Shastra's reading

Keep new beginnings small on this day.

Ganda Yogam runs all day, till 10.04 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.

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