Shastra's reading

For anything new, 6.42 am to 12.16 pm is the best of the day.

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.

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