What is nalla neram?

The good stretches of the day for starting something new. Lumo reads them from the gowri panchangam: the day and the night are each split into eight named slots, five of the eight are good, and the good ones together are the nalla neram.

What if nalla neram and Rahu Kalam overlap?

They are worked out separately, so on some days they do. Each nalla neram above says when one of them falls inside it. For a one-time beginning, like a signing or a first payment, use the part of the nalla neram that is outside Rahu Kalam, Yamagandam and Gulikai.

Is nalla neram the same every day?

No. The slots follow the weekday and the day's real sunrise and sunset, so the times change every day.
