About This Event
Karinal (literally "Black Day") is a unique concept found in the solar-based calendars of the South. These are fixed dates in the solar months that are mathematically calculated to be "combust" or highly inauspicious. Unlike Rahu Kaal, which happens every day for a few hours, a Karinal lasts the entire day. People in Tamil Nadu and Kerala strictly avoid conducting weddings, housewarmings, or signing new contracts on these days.
