Tuesday, Shukla Panchami of Vaishakha, with the tithi running until 01:23 AM. No festival or major vratam falls today — an ordinary day, which is most of them.
Shukla Panchami is a purna — full tithi: Completion and fulfilment. The moon is in Mrigashira, the gentle searcher — always scenting for something better, holding until 11:59 PM, and the yoga is Shobhana.
The day runs from 06:01 AM to 06:50 PM. Abhijit muhurta — the window centred on solar noon and held open to nearly anything — falls between 12:00 PM and 12:51 PM. Rahu kalam runs 03:38 PM to 05:14 PM.
The moon stands in Mesha. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 12:00 PM and 12:51 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.
