Shastra's reading

For anything new, 6.01 am to 7.30 am is the best of the day, with the Nalla Neram of 6.15–7.15 am inside it.

Bhadra Karanam runs till 2.09 am Tuesday.

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.

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.
