Shastra's reading

For anything new, 6.35 am to 8.19 am is the best of the day.

Bhadra Karanam runs till 1.05 am Saturday.

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 Plano's own sunrise, sunset and moonrise.

Full panchangam

For rituals and muhurtham, computed for Plano 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.
