This day and the next

No major observance on this day.

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

Full panchangam

For rituals and muhurtham, computed for Durban 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.
