About this day

Today is Shukla Trayodasi — Pradosham, kept for Shiva. Unlike most observances it is tied to an hour rather than a day: the pradosha kala is the roughly hour-and-a-half spanning sunset, which falls at 05:53 PM here.

The tithi runs until 10:25 PM, and the moon is in Rohini, growth and abundance — the most fertile ground in the zodiac until 10:49 PM. Abhijit muhurta is 12:09 PM to 12:52 PM. Because the observance is anchored to sunset, its timing moves with your city — the sunset above is the one to use.

The day runs from 07:08 AM to 05:53 PM, 10h 44m of daylight, the yoga is Shubha and the karana Kaulava, the moon stands in Dhanus. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 12:09 PM and 12:52 PM. All of these are computed for India (IST); change the city in the header and they move with it.
