Shastra's reading

For anything new, 9.00 am to 10.27 am is the best of the day, with the Nalla Neram of 9.15–10.15 am inside it.

Vyatipata Yogam runs till 7.19 am; Bhadra Karanam runs till 1.08 am Thursday.

Daily archanai and worship need no muhurtham. For anything important, your family's jyotishi comes first.
