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

For anything new, 10.31 am to 1.30 pm is the best of the day, with the Nalla Neram of 10.45–11.45 am inside it.

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.

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.
