About this day

The moon is full today — Pournami of Magha, the fifteenth tithi of the waxing fortnight, running until 03:42 AM. The moon stands directly opposite the sun and is fully lit; it rises around sunset, 06:14 PM, and stays up through the night.

Purnima is a purna tithi, one of completion, and the day is traditionally given to vratam, to charity and to the Satyanarayana puja. The nakshatra is Pushya, the most auspicious of the twenty-seven — nourishment itself, until 11:59 PM. Rahu kalam is 04:51 PM to 06:14 PM.

The day runs from 07:07 AM to 06:14 PM, 11h 7m of daylight, the yoga is Priti and the karana Vishti, the moon stands in Makara. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 12:18 PM and 01:03 PM. All of these are computed for India (IST); change the city in the header and they move with it.
