There will no functions like marriiage, upanayanam, seemnadham, house warming ceremony etc. Also death on a particular kari naal day is considered as inauspicious and the purohits recommend special remedies to mitigate the dosha.. To be more specific there will be kari naal in each Tamil solar month. Kari naal is identified on the basis of a particular tithi meeting particular constellation or star on a particular week day.
