Shastra's reading

For anything new, 2.45 pm to 5.29 pm is the best of the day.

This is Purattasi, when many families do not hold weddings or griha pravesam. It is Mahalaya Paksham, the fortnight for ancestors. 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.
