Occasions
The things a family plans: choosing a muhurtham, the vratams kept through the year, naming a child, shraddha dates and the sankalpam to say.
- What you have kept Your fasts and malas, added up
- The household Star birthdays and thivasam for the family
- Muhurtham Wedding dates in a range, graded like an almanac
- Baby names Names that start with the birth star syllable
- Name to star Which star and pada a given name belongs to
- Shraddha The yearly thivasam by the tithi, not the English date
- Guides Step by step: a wedding date, a baby name, a travel day
- A season at a glance Good days per month across a year, for one occasion
- Sankalpam The ten values a rite names, for a chosen hour
How these work
These are the pages people open with a date in mind and a decision to make. Where a custom differs between communities — and naming, fasting and shraddha differ more than almost anything else — the page names whose custom it is describing rather than flattening them into one.
Everything here is computed on your own device from the birth details you type. Nothing is sent anywhere, and no account is needed for any of it. How the calculations work sets out the arithmetic, and the ayanamsa and the reckoning are yours to choose, because households differ and the app should not pretend otherwise.
