According to Hindu religion, devotees believe in doing every propitious task in a Shubh Muhurat. A Muhurat is the Shubh time duration mentioned in the Vedic Panchang in which one can begin their important and auspicious tasks. As such, marriage being a holy joining of two souls, we look for the Shubh Hindu marriage dates in 2020. Hinduism considers that this togetherness, through the pious relationship of marriage, is for seven lives, not one. When the bride and groom take seven rounds around the fire, they make seven vows to each other, which they will fulfil through the seven lives they remain together. Thus, they must take these vows under a Shubh muhurat, which is the Marriage muhurat or the Vivah muhurat.
Hindu Marriage Dates in 2020: As we mentioned earlier, a wedding, according to the Hindu religion, is a bond that transcends time and even lives. This unbreakable bond of two souls is said to continue for seven lifetimes between the husband and wife. Vedic Sanskriti describes four ashrams for any human beings, namely brahmacharya, grihastha, vanaprastha, and sanyaas. Of these, the foundation of grihastha ashram is marriage. After the wedding, a new part of one’s life begins, and they gain new social responsibilities. Just as the seven colours of rainbows, the seven Rishis in the sky, there are seven Pheras or rounds in Vivah Sanskar. These seven rounds are a significant ritual in a marriage, as without them (Pheras) the wedding is not deemed complete, and each Phera (round) has a particular meaning attached to it.
Before finalizing things between a couple, kundali matching for marriage is done. An expert astrologer matches the bride and the groom’s kundlis – their gunas to be exact. There are 36 gunas for each person, and when at least 24 of the 36 Gunas match, then the marriage has higher chances of being a success. Simultaneously, they also see the seventh house of the bride and groom’s kundli as it is the significator of marriage.
Once Kundali matching for marriage is complete, astrologers select an auspicious date, day, nakshatra, and time according to the birth charts of the bride and groom. These details together form the Marriage Muhurat. They analyze the planetary positions and nakshatras in the following way and come up with the Hindu marriage dates in 2020:
While talking about marriage, the term lagna concerns the time of the Pheras (rounds) and the rituals before that. Once the marriage muhurat is confirmed, the next step is deciding the time of lagna. Any mistakes in ascertaining the Vivah Lagna is a primary dosha which one must avoid at all costs. For the Vivah Sanskar, each factor corresponds with something of the native. Thus, the date is body; the Moon corresponds to their heart; the yoga and nakshatras are for the body parts; while the lagna is the soul. Hence, the marriage is incomplete without the lagna.
As per the Astrology scriptures, one should not conduct auspicious tasks like marriage in the Bhadra Kaal, but it also has a remedy for the time of need. To calculate the Hindu Marriage Dates in 2020 in this Kaal, one can avoid the Bhadra of Earth (Bhulok/Prithvi Lok) and Bhadra Mukh (face of Bhadra). Instead, you can calculate the Vivah Muhurat 2020 in the Bhadra Puchh (tail of Bhadra). On the flip side, one can always compute the Marriage Muhurat 2020 in the Godhuli Kaal. The time when the Sun is about to set, and the herds of cows are causing the dust to rise under their hooves while returning home; it is known as the Godhuli Kaal. However, this is a rare occurrence.
The duration of the four months from July to October is called Chaturmas in Hindu Panchang. The term begins from the Chaturmas Devshayani Ekadashi (Ekadashi or eleventh day of Shukla Paksha of Ashada month) and ends on the Devuthani Ekadashi (Ekadashi or eleventh day of Shukla Paksha of Karthik month). Scriptures suggest that one should forget all auspicious tasks in this duration, and immerse oneself in chanting, meditation, and paying homage to the Gods and Goddesses. As per Mythology, during the Chaturmas, Lord Vishnu goes to sleep (Nidra Asana) in the Ksheer Sagar. Only after the end of this period of four months, when the Lord wakes up again, can the auspicious functions restart. That's all we have in Marriage Muhurat 2020 update.
