Shastra's reading

Keep new beginnings small on this day.

Bhadra Karanam runs all day, till 5.10 pm; Atiganda Yogam runs till 2.29 pm Saturday. 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.

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.
