Shastra's reading

Keep new beginnings small on this day.

Vyaghata Yogam runs all day, till 1.28 am Tuesday. No part of the day is clear of every caution. If something cannot wait, prefer a good part of the Gowri Panchangam and ask your family's jyotishi.

Daily archanai and worship need no muhurtham. For anything important, your family's jyotishi comes first.

No kolam on this sheet: it is Amavasai.

This day and the next

Amavasai, the new moon; tarpanam for ancestors in many families.

In Tamil Nadu, Amavasai is on Tuesday 14 July.

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

Full panchangam

For rituals and muhurtham, computed for Austin by modern astronomical calculation (Drik, Lahiri). A caution's start is rounded down and its end up; a good window's start up and its end down. Underlined words open their meaning.
