About this day
Today is Amavasya, the new moon of Kartika and the last tithi of the lunar month, running until 12:19 PM. 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 Vishakha, the forked path — ambition held to a single goal until 10:59 AM. Sunrise was 06:44 AM.
The day runs from 06:44 AM to 05:41 PM, 10h 57m of daylight, the yoga is Shobhana and the karana Naga, the moon stands in Vrischika. Rahu kalam runs 01:34 PM to 02:57 PM, yamagandam 06:44 AM to 08:06 AM, and abhijit muhurta — the window held open to nearly anything — 11:51 AM to 12:34 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.
