Shastra's reading

For anything new, 3.59 pm to sunset is the best of the day.

Bhadra Karanam runs till 3.59 pm; Ganda Yogam runs till 9.29 am.

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

This day and the next

Ekadasi, a fasting day in many families.

Sunday 18 April: Pradosham.

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.
