About this day
Gupta Navaratri (Magha) falls today. The tithi at sunrise is Shukla Vidiya, running until 02:45 AM, in the month of Magha. The moon stands in Shravana, listening — knowledge received rather than seized, which holds until 01:07 PM.
The day begins at 07:10 AM and closes at 06:06 PM. Rahu kalam runs 03:22 PM to 04:44 PM, and abhijit muhurta — the window traditionally open to almost anything — falls between 12:16 PM and 01:00 PM. Where a festival has its own prescribed hour, that rule takes precedence over the general reading.
The yoga is Siddhi and the karana Balava, the moon stands in Makara. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 12:16 PM and 01:00 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.
