Shastra's reading
Keep new beginnings small on this day.
Vyaghata Yogam runs all day, till 7.44 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. 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.
