Tithi and nakshatram computed for Kumbakonam. 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, 11.57 am to 2.52 pm is the best of the day.

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.

No major observance on this day.

Observance days as Tamil calendars keep them.
