About this day
Today is Shukla Chaturdasi of Vaishakha, holding until 09:16 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 Chitra, the made thing that shines — design, form and brilliance until 02:17 AM. Rahu kalam is 02:02 PM–03:39 PM.
The day runs from 05:55 AM to 06:54 PM, 12h 59m of daylight, the yoga is Vajra and the karana Gara, the moon stands in Mesha. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 11:58 AM and 12:50 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. Printed and regional panchangams can differ, and practice can differ by a day — please confirm important dates with the panchangam your family follows.
