Today is Krishna Chaturdasi of Bhadrapada, holding until 12:19 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 Magha, the throne — inherited authority and the weight of lineage until 08:06 AM. Rahu kalam is 09:18 AM–10:49 AM.
The day runs from 06:15 AM to 06:25 PM, 12h 10m of daylight, the yoga is Sadhya and the karana Vishti, the moon stands in Kanya. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 11:56 AM and 12:45 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.
