Samvatsara and month

Nandana (No. 26, “delighting”) — A joyful year: happiness in families, well-being, festivities. more

Northern samvatsara: Vishvavasu. Shaka Samvat 1934, Vikram Samvat 2069, Kali Yuga 5113.

Jyeshtha (Shukra) — The hottest month, a time to honour water and the Ganga: Ganga Dussehra, Nirjala Ekadashi, Vat Purnima. more

Ashadha (Shuchi) — Onset of the rainy season: Ratha Yatra, Devshayani Ekadashi and the start of Chaturmasya, Guru Purnima. more

Amanta — reckoning lunar months from new moon to new moon (South and West India; this calendar shows months this way). Purnimanta — reckoning from full moon to full moon (North India): the bright half of the month (Shukla Paksha) bears the same name in both systems, while the dark half (Krishna Paksha) in purnimanta already belongs to the next month. So, for example, Krishna Janmashtami is “Shravana, Krishna 8” in amanta and “Bhadrapada, Krishna 8” in purnimanta: it is one and the same day.

Times are standard time UTC+3 (from the site settings, without daylight saving time) · panchanga at sunrise (upper limb of the Sun’s disc, with refraction) · ayanamsa Lahiri · place 55°45′ N 37°35′ E · festival dates are calculated for this location by the rules of kala vyapti · times of Sankranti are accurate to within a few minutes

Effects of a haircut according to the Kalaprakashika: Chitra (until 16:39) — improvement of well-being; Swati (from 16:39) — relief from all suffering; Friday — universal respect.

Prohibitions of the day — their times are excluded from the windows for haircuts, shaving and nail cutting:

Vyatipata 03:53–05:18: auspicious undertakings, including haircuts, are avoided during this yoga (according to the Muhurta Chintamani).

Cautions:

Ekadashi: by custom, those who fast on this day do not cut their hair or shave.
Friday: B. V. Raman advises against cutting nails (the rating above is the site’s summary, which uses the same weekdays for nails as for haircuts, so Friday counts as auspicious).

Haircut and shaving

Cutting hair, shaving: no suitable window — see the prohibitions below

Windows are the best daytime hours according to the site’s summary rating, excluding the times of the day’s prohibitions (see below).

Cutting hair, shaving	no suitable window — see the prohibitions below
Cutting fingernails, cutting toenails	no suitable window — see the prohibitions below
Bathing, washing hair	average 13:04–21:05

Haircut factors: weekday Sunday; nakshatra Vishakha until 11:21, Anuradha from 11:21; tithi Shukla-chaturdashi until 17:47, Purnima from 17:47; lagna Vrishabha 03:51, Mithuna 04:39, Karka 07:05, Simha 10:03, Kanya 13:04, Tula 16:04, Vrischika 19:06

Effects of a haircut according to the Kalaprakashika: Vishakha (until 11:21) — loss of money; Anuradha (from 11:21) — loss of money. In general Anuradha is favourable, but not for the very first shaving, cutting or trimming of hair (“vapanam”); Sunday — physical well-being.

Prohibitions of the day — their times are excluded from the windows for haircuts, shaving and nail cutting:

Shukla-chaturdashi 03:51–17:47: a Rikta and Parva tithi — haircuts and shaving are postponed (according to the Muhurta Chintamani and the Kalaprakashika).
Purnima 17:47–21:05: a Parva tithi — haircuts and shaving are postponed (according to the Muhurta Chintamani).

Cautions:

The Muhurta Chintamani warns: whoever shaves in Anuradha nakshatra 3 times a year puts their life in danger — frequent haircuts in this nakshatra are best avoided.

Effects of a haircut according to the Kalaprakashika: Shravana — bodily development (physical growth); Friday — universal respect.

Cautions:

Krishna Paksha: according to the Kalaprakashika, a haircut during the waning Moon affects life (longevity) and fortune, but the first five tithis of Krishna Paksha are favourable; hair grows thicker if cut during the waxing Moon (M. V. Ramakrishnan, as quoted by B. V. Raman).
Friday: B. V. Raman advises against cutting nails (the rating above is the site’s summary, which uses the same weekdays for nails as for haircuts, so Friday counts as auspicious).

