December 2026 has 7 auspicious Hindu marriage dates: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 11 and 12 December. After 12 December there are no vivah Muhurats for the rest of the month, because Kharmas begins when the Sun enters Dhanu (Sagittarius) around mid-December and lasts until Makar Sankranti in mid-January 2027. If you want a December wedding, these first two weeks are your only window — and venues fill fast.
Timings below are for New Delhi and shift by a few minutes in other cities. Always confirm the final muhurat with your family pandit using both partners' kundlis.
