Tuesday 14 April: Pradosham.

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.
