Today is Krishna Ashtami of Ashwina, running until 11:12 AM. Ashtami is the half-moon tithi, when the pull of the sun and the moon is at its most divided, and the tradition places its most intense observances at exactly that point — Kalashtami in the waning.
It is a jaya tithi, held to favour contest, resolve and anything requiring nerve, and it is traditionally avoided for weddings. The nakshatra is Punarvasu, return and renewal — the light that comes back after the storm, until 11:55 AM. Abhijit muhurta falls 11:50 AM–12:36 PM.
The day runs from 06:23 AM to 06:02 PM, 11h 39m of daylight, the yoga is Siddha and the karana Kaulava, the moon stands in Kanya. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 11:50 AM and 12:36 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.
