Vivah Panchami 2025: Is it really inauspicious to marry during the Uttaraphalguni nakshatra? Understand the full math here.:

News Topical, Digital Desk : According to the Vedic calendar, Vivah Panchami falls on Tuesday, November 25th. This festival is celebrated every year on the fifth day of the bright fortnight of the month of Margashirsha, which is the month of Agahan. On this auspicious occasion, Lord Shri Ram, the embodiment of the highest order, and Mother Janaki, the mother of the universe, are worshipped.

Sanatan scriptures state that Lord Rama and Mother Sita were married on the fifth day of the bright fortnight of the month of Margashirsha (the Nakshatra marriage myth). The festival of Vivah Panchami is celebrated with great pomp every year on this auspicious occasion.

But do you know why astrologers advise against marriage during the Uttara Phalguni nakshatra, and what connection does it have with the marriage of Lord Rama and Mother Sita? Let's find out everything about it.

When did the marriage take place?

Astrologers believe that after Lord Rama broke the Pinaka bow at Sita's Swayamvara in the Treta Yuga, Goddess Janaki accepted Lord Rama as her husband. Subsequently, Lord Rama and Goddess Sita were married on the fifth day of the bright fortnight of the month of Margashirsha. At the time of Lord Rama's marriage, the Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra coincided.

Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra (Vedh Dosh in Nakshatra)

Astrologers consider Uttaraphalguni auspicious for other purposes. However, they do not consider it auspicious for marriage. They believe that Lord Rama and Goddess Sita were married during the Uttaraphalguni nakshatra. This led to hardships after marriage, including separation. Therefore, astrologers advise against marriage during Uttaraphalguni.

Calculation of the marriage date

If you're about to get married, be sure to have your horoscopes matched by a qualified astrologer. Also consider the Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra (constellation) during this time. Consider the duration of the Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra on the wedding date. You can also consult an astrologer about marrying during the Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra. Consult an astrologer for any special purpose.
