Today is Shukla Chaturdasi of Chaitra, holding until 07:09 AM. 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 Uttara Phalguni, the bond that holds — friendship, contract and kept promises until 04:18 PM. Rahu kalam is 12:31 PM–02:04 PM.
The day runs from 06:19 AM to 06:42 PM, 12h 23m of daylight, the yoga is Vriddhi and the karana Vanija, the moon stands in Meena. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 12:06 PM and 12:56 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 and cross-referenced against the traditional panchangams in common use. Regional practice can differ by a day — please confirm important dates with the panchangam your family follows.
