Marriage Muhurat in Palakkad - 2026
For marriage in Palakkad (Kerala), timings are adjusted for local coordinates (10.79N, 76.65E). Rahu Kalam, sunrise, sunset, and Lagna calculations differ from standard Delhi-based muhurat lists because Palakkad is at a different longitude. Always use city-specific timings for accurate muhurat.

About Marriage Muhurat
Auspicious dates and timings for marriage ceremonies. Traditional Hindu marriage muhurat considers Panchang elements (Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga, Karana), avoids inauspicious periods (Bhadra, Panchak, Holashtak), and checks the bride and groom's birth charts for compatibility with the chosen date.

Why Palakkad-specific timings matter
Standard muhurat lists are calculated for Delhi or Ujjain. Palakkad is at 10.79N latitude and 76.65E longitude, which shifts sunrise, sunset, Rahu Kalam, and Lagna timings. A muhurat that starts at 7:15 AM in Delhi may start at later in Palakkad. Using generic timings can mean performing the ceremony during an inauspicious window in your actual city.
FAQ
Q.How many auspicious marriage dates are there in a year?
Typically 40-60 auspicious marriage dates exist per year after filtering out inauspicious months, tithis, nakshatras, and planetary conditions. The exact number varies by year based on planetary positions. Some years have fewer dates due to extended inauspicious periods like Adhik Maas.
Q.Can we marry during Sawan (Shravan month)?
North Indian traditions generally avoid marriages during Shravan. South Indian traditions (Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam) do not observe this restriction. If the family follows North Indian customs, avoid Shravan. If South Indian, Shravan marriages are acceptable.
Q.Is night marriage muhurat valid?
Yes. Many traditional Hindu marriages happen at night - the Brahma Muhurat (before dawn) is considered especially auspicious. What matters is the Lagna and Panchang at the exact marriage time, not whether it is day or night.
