Today is Amavasya, the new moon of Shravana and the last tithi of the lunar month, running until 11:38 AM. The moon shares the sun's longitude and is not visible; the sky tonight is the darkest of the month.
The day belongs to the ancestors. Tarpana and shraddha are performed on it, and it is traditionally kept quietly rather than used for new beginnings — no weddings, no housewarmings, no ventures started. The nakshatra is Magha, the throne — inherited authority and the weight of lineage until 12:55 AM. Sunrise was 06:06 AM.
The day runs from 06:06 AM to 06:53 PM, 12h 47m of daylight, the yoga is Parigha and the karana Naga, the moon stands in Simha. Rahu kalam runs 09:18 AM to 10:53 AM, yamagandam 02:05 PM to 03:41 PM, and abhijit muhurta — the window held open to nearly anything — 12:04 PM to 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.
