A Sinhala-language handbook on the selection of auspicious times — nekath — a branch of practice that sits within Sri Lankan astrology. The book sets out how such times are worked out, taking the method step by step and in plain terms rather than assuming the reader already knows the procedure.
It is written for two groups: those studying astrology, and those who already practise it and need the calculations laid out in order. R.H. William, also credited as Ravindra Hettige, is the author. The publisher is M. D. Gunasena & Co. (Pvt) Ltd, a long-established Colombo house.
Please note that the entire text is in Sinhala. There is no English edition or parallel translation, so a reader will need to be comfortable in Sinhala script to use it. For buyers outside Sri Lanka, that is the main thing to weigh before ordering — the subject matter belongs to a tradition in which almost all working literature is published in Sinhala, and this title is part of that body of practical writing.
