About this day

Today is Shukla Ekadasi — the eleventh tithi of the shukla fortnight of Vaishakha, and the fortnightly fasting day kept for Vishnu. The tithi runs until 06:19 PM.

The fast begins at sunrise, 05:57 AM, and is broken tomorrow morning inside the parana window: after sunrise and before dwadashi ends. Grains and pulses are set aside for the whole tithi. The moon is in Purva Phalguni, rest, pleasure and creative ease — the reward before the work until 09:19 PM, and the yoga is Dhruva.

The day runs from 05:57 AM to 06:53 PM, 12h 56m of daylight, the moon stands in Mesha. Rahu kalam runs 07:34 AM to 09:11 AM, yamagandam 10:48 AM to 12:25 PM, and abhijit muhurta — the window held open to nearly anything — 11:59 AM to 12:50 PM. All of these are computed for India (IST); change the city in the header and they move with it.
