Why are the wedding dates for London different from an Indian calendar?

The Hindu day runs from local sunrise to local sunrise, so the tithi and nakshatram in force on a given date in London are read at London's sunrise — not Chennai's. On days where an element changes near dawn the two calendars simply land on different dates. Every date on this page is computed for London specifically.

Wedding muhurtham dates 2026 in London

Q: How many wedding dates are there in 2026 for London?

40 in 2026. Dates a Tamil family would normally consider for a wedding, computed at your city's sunrise. The strictest of the five lists — three whole months, both planetary combustion periods and the rikta tithis are excluded, so a thin year is a correct result, not a broken one.

Your family may also accept these

These are the rules Tamil families genuinely differ on. The dates above follow the stricter reading, which is what most houses keep. Switch one on to see the extra dates it opens up — they appear in the tables, marked optional. Check any of them with your purohit.

Pournami (full moon) — Some families do hold a muhurtham on Pournami. Off by default because most Tamil houses avoid it. 4 more dates Chathurthi (a rikta tithi) — Chathurthi is one of the rikta tithis, avoided for weddings in standard Tamil practice. Two published date lists do print weddings on it. 10 more dates Saturday — Most Tamil families avoid Saturday for the muhurtham itself. A minority accept it, usually for a morning ceremony. 14 more dates Poosam and Thiruvonam nakshatram — Two nakshatras admitted for weddings by some houses and not others. Ask your purohit before using these dates. 13 more dates

Why these dates

Each date above passed every rule for a wedding in our published rule set — the nakshatram and tithi prevailing at sunrise in London, the weekday, the Tamil month, and where it applies the planetary combustion (moudhyam) periods and eclipse days. The rahu kalam column is a caution rather than a filter: the date can be good and the hour still needs choosing.
