About this day
Today is Krishna Ashtami of Kartika, running until 11:01 PM. 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 Ashlesha, the coiled serpent — penetrating insight, and the power to entwine, until 06:36 PM. Abhijit muhurta falls 11:49 AM–12:33 PM.
The day runs from 06:39 AM to 05:43 PM, 11h 5m of daylight, the yoga is Shukla and the karana Balava, the moon stands in Tula. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 11:49 AM and 12:33 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. Printed and regional panchangams can differ, and practice can differ by a day — please confirm important dates with the panchangam your family follows.
