Today is Krishna Dwadasi, the tithi in which yesterday's Ekadashi fast is broken. The parana must fall after sunrise — 07:01 AM here — and before dwadashi ends at 12:00 AM. Breaking it outside that window is held to lose the merit of the fast.
The moon is in Swati, independence — the reed that bends because it is not tied down, holding until 02:10 PM. Abhijit muhurta runs 12:01 PM to 12:44 PM; rahu kalam falls between 03:03 PM and 04:24 PM.
The day runs from 07:01 AM to 05:44 PM, 10h 43m of daylight, the yoga is Atiganda and the karana Kaulava, the moon stands in Dhanus. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 12:01 PM and 12:44 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.
