Shastra's reading

Keep new beginnings small on this day.

Bhadra Karanam runs till 11.58 am; Shoola Yogam runs all day, till 8.00 pm. No part of the day is clear of every caution. If something cannot wait, prefer a good part of the Gowri Panchangam and ask your family's jyotishi.

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.
