In Hinduism, the fifth day of the bright fortnight of the Margashirsha month—known as Vivah Panchami—is considered extremely sacred, as it marks the divine wedding of Maryada Purushottam Shri Ram and Goddess Sita. Devotees celebrate this celestial union with devotion and grandeur. The wedding of Ram and Sita will be commemorated not only in Ayodhya and Mithila but across the country on November 25, 2025. Here is the auspicious time, puja method, and a powerful remedy associated with this holy festival.
Auspicious Time for Vivah Panchami
The Vivah Panchami tithi begins at 9:22 pm on Monday, November 24, 2025, and ends at 10:56 pm on Tuesday, November 25, 2025. Based on Udaya Tithi, the festival will be celebrated on November 25, 2025.
Vivah Panchami Puja Method
On the morning of Vivah Panchami, devotees should bathe, meditate, and wear yellow clothes. A yellow cloth is then spread on the place of worship, where idols or pictures of Lord Ram and Goddess Sita are installed. Sprinkle holy water on the idols and apply tilak of roli or sandalwood.
After this, place clothes representing the bride and groom and tie them together in a symbolic knot. Offer fruits, sweets, and a Tulsi leaf. To remove obstacles and fulfill wishes, chant the Sita-Ram mantra using a Tulsi mala.
Maha Upay for Vivah Panchami
It is believed that performing traditional rituals dedicated to Lord Ram and Sita with devotion on this day removes obstacles and fulfills heartfelt desires. The festival is considered especially auspicious for those seeking a suitable life partner.
Individuals who have faced delays in marriage are advised to visit a Ram temple on Vivah Panchami, offer yellow flowers, yellow sandalwood, and yellow sweets or fruits, and then recite the prescribed couplet for divine blessings.