Haircut factors: weekday Wednesday; nakshatra Uttara-Bhadra until 04:30, Revati from 04:30; tithi Krishna-navami until 03:57, Krishna-dashami from 03:57; lagna Vrishabha 03:45, Mithuna 03:59, Karka 06:26, Simha 09:24, Kanya 12:25, Tula 15:25, Vrischika 18:26, Dhanu 21:10

Effects of a haircut according to the Kalaprakashika: Uttara-Bhadra (until 04:30) — a good life; Revati (from 04:30) — increase in property; Wednesday — favour of the authorities.

Prohibitions of the day — their times are excluded from the windows for haircuts, shaving and nail cutting:

Krishna-navami 03:45–03:57: a Rikta tithi — haircuts and shaving are not advised (according to the Muhurta Chintamani and the Kalaprakashika).
Bhadra on earth 17:00–21:14: no shaving or haircuts during Vishti Karana (according to the Muhurta Chintamani, Bhadra does harm when it is on earth; in heaven and in the netherworld its influence on earth is weak).

Cautions:

Krishna Paksha: according to the Kalaprakashika, a haircut during the waning Moon affects life (longevity) and fortune, but the first five tithis of Krishna Paksha are favourable; hair grows thicker if cut during the waxing Moon (M. V. Ramakrishnan, as quoted by B. V. Raman).

Haircut and shaving

Cutting hair, shaving: bad throughout the daytime

Windows are the best daytime hours according to the site’s summary rating, excluding the times of the day’s prohibitions (see below).

Cutting hair, shaving	bad throughout the daytime
Cutting fingernails, cutting toenails	bad throughout the daytime
Bathing, washing hair	average 03:44–09:08, 12:09–13:45, 16:34–20:55

Haircut factors: weekday Sunday; nakshatra Krittika until 16:34, Rohini from 16:34; tithi Krishna-trayodashi until 13:45, Krishna-chaturdashi from 13:45; lagna Mithuna 03:44, Karka 06:10, Simha 09:08, Kanya 12:09, Tula 15:09, Vrischika 18:11, Dhanu 20:55

Effects of a haircut according to the Kalaprakashika: Krittika (until 16:34) — consumption (a wasting disease); Rohini (from 16:34) — destruction of all misfortunes; Sunday — physical well-being.

Prohibitions of the day — their times are excluded from the windows for haircuts, shaving and nail cutting:

Krishna-chaturdashi 13:45–21:16: a Rikta and Parva tithi — haircuts and shaving are postponed (according to the Muhurta Chintamani and the Kalaprakashika).

Cautions:

The Muhurta Chintamani warns: whoever shaves in Krittika nakshatra 6 times a year puts their life in danger — frequent haircuts in this nakshatra are best avoided.
The Muhurta Chintamani warns: whoever shaves in Rohini nakshatra 8 times a year puts their life in danger — frequent haircuts in this nakshatra are best avoided.
Krishna Paksha: according to the Kalaprakashika, a haircut during the waning Moon affects life (longevity) and fortune, but the first five tithis of Krishna Paksha are favourable; hair grows thicker if cut during the waxing Moon (M. V. Ramakrishnan, as quoted by B. V. Raman).

Effects of a haircut according to the Kalaprakashika: Vishakha (until 20:45) — loss of money; Anuradha (from 20:45) — loss of money. In general Anuradha is favourable, but not for the very first shaving, cutting or trimming of hair (“vapanam”); Saturday — decline of physical strength.

Cautions:

Ekadashi: by custom, those who fast on this day do not cut their hair or shave.
The Muhurta Chintamani warns: whoever shaves in Anuradha nakshatra 3 times a year puts their life in danger — frequent haircuts in this nakshatra are best avoided.

Jyeshtha (Vedic name Shukra) — The hottest month, a time to honour water and the Ganga: Ganga Dussehra, Nirjala Ekadashi, Vat Purnima.
Patron: Trivikrama; Aditya — Mitra. Full moon in nakshatra Jyeshtha. Ritu: Grishma.

Amanta and purnimanta
Amanta — reckoning lunar months from new moon to new moon (South and West India; this calendar shows months this way). Purnimanta — reckoning from full moon to full moon (North India): the bright half of the month (Shukla Paksha) bears the same name in both systems, while the dark half (Krishna Paksha) in purnimanta already belongs to the next month. So, for example, Krishna Janmashtami is “Shravana, Krishna 8” in amanta and “Bhadrapada, Krishna 8” in purnimanta: it is one and the same day.

