It also explains ritual timings, weekday and tithi classifications, Yoginīcakra, travel omens, and calendrical calculations related to saṅkrānti and planetary movements. Several sections concern domestic and social rituals, including house construction, initiation rites, commencement of education, marriage-related customs, women’s bathing rites, childbirth rituals, annaprāśana, kṣaurakarma, and karṇavedha.
