For anything new, 7.25 am to 8.50 am is the best of the day.

Atiganda Yogam runs till 12.33 pm Saturday.

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.

This day and the next

No major observance on this day.

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

Full panchangam
