Tulsi Vivah 2026: have the marriage biodata ready

Tulsi Vivah 2026 is a calendar marker for many Hindu families, and a cue for relatives to ask for a marriage biodata. The file can be ready before anyone asks. The date of the rite belongs in your house calendar. It does not belong on the PDF.

When is Tulsi Vivah in 2026?

Saturday, 21 November 2026, on the Drik Panchang for New Delhi. Drik spells it Tulasi Vivah and lists it on Kartik Shukla Dwadashi. Dev Uthani Ekadashi, also called Prabodhini Ekadashi, is the day before: Friday, 20 November 2026, the main fast on that same panchang. For New Delhi, Drik has the Ekadashi tithi from 7:15 AM on 20 November to 6:31 AM on 21 November.

Some households hold Tulsi Vivah on the evening of Prabodhini Ekadashi, so their day is 20 November 2026. Drik also lists a gauna Devutthana Ekadashi on 21 November. Follow the day your house already keeps. Evening timings change with the sunset in your city. This page does not print a muhurat.

Does Tulsi Vivah open the wedding season?

Prabodhini Ekadashi marks the end of Chaturmas. In that tradition, families set weddings aside during the four months before it, and count the Hindu wedding season from this Ekadashi. Tulsi Vivah, the ceremonial marriage of the tulsi plant to Vishnu, sits on that weekend. Treat that as your house's custom. A priest in the family is the person who says whether a particular day is open for a wedding.

Skip muhurat lists copied from a forward or from a website. The file is the same either way: one current PDF, ready before a relative asks.

What should the marriage biodata have ready before relatives ask?

One page, with facts a stranger could check: name, date of birth, height, education, work, parents, and one contact number. Add religion, community, gotra, rashi, and nakshatra only when the family you are sending it to expects them. Leave the street address off. A forwarded PDF keeps travelling after you meant it to stop.

The field order is on the marriage biodata format page. Use the Marathi or Hindi guide when that is the language at home, and the pages for a boy or a girl when you want that layout. Build the file with the free biodata maker. Photos, papers, and a shortlist sit in the wedding season checklist.

Who should hold the current PDF?

One person keeps the file everyone else forwards. The candidate reads the lines about work, study, and the short note about themselves before it goes out. Parents keep the relative list and the community lines the house actually uses. An older screenshot from a phone gallery is how a family opens the call with the wrong company.

When a job, a city, or a degree changes, replace the file. The steps are in update a marriage biodata. Who owns the file before anything goes out is in wedding planning at home.

Should a wedding date go on the biodata?

Leave it off. At home, write down the months when leave, travel, and guests are possible. That note is for your own table. If your family chooses an auspicious day with a priest, do that after both sides want to continue, and ask that priest. A date one side prints before the other has agreed is how the search stalls.

What do you send when the first relative asks?

The same PDF, in a private chat, with a short note. Copy-ready lines are in biodata WhatsApp messages. When a family writes back, answer once. The wording for yes, for a little more time, and for a polite no is in how to reply to a marriage biodata.
