morning 6.25–7.56night 8.07–9.34

Computed for Vadodara. 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, 6.25 am to 7.56 am is the best of the day.

Bhadra Karanam runs till 2.14 am 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.

Your day

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

This day and the next

No major observance on this day.

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

Full panchangam

For rituals and muhurtham, computed for Vadodara 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.
