Gowri Nalla Neram

morning 8.41–10.01evening 6.05–7.44

Computed for Gandhinagar. 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, 8.41 am to 10.01 am is the best of the day.

Atiganda Yogam runs till 11.44 am Friday.

This is Margazhi, when many families do not hold weddings or griha pravesam. Daily archanai and worship need no muhurtham. For anything important, your family's jyotishi comes first.
