Shastra's reading

For anything new, 6.46 pm to sunset is the best of the day.

Bhadra Karanam runs till 6.46 pm; Vishkambha Yogam runs till 11.04 am.

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.
