Tithi and nakshatram computed for Tirunelveli. Rahu Kalam, Yamagandam, Kuligai, Nalla Neram and Soolam as Tamil calendars print them. Minute times are under Your day.

Shastra's reading

For anything new, 6.10 am to 7.44 am is the best of the day.

Parigha Yogam runs till 6.49 am Thursday.

This is Aadi, when many families do not hold weddings or griha pravesam. Daily archanai and worship need no muhurtham. For anything important, your family's jyotishi comes first.

Your day: Tamil calendar for Tirunelveli

This day and the next

No major observance on this day.

Observance days as Tamil calendars keep them.

Full panchangam

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.
