Wedding dates in 2025
Dates chosen the way a panchangam chooses them — nakshatra, tithi, vara, yoga and karana — with the reason given for every one, and the reason given for every period that has none.
31 dates
Periods with no dates, and why
1 Jan 2025 — 13 Jan 2025
Margazhi — the Sun in Dhanus, from about 16 December to about 14 January. It is given over to worship rather than to beginnings: the month of Thiruvempavai and Thiruppavai, when temples open before dawn. Weddings are not held in it. This one falls entirely outside Chaturmas, so it is a separate reason and not the same gap under another name.
18 Mar 2025 — 27 Mar 2025
Shukra — Venus — is combust. Venus is the karaka of the spouse and of conjugal harmony, and marriages are not held while it is set. This happens roughly every eighteen months and can last two months when Venus passes behind the Sun.
10 Jun 2025 — 9 Jul 2025
Guru — Jupiter — is combust, too close to the Sun for its light to be seen. Jupiter is the karaka of the husband and of dharma, and no marriage is performed while it is set. This happens once a year and lasts about a month.
17 Jul 2025 — 16 Aug 2025
Aadi — the month the Sun spends in Karka, from about 17 July. Weddings are not held in Aadi in Tamil practice; it is a month for the family deities and for the goddess. This is regional custom rather than a rule from a classical text, and it overlaps the opening weeks of Chaturmas.
4 Aug 2025 — 30 Nov 2025
Chaturmas — the four months from Devshayani Ekadashi to Prabodhini Ekadashi, when Vishnu is held to sleep. No marriage is performed in this period. It is the reason wedding calendars run empty from late July to late November, and it ends on Prabodhini Ekadashi, which is itself the first auspicious day of the season.
17 Sept 2025 — 17 Oct 2025
Purattasi — the Sun in Kanya, from about 17 September. It is the month of Perumal and it contains Mahalaya Paksham, the fortnight kept for the ancestors, and no wedding is held in it. Regional custom rather than a classical rule, and it falls inside Chaturmas as well.
26 Nov 2025 — 31 Dec 2025
Shukra — Venus — is combust. Venus is the karaka of the spouse and of conjugal harmony, and marriages are not held while it is set. This happens roughly every eighteen months and can last two months when Venus passes behind the Sun.
16 Dec 2025 — 31 Dec 2025
Margazhi — the Sun in Dhanus, from about 16 December to about 14 January. It is given over to worship rather than to beginnings: the month of Thiruvempavai and Thiruppavai, when temples open before dawn. Weddings are not held in it. This one falls entirely outside Chaturmas, so it is a separate reason and not the same gap under another name.

Which of these suit you
The dates above are the same for everyone in the city. These two checks are not: tarabala counts the day's star from your own, and chandrabala reads the Moon's sign from yours. Give both birth stars and the list below says which dates clear for both of you — and for the ones that do not, who they are blocked for.
How these are chosen
Each date has to pass panchanga shuddhi: the nakshatra must be one classically named for the purpose, the tithi must not be Rikta, the karana must not be Bhadra, and for a wedding neither Guru nor Shukra may be combust. Every date below carries the reasons it passed.
- The nakshatra is one of those classically named for this
- The tithi is favourable for beginning something
Where the classical lists disagree about which stars are acceptable, we take only the ones they all agree on. That makes this list shorter than some. A date we leave out costs you nothing; a date we wrongly include costs you a wedding.
