Shastra's reading

Keep new beginnings small on this day.

Bhadra Karanam runs till 8.52 am; Ganda Yogam runs all day, till 1.51 am Tuesday. No part of the day is clear of every caution. If something cannot wait, prefer the printed Nalla Neram and ask your family's jyotishi.

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

Shastra

Your day

Computed for Rameswaram, 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.
