This day and the next

Deepavali, the Naraka Chaturdasi morning; the oil bath before sunrise.

Amavasai, the new moon; tarpanam for ancestors in many families.

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

Full panchangam

For rituals and muhurtham, computed for Doha 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.
