morning 10.27–12.03evening 6.32–7.55

Shastra's reading

Keep new beginnings small on this day.

Vishkambha Yogam runs all day, till 6.15 am Sunday. No part of the day is clear of every caution. If something cannot wait, prefer a good part of the Gowri Panchangam and ask your family's jyotishi.

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

Your day

Computed for Ayodhya, to the minute. Use these minutes when fixing a muhurtham.

No major observance on this day.

Sunday 23 August: Ekadasi.

Observance days as Tamil calendars keep them, set by Ayodhya's own sunrise, sunset and moonrise.

Full panchangam

For rituals and muhurtham, computed for Ayodhya 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.
