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, 3.33 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.

Your day: Tamil calendar for Gandhinagar

Computed for Gandhinagar, to the minute. Use these minutes when fixing a muhurtham.

This day and the next

Mattu Pongal, for the cattle.

Sunday 17 January: Kaanum Pongal.

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

Full panchangam

For rituals and muhurtham, computed for Gandhinagar 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.
