Vivah Muhurat 2026: Chaturmas is the period of Lord Vishnu’s divine slumber, when he rests in Yoga Nidra in the Kshirasagar (cosmic ocean) for four months. This period is known as Chaturmas. According to Hindu tradition, people avoid auspicious or religious ceremonies during these four months.
In November, Lord Vishnu awakens from his divine slumber on Dev Uthani Ekadashi, which marks the end of Chaturmas. With it, the wedding season resumes, and the sound of wedding bells and celebrations begins again. So, let’s find out when Chaturmas ends in 2026 and which November and December dates are most auspicious for taking seven vows.
According to the Panchang, Devshayani Ekadashi was on July 25, 2026, in Ashadha month of Shukla Paksha. On this date, Lord Vishnu entered Yoga Nidra for four months, and all auspicious work paused.
It is after these four months, Lord Vishnu will awaken from his divine slumber on November 20, 2026. This date marks Dev Uthani Ekadashi, which falls in the Shukla Paksha of the Kartik month. Hence, it marks the end of Chaturmas.
When Chaturmas ends, it is a favourable period for weddings, engagements, Mundan (first haircut ceremony), Griha Pravesh (housewarming), and Yagyopavit (sacred thread ceremony). These ceremonies can be resumed according to suitable Shubh Muhurats.
