Today is Shukla Chavithi, the chaturthi tithi of Jyeshtha, running until 11:10 AM. Chaturthi belongs to Ganesha.
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 Ardra, the storm that clears the air — grief that turns into clarity until 06:13 AM; rahu kalam runs 12:24 PM to 02:03 PM.
The day runs from 05:44 AM to 07:03 PM, 13h 20m of daylight, the yoga is Shoola and the karana Vishti, the moon stands in Vrishabha. 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.
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.
