Delhi's winter wedding season kicks off on November 12 with an estimated 48,000 weddings in the NCR. This date coincides with Dev Uthani Ekadashi, an auspicious day considered highly fortunate for marriages, eliminating the need for specific time consultations.


Delhiites need to be ready for the grand opening of the Indian wedding season on November 12 as it is almost here. There will undoubtedly be some baraat when negotiating a traffic jam for everyone who lives in or visits the Capital! The day, which starts the winter wedding season, is expected to see roughly 48,000 nuptials in the NCR, according to wedding industry experts.

Astrologers claim that the day is significant for reasons other than just being the first fortunate day. Dev Uthani Ekadashi, also known as Prabodhini Ekadashi, falls on November 12 and is a particularly auspicious day. The muhurat is so lucky that no pandit consultation is necessary since it is abhuj. On this day, marriage is permitted at any time; no further purification or pooja is necessary.