Nandana (No. 26 of 60, “delighting”) — A joyful year: happiness in families, well-being, festivities.
Northern samvatsara: Vishvavasu (No. 39)
Shaka Samvat 1934 · Vikram Samvat 2069 · Kali Yuga 5113
Next year — Vijaya, from the new moon before Ugadi (the start of Chaitra) 10.04.2013
In South India (Shaka Samvat, lunar reckoning) the years of the 60-year cycle follow one another without a break, and the name of the year changes at Ugadi — at the start of Chaitra, on the first tithi of the bright half.

Shukla-ekadashi (11, waxing Moon)

Vyatipata (17) — “calamity, downfall”
One of the two most inauspicious yogas: worldly undertakings are not begun in it at all. It is, however, very good for holy baths, dana, japa and ancestor rites.
A nitya yoga is one of the 27 segments of the sum of the sidereal longitudes of the Sun and the Moon (each spanning 13 degrees 20 minutes of arc). Nine yogas are inauspicious: Vishkambha, Atiganda, Shula, Ganda, Vyaghata, Vajra, Parigha and especially Vyatipata and Vaidhriti; the rest are auspicious.

Vishti (movable)
Deity: Yama
Bhadra — the most inauspicious karana: weddings, journeys, purchases and any auspicious undertakings are avoided during it. It suits only harsh deeds: fighting enemies, demolition, removing obstacles.
A karana is half a tithi; there are 60 of them in a lunar month.

Shukra vara — Venus Day
Lord: Venus
All manifestations of beauty and harmony find their support and development on this day, therefore, most worldly and spiritual affairs that do not rely on brute force are good to begin or implement at this time. The day is especially good for marriage, hiring workers, building relationships, creativity, music, singing, dancing, poetry and holding holidays or performances, it is best to schedule a romantic date at this time - it will add additional shine to decorations and a special aroma to flowers, and tact to the owners of all this.

Dawn

Gardener’s calendar
Garden tasks are rated as in the site’s “Lunar calendar for gardeners” section: the weekday, nakshatra and tithi are taken into account; starting from a base score of 3, each factor adds one point if favourable or subtracts one if unfavourable; total score 0–6: 0–2 — bad, 3–4 — average, 5–6 — good. The table shows the rating at sunrise and after each change of nakshatra or tithi during the daytime (“from HH:MM”); the icons next to the sunrise rating show the contribution of the weekday, nakshatra and tithi at sunrise: “+” (green) adds one point, “0” (yellow) has no effect, “–” (red) subtracts one.

The ratings are the site author’s summary of the Indian and Tibetan traditions. Classical texts on agriculture: the Kalaprakashika (ch. XIX–XX, English translation by N. P. Subramania Iyer, 1917), B. V. Raman’s Muhurtha (ch. XIII), the Brihat Samhita of Varahamihira (ch. 55).

Friday — Day of Venus
what to do (Tibetan tradition): planting flowers and trees; digging the ground is not very favorable; do not prune and the like

according to the Indian tradition: Gardening, activities with frequent changes; not suitable for activities aimed at a long-term result (planting or sowing is not allowed).

Siddha Yoga (weekday and tithi)
An auspicious combination of weekday and tithi group: Fri — Nanda (1, 6, 11), Wed — Bhadra (2, 7, 12), Tue — Jaya (3, 8, 13), Sat — Rikta (4, 9, 14), Thu — Purna (5, 10, 15). Brings success; if the same pair also forms an inauspicious yoga, Siddha prevails.

Anandadi: Musala — “pestle, club”
One of the 28 yogas formed jointly by the weekday and the Moon’s nakshatra (counting Abhijit): from the starting nakshatra of the day (Sun — Ashwini, Mon — Mrigashirsha, Tue — Ashlesha, Wed — Hasta, Thu — Anuradha, Fri — Uttara Ashadha, Sat — Shatabhisha) the cycle runs Ananda, Kaladanda, Dhumra and so on. Auspicious yogas support the day’s affairs; inauspicious ones (especially Utpata, Mrityu and Kana) weaken them.

Mrityu Yoga (weekday and tithi)
“Deadly” combination of weekday and tithi group: Sun and Tue — Nanda (1, 6, 11), Mon and Fri — Bhadra (2, 7, 12), Wed — Jaya (3, 8, 13), Thu — Rikta (4, 9, 14), Sat — Purna (5, 10, 15). Portends failure for new undertakings.

