Remedies For Delayed Marriages On Akshaya Tritiya

There are many reasons behind the marriage being delayed. The most common reason is the problems in horoscopes or the birth chart. The planets such as Saturn, Venus, Mars and Rahu are the culprits behind problems in marriages.

The seventh house of the birth chart is dedicated to marriage; and if any of these planets occupy an unfavourable position, it can cause a delay in getting married. Try the methods given below on Akshaya Tritiya and you will definitely find a life partner soon.

• Take a coconut and hold it in your hand. With your favourite deity in your mind, say your name and Gotra and circumambulate a holy banyan tree seven times. Now, leave the coconut below it. This will remove any obstacles to getting married.
• Donate a pot made up of mud to a temple dedicated to Lord Shiva.
• Conduct a 'Rudrabhishek' for Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati.
