Tithi and nakshatram computed for Kumbakonam. Rahu Kalam, Yamagandam, Kuligai, Nalla Neram and Soolam as Tamil calendars print them. Minute times are under Your day.

Shastra's reading

For anything new, 1.44 pm to sunset is the best of the day, with the Nalla Neram of 4.45–5.45 pm inside it.

Bhadra Karanam runs till 6.59 am.

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