About The Wedding Store

What we make

• Google Sheets and Excel planning templates: budget tracker with 18% GST, guest list and RSVPs, wardrobe, shagun, Sangeet planning and a complete planner kit.
• Free planning tools: a budget calculator, an expense-split simulator, a Sangeet planner, a hashtag generator and a Mumbai wedding-dates guide.

How our wedding dates are computed

We do not copy dates from other panchang sites. We compute them. The positions of the Sun, Moon, Venus and Jupiter come from the Swiss Ephemeris, a standard astronomical library, using the Lahiri ayanamsa and the location of Mumbai. Values are taken at noon local time.

We first remove the periods when Hindu weddings are traditionally not held: Chaturmas, Kharmas, Adhik maas, and the times Venus or Jupiter is combust (Shukra asta and Guru asta). On the remaining days we keep only those that fall on a classical marriage nakshatra, avoid Vishti (Bhadra) karana and inauspicious yogas, and are not a Tuesday.

Chaturmas starts and ends on Devshayani and Prabodhini Ekadashi, dated by the tithi at sunrise as published calendars do. Each period is shown with its true start and end, even where it begins before our date range. "Excellent" and "Good" are our own ranking of how many classical factors line up; every listed date already passes the hard rules.

We checked a sample window of our output against published vivah muhurat lists. Our list is deliberately conservative: it includes fewer dates than some sources, and we would rather omit a date than recommend a wrong one.

What we do not claim

• Astrology is cultural guidance, not science, and our dates are not professional advice.
• Panchang practice differs by region and family. Our list covers Mumbai only, and the exact lagna for your ceremony is set by your family pandit, whose word is final.
