Choose from any of the above times only after thoroughly consulting with your priest and astrologer.
Why Muhurat matters?
According to Hindu tradition, any ceremony, from buying a new house to a wedding, is deeply rooted in spiritual significance. You should be aware that even the timing of these rituals can influence the success of your endeavors.
This is why you need a specific window of time, which is considered the most auspicious for proceeding with religious ceremonies. This is known as Muhurat. It is believed that choosing the right muhurat for you can invite divine blessings and help you live a prosperous life.
Therefore, choosing the right muhurat for your engagement is more important than you might think. You are about to take a spiritual pledge in that moment. Coupled with the emotional attachment of the families and ceremonies, these things carry a massive influence in Hindu culture.
According to the scriptures of Hindu culture, the whole day is divided into 30 muhurats, each of which usually lasts for 48 minutes. But keep in mind, not all of them are considered auspicious for ceremonies.
Align yourself with cosmic energy
Conducting a ceremony during a Shubh Muhurat entails syncing cosmic energies and your personal intentions into one. Positions of celestial bodies, such as the Sun, Moon, planets, and constellations, are considered when determining the most harmonious time for your ritual through Vedic astrology.
Avoid Doshas (negative effects)
Conducting your Sagai during unfavorable times can cause clashes with planetary movements. This could lead to Doshas (negative results). Avoid such astrological imbalances by choosing the correct date and time for your ring ceremony.
Important tips before you finalize your date
Here are some of the things to keep in mind before you decide on your engagement date:
The location of your ceremony is crucial, muhurat times can have a wide range and change due to sunrise and sunset times.
Double-check your invitations. Blessings and good wishes from your loved ones are a huge part of any ritual.
Avoid any last-minute shenanigans by relaying and confirming the set time to priests, family members, and most importantly, the venue.
Summary
Choosing the right muhurat binds your engagement with the goodwill from traditions and favorable cosmic energy.
Many factors can influence the timing, positions of planetary bodies, constellations, and lunar days.
There are several dates in March 2026 that are favorable for engagement and marriage ceremonies. Consult with your astrologer and priest to choose the best one for you.
Choosing from one of these favorable muhurats marks the start of a happy married life through the blessing of God.
Best Wishes
Sagai isn’t just another date on your calendar. It is the act of promising yourself to another and embarking on a journey together. When your ring ceremony is aligned with the favorable energy of celestial bodies and cosmic energy, your union benefits from the same blessings.
