Computed for Edison, in US Eastern time (EST). 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, 10.46 am to 1.34 pm is the best of the day.

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

This day and the next

Pradosham, Siva worship at dusk.

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

Full panchangam

For rituals and muhurtham, computed for Edison 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.
