Bhadra Karanam runs till 10.41 am; Atiganda Yogam runs till 11.35 am.

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

This day and the next

Sankatahara Chaturthi, Ganesha worship; the fast ends at moonrise.

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

Full panchangam

For rituals and muhurtham, computed for Los Angeles 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.
