What the tradition asks of a Vivah date
A wedding date is calculated for the couple rather than chosen from a list — the birth details of both are read, and the season is a constraint on top of that. The closed periods are the same as for any beginning: Chaturmas, Kharmas and Pitru Paksha, which between them account for about half the year.
Two things push the hour late. The muhurats the tradition favours for the saptapadi frequently fall at night, and the rite runs three to four hours from the mandap puja. In Mithila the date is agreed only after the Panji genealogical registers have been consulted, so it is settled later there than elsewhere.
Because the calculation involves both families' astrologers as well as the season, the date is the slowest part of a wedding to settle and everything else waits on it. Booking the pandit at the same time as agreeing the date is the difference between choosing one and taking whoever is left.
