Shastra's reading

For anything new, 2.26 pm to sunset is the best of the day.

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

No major observance on this day.

Observance days as Tamil calendars keep them, set by Kuwait City's own sunrise, sunset and moonrise.
