Vivah muhurat 2026 timings in Dubai (UAE)
Muhurat windows are calculated for a place. Sunrise in Dubai is different and the UAE clock runs 1 hour 30 minutes behind India, so windows move, and a few move to another date. For example, the first Dubai window is before dawn on 21 November (5:01 am to 6:40 am). Drik Panchang's Dubai list also has no separate 6 December window: Dubai's 5 December window runs until 6:12 am on 6 December. If your wedding is in the UAE, use this table rather than the India one.

Why do weddings start only after 20 November in 2026?
Hindu weddings traditionally pause during Chaturmas, the four months from Devshayani Ekadashi to Dev Uthani (Prabodhini) Ekadashi, when Lord Vishnu is said to rest. 2026 has an extra lunar month (Adhik Maas), so Dev Uthani Ekadashi falls later than usual, on 20 November. Tulsi Vivah is celebrated around the same days, and many families treat it as the start of the wedding season.
Why is there a break from mid-December to mid-January?
When the Sun moves through Dhanu (Sagittarius), the month is called Kharmas (or Dhanur maas), and tradition avoids weddings and other new beginnings. In this cycle, Kharmas runs from 16 December 2026 to Makar Sankranti on 14 January 2027. That's why 12 December is the last date of 2026 and the next date is Friday 15 January 2027.

What makes a day a vivah muhurat?
A panchang marks a day as a vivah muhurat when several traditional conditions line up at once:
- Nakshatra: the Moon is in one of the classical marriage nakshatras: Rohini, Mrigashira, Magha, Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, Swati, Anuradha, Mula, Uttara Ashadha, Uttara Bhadrapada or Revati.
- Tithi: tradition avoids Amavasya and the rikta tithis (Chaturthi, Navami, Chaturdashi). A window often starts or ends as the tithi changes, which is why some rows show two tithis.
- Season: not during Chaturmas or Kharmas, and not while Venus (Shukra) or Jupiter (Guru) is combust (too close to the Sun).
- Hours: the window leaves out inauspicious parts of the day, which is why most dates have a start and end time, not the whole day.
A general muhurat is a good starting point. A family purohit then fixes the exact lagna for your city and venue.
How to choose the right date for the two of you
- Shortlist two or three dates from the table that work for the venue and the family.
- Check the match first. The muhurat picks a good day; kundli matching looks at the couple. They answer different questions.Match by name, freeMatch by birth details, free
- Take your shortlist to your purohit, who will look at both birth nakshatras (Tara bala) and fix the lagna for your venue.
- If you're marrying outside India, use your city's timings (Dubai above).

Frequently asked questions
How many vivah muhurat dates are left in 2026?
Eleven: 21, 24, 25 and 26 November, and 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 11 and 12 December 2026, as per Drik Panchang for New Delhi.
What is the first wedding date after Dev Uthani Ekadashi 2026?
Saturday 21 November 2026. In Delhi the window runs from 6:48 am to 12:08 am (just after midnight), with the Moon in Revati.
Is there any marriage muhurat after 12 December 2026?
Not in 2026. Kharmas runs from 16 December 2026 to 14 January 2027, and the next vivah muhurat is Friday 15 January 2027.
Are the muhurat timings the same in Dubai?
No. Windows are calculated for each place, and the UAE clock is 1 hour 30 minutes behind India. Use the Dubai table on this page for a UAE wedding.
Is 24 November 2026 a good wedding date?
Drik Panchang lists it, with a night window from 11:25 pm to 6:52 am and the Moon in Rohini. Some stricter lists leave it out because it falls on a Tuesday, so it's worth discussing with your purohit.
If the date is shubh, do we still need kundli matching?
Yes, if your family follows it. The muhurat is about the day and matching is about the couple. You can check both for free on KismatAstro: matching by name or by birth details.
Why do different websites show different dates?
Panchangs follow different regional traditions and calculation rules, some apply stricter conditions (like avoiding Tuesdays), and timings depend on the city. We follow Drik Panchang and show both Delhi and Dubai.
Dates checked against Drik Panchang (New Delhi and Dubai) on 28 September 2026. Muhurat dates are traditional guidance. Please confirm the final muhurat with your family purohit. KismatAstro content is for guidance and entertainment.
