Gowri Nalla Neram

morning 10.42–12.08evening 5.56–7.29

Computed for Shimla. Rahu Kalam, Yamagandam and Kuligai from its own sunrise; Gowri Nalla Neram from its sunrise and sunset. Minute times are under Your day.

Shastra's reading

For anything new, 10.42 am to 1.35 pm 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.

No kolam on this sheet: it is Mahalaya Amavasai.

Your day

Computed for Shimla, to the minute. Use these minutes when fixing a muhurtham.
