Shastra's reading

Keep new beginnings small on this day.

Shoola Yogam runs till 2.16 pm; Ganda Yogam runs till 1.36 pm Friday. 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.

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.
