Purohit bookings in Chennai are coming soon.
The panchang below is calculated for Chennai’s own sunrise and sky. Today we arrange Purohits in Bengaluru and Mysuru; text us on WhatsApp if you need one elsewhere.
Inauspicious windows are always shown with their reason rather than removed — booking slots inside them are disabled, not hidden.
Rahu Kalam, Yamagandam and Gulika are the day divided into eight equal parts between sunrise and sunset — so they move with the sky over Chennai, not with a national timetable. Today that day runs 06:02 to 17:45 here, which is what places Rahu Kalam at 07:30—08:58. A city an hour's longitude away gets a different answer on the same date.
These are computed windows, offered so you can plan around them. Traditions differ on how much weight each carries, and your own Purohit's reckoning for your family is the one that decides the day.
Worked out for the next 60 days from Chennai's own nakshatra, tithi and Rahu Kalam. Only dates the calculation actually rates highest appear — a ceremony with none in this window is simply not listed. These are the dates themselves; we don't yet perform ceremonies at home in Chennai.
Ashwini is a generally auspicious nakshatra · Purnima is auspicious for most poojas · Monday is considered favourable · An early-morning homa, before the day heats up, is preferred.

We perform ceremonies at home in Bengaluru and Mysuru today, so we can’t promise you a Purohit in Chennai yet. The panchang above is still Chennai's own, and you can text us on WhatsApp to talk a date through.

A calculation, not a ruling. Family tradition, the participants' own nakshatras and the Purohit's judgement all sit above it — bring a date to him rather than treating one as settled.
