the four months Vishnu is held to be asleep. Marriages stop across almost every community. Pitru Paksha sits inside it and is avoided in its own right.
Why do other sites list more marriage dates in September 2026?
The closures alone take 30 of this month's 30 days — Chaturmas applies here — and a list assembled without them has 30 more days to draw on than this one does. Of the 0 that were examined, each was checked against all five limbs.
What is Guru or Shukra asta, and why does it matter for a wedding?
A planet is asta — combust — when it comes within a few degrees of the Sun in longitude and is lost in its glare. Jupiter sanctifies the vivah and Venus governs conjugal life, so a pandit declines the days either one is combust however good the tithi and nakshatra are. Shukra asta runs 26 November to 17 February; Guru asta runs 14 July to 13 August; Shukra asta runs 18 October to 30 October in 2026. It is the closure published lists most often miss, and in 2026 it removes more days than Kharmas does.
