Shastra's reading

For anything new, 3.45 pm to sunset is the best of the day.

Bhadra Karanam runs till 7.08 am; Vyaghata Yogam runs till 3.36 pm.

This is Purattasi, 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.

This day and the next

Pournami, the full moon.

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

Full panchangam

For rituals and muhurtham, computed for Kolkata 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.
