About this day

Today is Krishna Chavithi, the chaturthi tithi of Vaishakha, running until 07:55 AM. Chaturthi belongs to Ganesha — and the waning chaturthi is kept as Sankashti Chaturthi, a fast held until the moon is sighted late in the evening.

It is a rikta tithi in the muhurta scheme, which is why it is set aside for weddings and journeys while remaining well suited to removing obstacles and to clearing what is finished. The moon is in Mula, down to the root — investigation that does not stop at the surface until 03:54 PM; rahu kalam runs 12:24 PM to 02:02 PM.

The day runs from 05:51 AM to 06:57 PM, 13h 6m of daylight, the yoga is Siddha and the karana Balava, the moon stands in Mesha. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 11:57 AM and 12:50 PM. All of these are computed for India (IST); change the city in the header and they move with it.
