Shastra's reading

For anything new, 3.06 pm to sunset is the best of the day, with the Nalla Neram of 4.45–5.45 pm inside it.

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 Kumbakonam, 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.
