Shastra's reading

For anything new, 6.42 am to 9.03 am is the best of the day.

Shoola Yogam runs till 7.00 am Wednesday; Bhadra Karanam runs till 10.58 pm.

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.

No major observance on this day.

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

Full panchangam
