For anything new, 11.31 am to 1.01 pm is the best of the day.

Bhadra Karanam runs till 7.55 am.

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

Sankatahara Chaturthi, Ganesha worship; the fast ends at moonrise.

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

Full panchangam

For rituals and muhurtham, computed for Singapore 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.
