Shastra's reading

For anything new, 4.09 pm to sunset is the best of the day, with the Nalla Neram of 4.45–5.45 pm inside it.

Bhadra Karanam runs till 10.25 am.

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
