Shastra's reading

Keep new beginnings small on this day.

Bhadra Karanam runs till 3.48 pm; Vaidhriti Yogam runs till 10.12 am; Vishkambha Yogam runs till 6.53 am Monday. 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.

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

No major observance on this day.

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

Full panchangam
