For anything new, 3.49 pm to sunset is the best of the day.

Vajra Yogam runs till 2.18 pm.

This day and the next

No major observance on this day.

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

Full panchangam

For rituals and muhurtham, computed for Gandhinagar 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.
