Why these dates
Dates for a nichayathartham. The rules are looser than the wedding's — the month blocks and combustion periods still apply, but the nakshatra list is wider and Saturday is not excluded.
Each date above passed every rule for a engagement in our published rule set — the nakshatram and tithi prevailing at sunrise in Melbourne, 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.
