Today is Krishna Ashtami of Chaitra, running until 11:19 PM. Ashtami is the half-moon tithi, when the pull of the sun and the moon is at its most divided, and the tradition places its most intense observances at exactly that point — Kalashtami in the waning.
It is a jaya tithi, held to favour contest, resolve and anything requiring nerve, and it is traditionally avoided for weddings. The nakshatra is Purva Ashadha, the invincible — conviction that will not be argued down, until 11:28 AM. Abhijit muhurta falls 12:03 PM–12:53 PM.
The day runs from 06:11 AM to 06:46 PM, 12h 35m of daylight, the yoga is Shiva and the karana Balava, the moon stands in Meena. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 12:03 PM and 12:53 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.
