Gold and saffron also suit the day.
Tirupati follows the Telugu Chandramana (amanta) calendar, and Tirumala temple events follow the TTD panchangam.
Well-known temples: Sri Venkateswara Swamy Temple, Tirumala, Sri Padmavathi Ammavari Temple, Tiruchanoor, Sri Kapileswara Swamy Temple.
The annual Srivari Brahmotsavam and Vaikuntha Ekadashi, when the Vaikuntha Dwaram is opened, are the busiest periods at Tirumala, so plan darshan and travel early.
Rahu Kalam is a period of about 90 minutes each day that Hindu tradition considers unsuitable for starting new work. It is one of eight equal parts of the daytime, and its position depends on the weekday.
They are other daily periods traditionally avoided for new beginnings. Yamaganda and Gulika are also one eighth of the daytime each, and Durmuhurtam is one or two short muhurtas that vary by weekday.
