The Sun enters Dhanu

Monday, 16 December 2019

The Sun crosses at 3:27 PM, your local time

The Sun enters Dhanu (Sagittarius), beginning Dhanurmāsa, the month of Margazhi, especially dear to Viṣṇu, kept with early-morning worship and song (the Tiruppāvai). Ordinary auspicious ceremonies are paused for the month.

What is done, Worship before dawn through the month; the Āṇḍāḷ and Tiruppāvai verses are sung in the south.
