In this guide, we’ll help you:

Why Muhurtham Matters in Kerala Weddings

In Hindu tradition, weddings are sacred samskaras, and muhurtham (auspicious timing) ensures the blessings of the cosmos for a harmonious married life. Muhurthams are based on:

• Nakshatras (stars)
• Tithi (lunar day)
• Weekdays
• Planetary alignments

Choosing a good muhurtham is usually done in consultation with a Jyothishan (astrologer), who checks the bride and groom’s horoscopes for the most compatible date and time.
