Vivah Panchami, marking Ram and Sita's wedding day, falls on Sunday 13 December 2026. It sits inside the wedding season that opens after Dev Uthani Ekadashi in late November, and some families choose it specifically for its significance.
If your wedding, or a family member's, is on this date, plan it the same way as any wedding date: count backward from the 13th, not from when the season opened.
Counting back from 13 December
| Before the wedding | What to do |
|---|---|
| Now, if the date is fixed | Book the makeup date and secure it |
| About a month before (mid-November) | Start the bridal package: facials, polishing, waxing, hair spa |
| 10 to 15 days before (28 Nov - 3 Dec) | Bridal makeup trial |
| 3 to 4 days before (9-10 Dec) | Waxing and threading |
| 12 December | Manicure, pedicure, mehndi |
| 13 December | Makeup, hair, draping, with a buffer before the ceremony |
This falls close behind Guru Nanak Jayanti and inside a season where many other families are also marrying, so the same booking-early logic applies: confirm the date and the makeup slot as soon as the wedding is fixed.
