Gowri Panchangam (Nalla Neram)
Gowri Panchangam, also called Gowri Nalla Neram, is the Tamil way of choosing a good time. The day and the night are each divided into eight periods, from Amirdha (nectar) to Visham (poison). Choose your city to see today’s good and bad times.
How Gowri Panchangam works
Like Choghadiya in North India, Gowri Panchangam divides daytime (sunrise to sunset) and night (sunset to next sunrise) into eight equal parts. Each weekday has its own sequence. Amirdha, Uthi, Laabam, Dhanam and Sugam are considered good; Soram, Rogam and Visham are traditionally avoided for new work. We follow the sequences of the widely used Pambu Panchangam.
