Shastra's reading

For anything new, 6.07 am to 12.24 pm is the best of the day, with the Nalla Neram of 7.45–8.45 am inside it.

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

Your day: Tamil calendar for Tirunelveli

Computed for Tirunelveli, to the minute. Use the printed times on the sheet for daily life; use these minutes when fixing a muhurtham. Where they differ, the printed time is shown in brackets.