Anandadi: Gada — “mace”
One of the 28 yogas formed jointly by the weekday and the Moon’s nakshatra (counting Abhijit): from the starting nakshatra of the day (Sun — Ashwini, Mon — Mrigashirsha, Tue — Ashlesha, Wed — Hasta, Thu — Anuradha, Fri — Uttara Ashadha, Sat — Shatabhisha) the cycle runs Ananda, Kaladanda, Dhumra and so on. Auspicious yogas support the day’s affairs; inauspicious ones (especially Utpata, Mrityu and Kana) weaken them.

Ashubha Yoga (tithi and nakshatra)
An inauspicious combination of tithi and nakshatra (the “empty” nakshatra of a tithi, for example the 6th or 11th tithi with Rohini, the 12th with Ashlesha). Whatever is begun at this time remains without result.

Bhadra
The time of Vishti Karana — halves of the 4th, 8th, 11th and 15th tithis of the bright half and of the 3rd, 7th, 10th and 14th of the dark half of the month. Auspicious activities are not begun during Bhadra; its strength depends on where it resides: on earth it is most harmful, while in heaven or in the netherworld the harm is mitigated (according to a verse of the Muhurta Chintamani, there it even portends good fortune and gain).

The Moon in Kanya, Tula, Dhanu or Makara: Bhadra is in patala (the netherworld) — its influence on earth is weak; according to a verse of the Muhurta Chintamani, it even portends gain.

Bhadra Mukha
“Mouth” of Bhadra — the most dangerous 5 ghatis (2 hours) of Bhadra; nothing important is done at this time.

Bhadra Puchha
“Tail” of Bhadra — the last 3 ghatis (1 h 12 min) of one of its praharas; considered an acceptable time if Bhadra cannot be avoided (for example, for Holika Dahan).

Brahma Muhurta
The penultimate, 14th muhurta of the night: it begins about an hour and a half before sunrise and lasts about 48 minutes. The best time for meditation, prayer, japa and study.

Abhijit Muhurta
The 8th of the 15 daytime muhurtas, around true noon (about 48 minutes). The “invincible” time, suitable for almost any new undertaking — except on Wednesdays.

Vijaya Muhurta
The 11th daytime muhurta, the “time of victory”: good for journeys, contests and decisive action; the main time of Vijayadashami.

Godhuli
“Dust from the hooves” — about 24 minutes right after sunset, when the cows return from pasture. An auspicious time for weddings and evening rites.

Pradosha
The first fifth of the night after sunset (three night muhurtas, about 2.5 hours). The time for worshipping Shiva, lighting the Diwali diyas and performing Holika Dahan.

Nishitha
Midnight — the 8th muhurta of the night. The decisive time for Maha Shivaratri, Krishna Janmashtami and Kali Puja.

Amrita Kalam
“Time of nectar” — about an hour and a half within each nakshatra, favourable for any new undertaking and mitigating inauspicious factors.

Rahu Kalam
One-eighth of the daytime ruled by Rahu (a different segment for each weekday). No new work, journeys or deals are started; whatever was begun earlier may be continued.

How it is calculated: following the South Indian tradition (Tamil Nadu, Kerala), as Drik Panchang does — the daytime from sunrise to sunset (upper limb of the disc, with refraction) is divided into 8 parts, and Rahu Kalam is part 4 (Mon 2, Sat 3, Fri 4, Wed 5, Thu 6, Tue 7, Sun 8).
Another tradition — Kala Vela: the eighth parts of the daytime belong to the planets in weekday order starting from the lord of the day, while the eighth part, the last before sunset, is “empty”, without a lord; in this tradition it is given to Rahu — today {y} (on Sundays it coincides with the calculation above).
Yet another tradition — printed panchangas: a nominal day of 6:00–18:00, so Rahu Kalam always falls at the same clock time — today 10:30–12:00; if the nominal 6:00–18:00 day is counted in local mean time — 10:59–12:29 by the clock. Far from India this is a rough approximation.
Using the rising and setting of the centre of the disc without refraction (old Siddhantic panchangas): {x}.
At night Rahu Kalam is usually not reckoned (the translator of the Kalaprakashika, 1917: “it occurs only in the daytime”); a few divide the night into 8 parts as well, but there is no generally accepted order of the night parts. In North India, Choghadiya is more often consulted to choose the hour.

