GRAHANA DAY?

• Kalan is grabbed by Raahu and Ketu (probably the crab symbols indicate the Grahana day here). The symbol of twin snakes joined to form “U” shape indicates the Aslesha month.

• It can be seen that there is a quotation mark between snakes which specify that it means a month.

• This fish symbol does not mean a month here. Most probably it stands for “fish day” (27th day in the moon calendar).

• The last sign “U” symbol as usual means “the day”
