morning 5.09–6.45evening 5.59–7.21

Shastra's reading

For anything new, 5.09 am to 10.32 am is the best of the day.

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

Pradosham, Siva worship at dusk.

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

For rituals and muhurtham, computed for Doha 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.
