Shastra's reading

Keep new beginnings small on this day.

Vyatipata Yogam runs all day, till 8.00 pm. 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.
