Shastra's reading

For anything new, 10.00 am to 11.15 am is the best of the day.

Bhadra Karanam runs till 2.55 am Saturday.

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.

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