morning 5.26–7.04evening 6.47–7.52

Computed for Riyadh, in Arabia time (AST). Rahu Kalam, Yamagandam and Kuligai from its own sunrise; Gowri Nalla Neram from its sunrise and sunset. Minute times are under Your day.

Shastra's reading

For anything new, 1.37 pm to 5.17 pm is the best of the day.

Vyatipata Yogam runs till 12.57 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 kolam on this sheet: it is Amavasai.

This day and the next

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

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

Full panchangam

For rituals and muhurtham, computed for Riyadh 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.
