💍 What is Marriage Muhurtham?
Marriage Muhurtham is the process of selecting an auspicious time for a wedding. The time is chosen when all five elements of the Panchangam - Tithi, Vara (weekday), Nakshatra, Yoga, and Karana - are favorable.
Additionally, the horoscopes of the bride and groom, Lagna Shuddhi (ascendant purity), Tara Balam (star strength), Chandrashtama (Moon's 8th position), and Panchaka are also considered. The time when all these factors are favorable is the ideal wedding muhurtham.
