Tithi and nakshatram computed for Rameswaram. 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, 6.15 am to 12.15 pm is the best of the day, with the Nalla Neram of 7.45–8.45 am inside it.

Vishkambha Yogam runs till 6.15 am; Bhadra Karanam runs till 4.20 am Monday.

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

Ekadasi, a fasting day in many families.

Observance days as Tamil calendars keep them.

Full panchangam

For rituals and muhurtham, computed for Rameswaram by modern astronomical calculation (Drik, Lahiri). A caution's start is rounded down and its end up; a good window's start up and its end down. Underlined words open their meaning.
