For anything new, 6.03 am to 8.33 am is the best of the day.

Bhadra Karanam runs till 12.28 am Wednesday; Vaidhriti Yogam runs till 10.57 am Wednesday.

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

This day and the next

No major observance on this day.

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

Full panchangam

For rituals and muhurtham, computed for Suva 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.
