Today is Krishna Chaturdasi of Shravana, holding until 11:58 AM. It is a rikta — "empty" — tithi, one of the three each fortnight that are traditionally set aside for weddings, housewarmings and new ventures.
That does not make it a bad day. Rikta tithis suit exactly what their name suggests: clearing, concluding, settling debts, medical treatment, and finishing what is already under way. The waning chaturdashi is also Masik Shivaratri, kept with a night vigil. The moon is in Ashlesha, the coiled serpent — penetrating insight, and the power to entwine until 12:17 AM. Rahu kalam is 10:54 AM–12:30 PM.
The day runs from 06:06 AM to 06:54 PM, 12h 48m of daylight, the yoga is Variyana and the karana Shakuni, the moon stands in Simha. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 12:04 PM and 12:55 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.
