Best Time to Perform
Auspicious wedding muhurat calculated by pandit
Why that vara
A wedding takes a calculated muhurta rather than a fixed day, and it is the strictest muhurta in ordinary use: all five limbs of the panchang have to agree, and the position of both Venus and Jupiter is checked as well. There are also months in which weddings are not held at all, which is why the season matters as much as the day.
Not begun in Rahu Kaal, and a full muhurat for your date and city has to satisfy the nakshatra, yoga and karana too.
The Graha Behind Vivah Puja (Wedding Ceremony)
Graha
Venus (Shukra, शुक्र)
Vara
Friday
Deity
Lakshmi, invoked through the Shri Suktam
Mantra
Om Shukraya Namah
Graha Shanti japa
16,000 repetitions
Governs
Love, marriage, beauty, luxury
The japa count is fixed rather than arbitrary: 16,000 for Venus, between 7,000 for the Sun and 23,000 for Saturn. Larger figures are a purascharana — japa, then homa at a tenth of it, then tarpana at a tenth of that.
Venus in Vedic astrology →Items Required (Samagri)
Havan kund
Agni is the witness to the marriage, not a symbol of it. The vows are spoken to the fire, which is why the couple circles the kund rather than an altar.
Mangalsutra
Tied in three knots. It is a regional custom rather than a Vedic one — the Vedic core of the rite is the saptapadi, and a marriage is held complete at the seventh step.
Sindoor
Applied at the parting. Like the mangalsutra, it belongs to the customary layer of the ceremony rather than the Vedic one.
Sacred fire items
Ghee, samagri and the wooden ladles. The offerings are made jointly, with both hands on the ladle, which is the ritual statement of the marriage.
Seven types of grains
Poured into the fire at the saptapadi, one for each step, and the seven vows are spoken over them.
Samagri is supplied with the booking. Substitutions are normal and regional; the item a rite is defined by is the one that is never substituted.
