Frequently asked questions
What is nalla neram?
A method from the Gowri Panchangam that splits the day into eight equal parts and marks each one good or to be avoided. Good work is started in a good part.
How is it calculated?
From your city's own sunrise and sunset, not copied from a book.
Is it different from rahu kalam?
Yes. Nalla neram shows the good parts to start in; rahu kalam is a time to avoid.
