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 06:13 PM here.

The tithi runs until 08:28 AM, and the moon is in Punarvasu, return and renewal — the light that comes back after the storm until 01:35 AM. Abhijit muhurta is 12:18 PM to 01:02 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 07:07 AM to 06:13 PM, 11h 6m of daylight, the yoga is Vishkambha and the karana Taitila, the moon stands in Makara. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 12:18 PM and 01:02 PM. All of these are computed for India (IST); change the city in the header and they move with it.
