Friday, Krishna Shashthi of Vaishakha, with the tithi running until 12:25 PM. No festival or major vratam falls today — an ordinary day, which is most of them.
Krishna Shashthi is a nanda — joyful tithi: Celebration and beginnings. The moon is in Uttara Ashadha, the final victory — the one that lasts because it was earned, holding until 09:20 PM, and the yoga is Shubha.
The day runs from 05:49 AM to 06:58 PM. Abhijit muhurta — the window centred on solar noon and held open to nearly anything — falls between 11:57 AM and 12:50 PM. Rahu kalam runs 10:45 AM to 12:24 PM.
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.
