For anything new, 11.40 am to 3.18 pm is the best of the day.

Vajra Yogam runs till 5.13 pm Sunday; Bhadra Karanam runs till 7.44 am Sunday.

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

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