December 17 – 31 is Margazhi. By Tamil custom, weddings are not held in that month, so those days have no muhurtham. The days listed above fall in Karthigai.

Weddings in Aippasi and Karthigai depend on local custom: some families avoid these months. Those days are marked above; ask your family elders.

The day list and the lagnam time follow the printed almanac (Vakya panchangam) and are the same for every town in Tamil Nadu. Outside Tamil Nadu or abroad the lagnam can differ, so confirm with your astrologer or purohit.
