Shastra's reading

For anything new, 5.06 pm to sunset is the best of the day.

This is Margazhi, when many families do not hold weddings or griha pravesam. Daily archanai and worship need no muhurtham. For anything important, your family's jyotishi comes first.


No kolam on this sheet: it is Amavasai.

Observance days as Tamil calendars keep them, set by Auckland's own sunrise, sunset and moonrise.

Full panchangam
