Keep new beginnings small on this day.

Bhadra Karanam runs till 9.36 am; Vaidhriti Yogam runs till 1.53 pm; Vishkambha Yogam runs till 10.24 am Sunday. No part of the day is clear of every caution. If something cannot wait, prefer a good part of the Gowri Panchangam and ask your family's jyotishi.

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.
