Today is Krishna Chaturdasi of Ashwina, holding until 03:47 PM. 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 Hasta, skill of hand — craft, dexterity and things well made until 08:17 PM. Rahu kalam is 07:52 AM–09:19 AM.
The day runs from 06:26 AM to 05:57 PM, 11h 31m of daylight, the yoga is Vaidhriti and the karana Shakuni, the moon stands in Tula. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 11:49 AM and 12:35 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.
