The marriage season started from Dev Uthani Gyaras and would continue till December 11after which there will be a a gap of over four months. The next mahurats will start only after April 21, as per the pandits.

With less mahurats available this wedding season, there is a rush of marriages offering people a reason to celebrate amid the Covid pandemic. In November, the dates were 25 and 30. In December the auspicious dates are 1, 7, 8, 9, and 11, said Pandit Harish Shukla.

However, the challenge before the government is to check the spread of virus while the vaccine is expected to come by April. The government has already made it clear that there would be no lockdowns in the state and social gatherings and functions would also continue. The government order specifies that cultural, social, religious functions that also include marriages, with not more than half the capacity of the hall, where it's taking place, with the upper ceiling of 100 irrespective of the sitting capacity will take place only after giving advance information in the office of SDM concerned. The maximum limit for functions, marriages taking place in open spaces will be a maximum of 200 persons, irrespective of the size of the place where it's taking place. If the space is small, the number of guests will be decided accordingly.

After December, there are no mahurats for weddings till April
