Shastra's reading
Keep new beginnings small on this day.
Ganda Yogam runs all day, till 12.48 am Saturday; Bhadra Karanam runs till 10.18 pm. 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.
This is Purattasi, when many families do not hold weddings or griha pravesam. 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.
