Shastra's reading

Keep new beginnings small on this day.

Vyatipata Yogam runs till 6.17 pm; Bhadra Karanam runs till 12.14 am Saturday. 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.

This is Aadi, when many families do not hold weddings or griha pravesam. Daily archanai and worship need no muhurtham. For anything important, your family's jyotishi comes first.

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

Full panchangam
