Not fully — at the New Delhi reference it does not pass every gate for engagement: Tikshna nakshatra is not among the favoured natures for this act
What makes a date suitable for engagement?
The day's nakshatra nature must suit the activity AND the tithi must not be Rikta, the Moon must not sit in a Ganda-Moola star, and the Nitya-Yoga must not be inauspicious — the Panchanga-Shuddhi gates.
