Shastra's reading

Keep new beginnings small on this day.

Bhadra Karanam runs till 5.54 pm; Ganda Yogam runs till 7.06 am. No part of the day is clear of every caution. If something cannot wait, prefer the printed Nalla Neram and ask your family's jyotishi.

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