Shastra's reading

For anything new, 9.48 am to 11.13 am is the best of the day.

Vishkambha Yogam runs till 8.03 am.

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.
