Weddings under lockdown: Second year in row, now only 9 muhurats left in June

For the second year in a row, the wedding season from April to May is under lockdown and various businesses tied to it are running into loses.

District administration banned wedding ceremonies to control the spread of coronavirus and avoid any kind of gathering. According to the order issued earlier, weddings are prohibited in the district till May 31.

It is now possible to get permission for weddings in June and July. However, the conditions for the same have not been announced as yet.

In the year 2020 also, due to corona infection, the wedding season in April-May was under the lockdown. People had to cancel marriages. This was followed by weddings in November and December.

Even then, district administration gave permission for weddings among a limited number of guests. Hence, the usual big fat Indian wedding seemed history.

But with a wish to only have the big fat Indian wedding, many couples had postponed their wedding to 2021 with hope of having as many guests as they wished. However, none of them could marry in April – May 2021 at all, unlike possibility in November and December.

The second wave of Corona has dampened aspirations of engaged couples. Due to the re-lockdown and the ban on the marriage ceremony, many people have taken the marriage forward.

Now weddings likely in June-July or Nov-Dec

Now these weddings are likely to be held in June-July or November-December season. If the lockdown opens in June and permission is given for weddings, then most people will be ready to do marriages following the guideline.

Now the market is likely to open fully in June. Even if the administration allows the marriage ceremony, only 9 Muhurats of marriage are left in June and July. After this, the next possible weddings will begin in November.

Ban on Weddings Affects Business

April-May Corona Curfew and Ban on Weddings did not subscribe to the market. Those who had prepared for weddings were not bought.

This affected the trade in textiles, gold-silver and cosmetics. According to textile traders, the subscription to the urban area was greatly affected.

There was also no sale of gold and silver. The biggest impact was on tents, hotels, caterers, bands and other wedding related businesses. People had made the booking, which was cancelled.

Traders associations including hotels have often cited that 70 percent of the total business usually happens in the April-May wedding season. This season has been going bad for two years.
