Shastra's reading

For anything new, 6.56 pm to sunset is the best of the day.

Atiganda Yogam runs till 5.14 pm.

This is Margazhi, 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.

No major observance on this day.

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

Full panchangam
