Computed for Dwarka. Rahu Kalam, Yamagandam and Kuligai from its own sunrise; Gowri Nalla Neram from its sunrise and sunset. Minute times are under Your day.

Shastra's reading

For anything new, 6.34 pm to sunset is the best of the day.

Bhadra Karanam runs till 3.28 pm; Vyaghata Yogam runs till 6.34 pm.

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

Your day

This day and the next

No major observance on this day.

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

Full panchangam

For rituals and muhurtham, computed for Dwarka 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.
