Gowri Nalla Neram

morning 10.58–12.26evening 6.21–7.52

Computed for Surat. 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, 3.24 pm to sunset is the best of the day.

This is Purattasi, when many families do not hold weddings or griha pravesam. It is Mahalaya Paksham, the fortnight for ancestors. Daily archanai and worship need no muhurtham. For anything important, your family's jyotishi comes first.

No kolam on this sheet: it is a sraddham day.

Shastra

Your day

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