Shastra's reading

For anything new, 10.42 am to 12.27 pm is the best of the day.

Parigha Yogam runs till 10.26 am.

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

Observance days as Tamil calendars keep them.

For rituals and muhurtham, computed for Tirunelveli 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.
