Auspicious day to see 25000 weddings

[1]

Hyderabad: August 11, the auspicious day of Amruta Siddhi Yog coincides with Shravana Shukla Panchami (the 5th day of the second fortnight of the 5th month of the Hindu calendar), will witness an estimated 25,000 weddings across the city. Purohits performing the weddings say that any activity that is undertaken on the the auspicious day will yields successful results.
They say that only on four occasions can a muhurtam attain Amruta Siddhi Yog, which is determined by the day and the star that coincides with it (according to a Sanskrit shloka, these four occasions are: Hasta star coinciding with a Sunday, Pushya star coinciding with a Thursday, Anuradha star coinciding with a Wednesday and Rohini star coinciding with a Saturday.)
“It is just twice or thrice a year that such a muhurtam occurs. It is after very  long that a Sunday in Shravana maasam is coinciding with Hasta nakshatram (star), which is rare and auspicious. Starting at 6.05 am, the auspicious muhurtam will last till 11 pm. However, since the day coincides with Naga Panchami (a Hindu festival on which snakes are worshiped), it is considered to be even more auspicious,” said Vasudev Acharya, a Kannada Brahmin purohit.
Purohit Suryanarayana also concurred with this views.
“This is the first muhurtam this year, after the completion of the Aashada Masam (the fourth month of the Hindu calendar). Though August 11 is auspicious, August 23 and 24 are considered even more auspicious. There are lakhs of weddings scheduled to be held on that day,” he said.
Astrologers said that people have to be cautious while checking the horoscope compatibility. Astro-psychologist S.V. Nagnath said, “The muhurtam is definitely auspicious, but as it coincides with Naga Panchami, there might be a few chances of sarpa dosha. So, caution is necessary.”
