Computed for Siliguri. 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, 4.39 pm to 5.26 pm is the best of the day.

Bhadra Karanam runs till 3.24 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.

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