morning 11.13–1.05evening 8.37–9.44

Computed for London, in UK time (BST). Rahu Kalam, Yamagandam and Kuligai from its own sunrise; Gowri Nalla Neram from its sunrise and sunset. Minute times are under Your day.

Shastra's reading

Keep new beginnings small on this day.

Bhadra Karanam runs till 9.30 am; Vyaghata Yogam runs all day, till 1.09 am Sunday. 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.

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.
