Tithi and nakshatram computed for Kanchipuram. Rahu Kalam, Yamagandam, Kuligai, Nalla Neram and Soolam as Tamil calendars print them. Minute times are under Your day.

Shastra's reading

Keep new beginnings small on this day.

Atiganda Yogam runs till 4.30 pm; Bhadra Karanam runs till 9.44 pm. No part of the day is clear of every caution. If something cannot wait, prefer the printed Nalla Neram 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.


Shastra

Your day

Computed for Kanchipuram, to the minute. Use the printed times on the sheet for daily life; use these minutes when fixing a muhurtham. Where they differ, the printed time is shown in brackets.

Observance days as Tamil calendars keep them.
