This year, the auspicious occasion of Vivah Panchami is being celebrated on 17th December 2023.

Nearly every region in India with Ram-Sita temples celebrates Vivah Panchami. The most significant celebrations take place in Ayodhya, the birthplace of Lord Ram, and Janakpur, the birthplace of Goddess Sita, among other places in India.
