Udaya

A season at a glance Twelve months of days, counted rather than listed: how many grade excellent, good, fair and one to avoid in each, for an occasion and a place you choose.

Vivaha, the marriage itself.

The grading is the Tamil almanac one: nine wedding months, the seven wedding tithis, the marriage stars, and Mithunam, Kanni and Thulam as the best lagnas. Tuesday and Saturday rule a day out, as no Tamil almanac prints a wedding muhurtham on either. Confirm the chosen day and hour with the family astrologer.

The page opens on the twelve months beginning with this one. Each month is scanned day by day with the same rules the muhurtham finder applies — the Tamil solar month, the weekday, the tithi and star at sunrise, the karana, and for the occasions that carry a lagna rule the rising signs through the day — and the days are counted into the four grades. The counts are what a caterer, a hall or a family planning a season actually needs: not which day is best, but how many good days November holds and whether August holds any at all.
