About this day
Today is Shukla Chaturdasi of Pushya, holding until 06:56 PM. 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 Mrigashira, the gentle searcher — always scenting for something better until 08:05 PM. Rahu kalam is 11:10 AM–12:31 PM.
The day runs from 07:08 AM to 05:53 PM, 10h 45m of daylight, the yoga is Shukla and the karana Gara, 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.
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.