Yamaganda
One-eighth of the daytime associated with Yama: unfavourable for new undertakings and journeys.

How it is calculated: the eighths of the daytime belong to the planets in weekday order, starting from the lord of the day; Yamaganda (Yamaghantaka) is Jupiter’s portion, today part 7. According to the printed tables (nominal day 6:00–18:00) — 15:00–16:30.

Gulika Kalam
One-eighth of the daytime ruled by Gulika (the son of Saturn). Whatever is begun at this time tends to repeat, so funerals are not held and loans are not taken during Gulika; important new undertakings are usually avoided.

How it is calculated: Saturn’s portion among the eighths of the daytime (planets in weekday order, starting from the lord of the day), today part 2. According to the printed tables (nominal day 6:00–18:00) — 07:30–09:00. According to a note by the translator of the Kalaprakashika, Gulika is not considered inauspicious: it is even good for reaping, gathering grain, trade, medical treatment, repaying debts and a number of other activities; the view that whatever is begun during Gulika will repeat itself is a popular (mainly Tamil) belief.

Dur Muhurta
An inauspicious muhurta (about 48 minutes) — one or two per day, specific to each weekday. It is avoided for new undertakings, journeys and deals.

Varjyam
“Rejected” time — about an hour and a half within each nakshatra (4 ghatis of 60, starting from a ghati specific to that nakshatra). Unfavourable for new undertakings.

Rules and sources
Classical rules: have a haircut or shave in the daytime, preferably before noon — not at night or at twilight; not after eating, bathing or anointing the body with oil; not on the day of setting out on a journey; not when one’s wife is pregnant; not on one’s birth nakshatra or the 10th and 19th nakshatras from it, and not during Chandrashtama (the Moon in the 8th sign from the natal Moon).

Rahu Kalam
One-eighth of the daytime ruled by Rahu (a different segment for each weekday). No new work, journeys or deals are started; whatever was begun earlier may be continued.

How it is calculated: following the South Indian tradition (Tamil Nadu, Kerala), as Drik Panchang does — the daytime from sunrise to sunset (upper limb of the disc, with refraction) is divided into 8 parts, and Rahu Kalam is part 3 (Mon 2, Sat 3, Fri 4, Wed 5, Thu 6, Tue 7, Sun 8).

Rahu Kalam
One-eighth of the daytime ruled by Rahu (a different segment for each weekday). No new work, journeys or deals are started; whatever was begun earlier may be continued.

How it is calculated: following the South Indian tradition (Tamil Nadu, Kerala), as Drik Panchang does — the daytime from sunrise to sunset (upper limb of the disc, with refraction) is divided into 8 parts, and Rahu Kalam is part 8 (Mon 2, Sat 3, Fri 4, Wed 5, Thu 6, Tue 7, Sun 8).
Another tradition — Kala Vela: the eighth parts of the daytime belong to the planets in weekday order starting from the lord of the day, while the eighth part, the last before sunset, is “empty”, without a lord; in this tradition it is given to Rahu — today {y} (on Sundays it coincides with the calculation above).
Yet another tradition — printed panchangas: a nominal day of 6:00–18:00, so Rahu Kalam always falls at the same clock time — today 16:30–18:00; if the nominal 6:00–18:00 day is counted in local mean time — 16:59–18:29 by the clock. Far from India this is a rough approximation.
Using the rising and setting of the centre of the disc without refraction (old Siddhantic panchangas): {x}.
At night Rahu Kalam is usually not reckoned (the translator of the Kalaprakashika, 1917: “it occurs only in the daytime”); a few divide the night into 8 parts as well, but there is no generally accepted order of the night parts. In North India, Choghadiya is more often consulted to choose the hour.

How it is calculated: the eighths of the daytime belong to the planets in weekday order, starting from the lord of the day; Yamaganda (Yamaghantaka) is Jupiter’s portion, today part 5. According to the printed tables (nominal day 6:00–18:00) — 12:00–13:30.

One-eighth of the daytime ruled by Gulika (the son of Saturn). Whatever is begun at this time tends to repeat, so funerals are not held and loans are not taken during Gulika; important new undertakings are usually avoided.

