Computed for Sunnyvale, in US Pacific time (PDT). 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, 6.04 am to 8.55 am is the best of the day.

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.
