Karinaal 2025 - (கரிநாள்) is not best day to do good things because in Karinaal our body organs will be affected if we go in the sun too much on that day as the sun’s radiation will be slightly higher on the days. Damage to the organs, the nature of its function and the state of mind will be affected. On these days it is best that we do not do good things and not go out in the sun.

Karinaal 2025 are inauspicious Nakshatras among the 27 Nakshatrams. Another school of thought states that Karinal is based on days in a Tamil and Malayalam month. It is believed that death taking place on Karinaal is highly inauspicious. These days are avoided for certain auspicious functions. Karinaal is only followed in South India, especially in Tamil Nadu and Kerala by certain communities.
If a person dies on Sravishta (Avittam), Sadhayam (Chathayam), Purvashada (Purattathi), Uttarashada (Uthrittathi) and Revathi then it is believed that within three years a major tragedy will happen in the person̢۪s family. The Shradh, tarpan and other rituals should be strictly followed if a person dies in any of these Nakshatras. All rituals after death should be strictly followed. The above said Nakhshatras are also known as Vasu Panchaka Nakshatras.
Certain other schools of astrology claim that Karinaal is also present if a person dies on Triketta (Kettai), Pooram, Pooradam, Bharani, Ayiliyam, Thiruvathira (Arudhara) and Chothi (Swathi). Here also all rituals after death should be strictly followed.
Another set of calculation is based on dates in Tamil and Malayalam months. These dates are counted as Karinaal.

7, 16, 17 in Aani Masam – Edavam Month
2, 10, 20 in Aadi Masam – Karkidaka Month
