Vivah Muhurat in April 2025: Auspicious Marriage Dates and Timings
According to the Hindu Panchang, April 2025 offers a limited but significant number of auspicious dates for weddings. Most of the month is considered inauspicious due to the Prohibited Solar Month (Adhik Maas), during which marriage rituals are traditionally avoided. However, select days in the latter half of the month present Shubh Muhurat or auspicious timings for marriage.
Below is a detailed table listing the auspicious Vivah Muhurat in April 2025:

Significance of Vivah Muhurat
In Hindu tradition, a marriage is not just a social or legal institution but a sacred samskara (ritual). Choosing a Shubh Muhurat ensures a blessed and prosperous beginning for the couple. These Muhurats are determined based on various Panchang elements, including:
- Tithi (Lunar Day)
- Nakshatra (Lunar Constellation)
- Yoga
- Karana
- Day of the Week
- Planetary Positions
Astrologers avoid combinations that are considered inauspicious, such as Bhadra, Rahu Kaal, or specific Yogas that nullify the good effects of a Nakshatra.
Why Most Dates in April 2025 Are Inauspicious
From April 1 to April 13, and on many days after April 21, marriages are not advised due to the period known as Surya Sankranti or Adhik Maas. This is a time when the Sun transitions through certain signs or the lunar calendar adds an extra month, both of which are believed to disturb the energetic harmony required for sacred rituals.
Similarly, days when Prohibited Yoga coincides with a normally auspicious Nakshatra, or the duration of the Nakshatra is too short, are also avoided.
Recommendations for Couples Planning an April Wedding
- Consult a Vedic astrologer to personalize the Muhurat based on the couple’s horoscopes.
- Plan your wedding during the listed Muhurat timings only.
- Avoid Rahu Kaal and other inauspicious timings even on auspicious days.
- Arrange the main ceremony such as the pheras or mangalashtak during the most potent window within the Muhurat.
Conclusion
April 2025 offers a few select windows for conducting a Hindu wedding. Those dates fall between April 14 and April 30, with several days marked clearly for auspicious marriage ceremonies. Couples should be mindful of Panchang details and consult experts to ensure they begin their new life at the most favorable time.
Note: The above Muhurat timings are based on the Hindu Panchang for New Delhi, India and may vary slightly depending on geographical location. Always confirm with a qualified astrologer before finalizing your wedding date.
