About the engagement muhurat
The sagai, roka or ring ceremony has a wider list of nakshatras than the wedding and does not wait for Chaturmas to end. That is why families often hold the engagement in a season with no wedding dates, and fix the wedding for the first good date after Devuthani Ekadashi.
Is this right for my city?
These dates are read at sunrise for New Delhi. Across India the dates almost never change, but the hours move with your sunrise, by up to an hour between Kolkata and Mumbai. Outside India the date itself can shift. Check the dates for your own city, anywhere in the world, free.
