About this day

Today is Krishna Trayodasi — Pradosham, kept for Shiva. Unlike most observances it is tied to an hour rather than a day: the pradosha kala is the roughly hour-and-a-half spanning sunset, which falls at 06:54 PM here.

The tithi runs until 12:47 PM, and the moon is in Pushya, the most auspicious of the twenty-seven — nourishment itself until 12:09 AM. Abhijit muhurta is 12:04 PM to 12:56 PM. Because the observance is anchored to sunset, its timing moves with your city — the sunset above is the one to use.

The day runs from 06:05 AM to 06:54 PM, 12h 49m of daylight, the yoga is Vyatipata and the karana Vanija, the moon stands in Simha. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 12:04 PM and 12:56 PM. All of these are computed for India (IST); change the city in the header and they move with it.
