For anything new, 11.59 am to 2.44 pm is the best of the day.

Bhadra Karanam runs till 11.59 am.

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

Ekadasi, a fasting day in many families.

Sunday 18 April: Pradosham.

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

Full panchangam

For rituals and muhurtham, computed for Kuala Lumpur 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.