How it is calculated: Saturn’s portion among the eighths of the daytime (planets in weekday order, starting from the lord of the day), today part 7. According to the printed tables (nominal day 6:00–18:00) — 15:00–16:30. According to a note by the translator of the Kalaprakashika, Gulika is not considered inauspicious: it is even good for reaping, gathering grain, trade, medical treatment, repaying debts and a number of other activities; the view that whatever is begun during Gulika will repeat itself is a popular (mainly Tamil) belief.

Favorable for any daily activities related to water, food, housing, women, trade, hotels, utilities, etc. You can carry out a wide variety of earthworks, both gardening and construction; preparing food, getting a haircut, doing treatment, decorating, building relationships, getting married and hiring.

The exact opposition of the Sun and the Moon: the Moon is at full strength. A time for fasts, pujas and charity.

Lunar eclipse, partial
The Moon enters the Earth’s shadow (occurs only at full moon). Sutak begins 9 hours (3 praharas) before the eclipse; during it — japa and meditation, afterwards — a holy bath and dana.
Only part of the disc is covered: the Sun’s by the Moon, or the Moon’s by the Earth’s shadow.

The Moon touches the Earth’s penumbra; the dimming is not yet noticeable.

The Moon begins to enter the Earth’s shadow — from this point the eclipse is visible to the naked eye.

Anandadi: Manasa — “thought”
One of the 28 yogas formed jointly by the weekday and the Moon’s nakshatra (counting Abhijit): from the starting nakshatra of the day (Sun — Ashwini, Mon — Mrigashirsha, Tue — Ashlesha, Wed — Hasta, Thu — Anuradha, Fri — Uttara Ashadha, Sat — Shatabhisha) the cycle runs Ananda, Kaladanda, Dhumra and so on. Auspicious yogas support the day’s affairs; inauspicious ones (especially Utpata, Mrityu and Kana) weaken them.

Rahu Kalam
One-eighth of the daytime ruled by Rahu (a different segment for each weekday). No new work, journeys or deals are started; whatever was begun earlier may be continued.

How it is calculated: following the South Indian tradition (Tamil Nadu, Kerala), as Drik Panchang does — the daytime from sunrise to sunset (upper limb of the disc, with refraction) is divided into 8 parts, and Rahu Kalam is part 2 (Mon 2, Sat 3, Fri 4, Wed 5, Thu 6, Tue 7, Sun 8).
Another tradition — Kala Vela: the eighth parts of the daytime belong to the planets in weekday order starting from the lord of the day, while the eighth part, the last before sunset, is “empty”, without a lord; in this tradition it is given to Rahu — today {y} (on Sundays it coincides with the calculation above).
Yet another tradition — printed panchangas: a nominal day of 6:00–18:00, so Rahu Kalam always falls at the same clock time — today 07:30–09:00; if the nominal 6:00–18:00 day is counted in local mean time — 07:59–09:29 by the clock. Far from India this is a rough approximation.
Using the rising and setting of the centre of the disc without refraction (old Siddhantic panchangas): {x}.
At night Rahu Kalam is usually not reckoned (the translator of the Kalaprakashika, 1917: “it occurs only in the daytime”); a few divide the night into 8 parts as well, but there is no generally accepted order of the night parts. In North India, Choghadiya is more often consulted to choose the hour.

Yamaganda
One-eighth of the daytime associated with Yama: unfavourable for new undertakings and journeys.

How it is calculated: the eighths of the daytime belong to the planets in weekday order, starting from the lord of the day; Yamaganda (Yamaghantaka) is Jupiter’s portion, today part 4. According to the printed tables (nominal day 6:00–18:00) — 10:30–12:00.

Gulika Kalam
One-eighth of the daytime ruled by Gulika (the son of Saturn). Whatever is begun at this time tends to repeat, so funerals are not held and loans are not taken during Gulika; important new undertakings are usually avoided.

How it is calculated: Saturn’s portion among the eighths of the daytime (planets in weekday order, starting from the lord of the day), today part 6. According to the printed tables (nominal day 6:00–18:00) — 13:30–15:00. According to a note by the translator of the Kalaprakashika, Gulika is not considered inauspicious: it is even good for reaping, gathering grain, trade, medical treatment, repaying debts and a number of other activities; the view that whatever is begun during Gulika will repeat itself is a popular (mainly Tamil) belief.
