Shastra's reading

Keep new beginnings small on this day.

Bhadra Karanam runs till 3.45 pm; Shoola Yogam runs till 9.31 am Thursday. 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.

Mahalaya Paksham begins the next day, or on this day in some families. Daily archanai and worship need no muhurtham. For anything important, your family's jyotishi comes first.

No kolam on this sheet: it is a sraddham day.
