About this day
Today is Krishna Ashtami of Margashira, running until 03:00 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 Uttara Phalguni, the bond that holds — friendship, contract and kept promises, until 05:51 AM. Abhijit muhurta falls 11:59 AM–12:42 PM.
The day runs from 06:59 AM to 05:43 PM, 10h 44m of daylight, the yoga is Priti and the karana Kaulava, the moon stands in Vrischika. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 11:59 AM and 12:42 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.
