Why Lagna Selection Is More Crucial Than The Date In Hindu Marriage – News18
Last Updated:
Pandit Nand Kishore Mudgal stresses the importance of the Sthir Lagna, which ensures positive and lasting results for the couple.
In Jharkhand and Bihar, the bride’s family selects the Lagna and Muhurta.
Marriage is considered one of the 16 sanskaras (a series of traditional rites of passage that are performed at significant stages of life) in Hinduism, and it is believed that any significant event, including marriage, should only take place after selecting an auspicious date and time. This practice is rooted in the belief that performing rituals at the right moment leads to favourable outcomes and ensures a prosperous and harmonious married life.
The Lagna plays a crucial role in this process, as it is regarded as highly significant when determining the timing of the marriage. A marriage conducted without a carefully chosen Lagna is considered to have an inherent flaw, which may negatively impact the couple’s future. The Lagna is selected with great care, as marrying at an inauspicious Lagna is believed to bring about challenges in married life. Pandit Nand Kishore Mudgal, a renowned astrologer from Mudgal Jyotish Kendra at Pagal Baba Ashram in Deoghar, explained that the Lagna holds significant importance in marriage. While there are 12 different types of Lagnas, the Sthir Lagna (fixed ascendant) is considered the most favourable for marriage. Marrying under the Sthir Lagna is believed to bring positive and lasting results to the couple’s married life. According to Pandit Mudgal, when planning a marriage, the Lagna should be given more attention than the date itself, as it plays a pivotal role in ensuring a harmonious union.
Determination of the Lagna:
The auspicious Lagna for marriage is determined by examining the positions of the stars and planets in the horoscopes of both the bride and groom. Astrologers consider a Lagna to be favourable when Jupiter and Venus are not debilitated or placed in inauspicious positions. Additionally, all planets should be positioned in favourable houses. For example, the Sun should not be in the first or seventh house, the Moon should not be in the first, sixth, or eighth house, Jupiter should not be in the seventh or eighth house, and Venus should avoid the third, seventh, or eighth house. These factors are carefully considered while determining the most auspicious Lagna.
In many regions, the bride’s family is responsible for choosing the Lagna (marriage date). Marriages in states like Jharkhand, Bihar, and Uttar Pradesh are often arranged after identifying the most auspicious date and Lagna. In particular, in places like Jharkhand and Bihar, after the boy’s Tilak (a pre-wedding ritual), the bride’s father writes down the favourable Lagna and Muhurta (auspicious time), which is then handed over to the groom’s father. The groom’s family is invited to bring the wedding procession on the selected Lagna and Muhurta to ensure the marriage takes place at the most auspicious time.
