This day and the next

Ekadasi, a fasting day in many families.

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

Full panchangam

For rituals and muhurtham, computed for London 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.
