Shastra's reading

For anything new, 6.16 am to 8.35 am is the best of the day.

Daily archanai and worship need no muhurtham. For anything important, your family's jyotishi comes first.

No kolam on this sheet: it is Amavasai.

Amavasai, the new moon; tarpanam for ancestors in many families.

Observance days as Tamil calendars keep them.

Full panchangam
