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.

For anything new, 4.49 pm to sunset is the best of the day.

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

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