The wedding-lagna check, hour by hour
9:10–10:09 in the morning holds as a wedding lagna.
- 12:16–1:37 in the afternoon · Not a wedding lagna: Sevvai (Mars) in the seventh from the rising sign; Guru (Jupiter) in the seventh from the rising sign.
- 4:41–5:54 in the morning · Not a wedding lagna: Chandra (Moon) in the sixth house; Shani (Saturn) in the seventh from the rising sign; Ketu in the seventh from the Moon.
- 9:10–10:09 in the morning · This hour holds for a wedding. (Why: Guru (Jupiter) in the ninth house sets aside Ketu in the seventh from the Moon.)

How this is worked out
These hours are what remains after removing the periods every almanac marks, ranked by gowri part. For a wedding, each one's rising sign is also checked against the rules for the marriage lagna: no planet in the seventh from the lagna, none of the placements that break it (Saturn in the twelfth, Mars in the tenth, Venus in the third, the Moon or a malefic rising, and those in the sixth and eighth), no malefics closing on the lagna or the Moon, and the Sun, Mars, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu kept out of the seventh from the Moon. A stretch that fails says why. The eighth sign from the couple's own birth signs needs their charts and is checked in the wedding report. Some faults can be set aside, and a stretch cleared that way says so. (Why: Jupiter, Venus or Mercury in the 1st, 4th, 5th, 9th or 10th house from the rising sign lifts every fault but the breaking placements and a planet in the seventh.) Two things are not checked here: the navamsa of the lagna, and the further rules that let a strong Sun and Moon lift a fault — so a stretch refused here may still be accepted by your purohit on those grounds. Durmuhurtam is not published: two major panchangams place it in different muhurtas on the same day, and removing the wrong forty-five minutes from your day is worse than not offering the field.
