Saturday, Shukla Padyami of Vaishakha, with the tithi running until 02:14 PM. No festival or major vratam falls today — an ordinary day, which is most of them.
Shukla Padyami is a nanda — joyful tithi: Celebration and beginnings. The moon is in Ashwini, the first light — quick, healing, impatient to begin, holding until 09:43 AM, and the yoga is Priti.
The day runs from 06:04 AM to 06:49 PM. Abhijit muhurta — the window centred on solar noon and held open to nearly anything — falls between 12:01 PM and 12:52 PM. Rahu kalam runs 09:15 AM to 10:51 AM.
