Krishna Janmashtami falls today. The tithi at sunrise is Krishna Ashtami, running until 09:37 PM, in the month of Shravana. The moon stands in Bharani, bearing and restraint — the discipline that carries a thing to term, which holds until 06:07 AM.
The day begins at 06:03 AM and closes at 06:59 PM. Rahu kalam runs 09:17 AM to 10:54 AM, and abhijit muhurta — the window traditionally open to almost anything — falls between 12:05 PM and 12:57 PM. Where a festival has its own prescribed hour, that rule takes precedence over the general reading.
The yoga is Vriddhi and the karana Balava, the moon stands in Karka. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 12:05 PM and 12:57 PM. All of these are computed for India (IST); change the city in the header and they move with it.
Timings are computed astronomically for the selected city and cross-referenced against the traditional panchangams in common use. Regional practice can differ by a day — please confirm important dates with the panchangam your family follows.
