The wedding dates. These are the ones the whole year is planned around, and they cluster in Magh, Falgun, Baisakh and Jestha — the months when Jupiter and Venus are visible and the prohibited periods are over. There are no vivah sahit at all during Chaturmas, when the marriage season stops for about four months.
A vivah sait (also called lagan) is a day the panchang marks as fit for a wedding. The list is worked out from the positions of the Sun, Moon, Jupiter and Venus, the tithi and nakshatra of the day, and the prohibited periods of the year. Families usually book a hall, priest and band around one of these dates months in advance, so the list is often the first thing checked when a wedding is planned.
Most dates fall in Magh, Falgun, Baisakh and Jestha, with a smaller group in Mangsir. From Harishayani Ekadashi in Asar to Haribodhini Ekadashi in Kartik — Chaturmas — the list is empty, and it also thins out while Jupiter or Venus is combust (asta). That is why the count per month in the table above is so uneven.
The published sait is a general list for everyone. Many families also ask a priest to check the couple's birth charts against it and pick the day and the exact muhurta from those that remain. Tap any date in the table to open that day in the calendar with its tithi and events.
The count is shown at the top of the table and in the page title; it comes straight from this year's published list.
Those months fall in Chaturmas, the four months from Harishayani Ekadashi to Haribodhini Ekadashi when weddings are traditionally not held.
In everyday use, yes — both mean the auspicious wedding dates of the year. Strictly, lagan refers to the rising sign at the time of the ceremony, which the priest fixes within the chosen day.
Dates follow the sait list published for the year by Nepal's panchang committee; the AD dates are converted with the site's BS tables.
