For anything new, 1.34 pm to sunset is the best of the day.

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

Thursday 16 April: Masa Sivaratri.

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.
