Why these dates
Dates for a seemantham or valaikappu. Traditionally held in the fifth, seventh or ninth month of pregnancy, so the window is fixed by the pregnancy and the family picks the best date inside it — use the month filter on the page rather than reading the whole year.
Each date above passed every rule for a baby shower in our published rule set — the nakshatram and tithi prevailing at sunrise in London, the weekday, the Tamil month, and where it applies the planetary combustion (moudhyam) periods and eclipse days. The rahu kalam column is a caution rather than a filter: the date can be good and the hour still needs choosing.
