About this day

Gupta Navaratri (Magha) falls today. The tithi at sunrise is Shukla Padyami, running until 02:17 AM, in the month of Magha. The moon stands in Uttara Ashadha, the final victory — the one that lasts because it was earned, which holds until 11:53 AM.

The day begins at 07:10 AM and closes at 06:05 PM. Rahu kalam runs 08:32 AM to 09:54 AM, and abhijit muhurta — the window traditionally open to almost anything — falls between 12:16 PM and 12:59 PM. Where a festival has its own prescribed hour, that rule takes precedence over the general reading.

The yoga is Vajra and the karana Kimstughna, the moon stands in Makara. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 12:16 PM and 12:59 PM. All of these are computed for India (IST); change the city in the header and they move with it.
