Today is Shukla Chaturdasi of Margashira, holding until 08:40 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 moon is in Krittika, the cutting flame — purification that does not flatter until 02:55 PM. Rahu kalam is 01:38 PM–02:59 PM.
The day runs from 06:53 AM to 05:41 PM, 10h 47m of daylight, the yoga is Shiva and the karana Vanija, the moon stands in Vrischika. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 11:55 AM and 12:39 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.
