Dosha effect
Vata -1 · Pitta -1 · Kapha ±0(−2 pacifies · +2 aggravates)
Pacifies vata entering evening kala; tivra Ma gives a calm, elevated mood that also gently cools pitta.
On Venus: Sandhya-kala raga traditionally linked to Shukra (Venus) in the raga-ragini tradition — romantic, devotional, uplifting.
