Computed for Calgary, in Mountain time (MDT). Rahu Kalam, Yamagandam and Kuligai from its own sunrise; Gowri Nalla Neram from its sunrise and sunset. Minute times are under Your day.

Shastra's reading

Keep new beginnings small on this day.

Vaidhriti Yogam runs till 9.36 am; Vishkambha Yogam runs till 9.03 am Monday. 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. Daily archanai and worship need no muhurtham. For anything important, your family's jyotishi comes first.

This day and the next

Navaratri begins, kolu is set up and the nine nights of Devi worship begin.

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

Full panchangam

For rituals and muhurtham, computed for Calgary 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.
