Vajra Yogam runs till 2.13 pm Sunday; Bhadra Karanam runs till 4.44 am Sunday.

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

This day and the next

Ekadasi, a fasting day in many families.

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

Full panchangam

For rituals and muhurtham, computed for Sacramento 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.
