Today is Shukla Navami of Vaishakha, holding until 06:31 PM. 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 Ashlesha, the coiled serpent — penetrating insight, and the power to entwine until 08:05 PM. Rahu kalam is 09:12 AM–10:48 AM.
The day runs from 05:58 AM to 06:52 PM, 12h 54m of daylight, the yoga is Ganda and the karana Balava, the moon stands in Mesha. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 11:59 AM 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.
