Many families in Visakhapatnam are planning weddings on dates believed to be lucky.
Because several lucky dates are close together, wedding halls and resorts are very busy.
Families are booking places months ahead so they do not lose their preferred venue.
Weddings are also becoming more elaborate than they were in the past.
People are arranging themed decorations, special clothing and several different ceremonies.
Photos and videos, including pre-wedding shoots, are important parts of many celebrations.
An astrologer said August 28, 30 and 31 and September 3 to 5 are especially favorable dates.
Some later periods, including September 12 onward and October 19 to 29, are considered unsuitable for weddings.
Auspicious dates during Sravana masam have sharply increased demand for wedding halls, resorts and banquet venues in Visakhapatnam.

Quotes
D. Gopal
Event manager and caterer
“There is so much the client looks forward to in terms of pre-wedding events, Sangeeth, wedding and reception. Compared to earlier years where wedding ceremonies were far simpler, the themes now have to work in tandem with each occasion and so are the dress codes and the stage backdrop.”

Rambhatla Venkataraya Sharma
Astrologer and Telugu researcher
“Since ‘shoonya masam’ commences from September 12th and ‘Shukra moodam’ falls between October 19th and 29th, they are unfavourable for marriages. Even as there are auspicious days later this year, August 28th, 30th and 31st and September 3rd to 5th are considered quite auspicious for marriages.”
