Today's Tara and Chandra Balam for Machilipatnam timings, Andhra Pradesh.
Timings may vary slightly based on the place where you live.
Tarabalam is important when moon is close to Amavasya and chandrabalam is more important when moon is close to Pournami.
However for all auspicious beginnings both Tara balam and Chandra Balam have to be considered. Naidhana Tara has to be avoided at any cost.
