August 1 – 16 is Aadi. By Tamil custom, weddings are not held in that month, so those days have no muhurtham. The days listed above fall in Aavani.
The day list and the lagnam time follow the printed almanac (Vakya panchangam) and are the same for every town in Tamil Nadu. Outside Tamil Nadu or abroad the lagnam can differ, so confirm with your astrologer or purohit.
