Today is Krishna Ashtami of Ashadha, running until 12:25 PM. Ashtami is the half-moon tithi, when the pull of the sun and the moon is at its most divided, and the tradition places its most intense observances at exactly that point — Kalashtami in the waning.
It is a jaya tithi, held to favour contest, resolve and anything requiring nerve, and it is traditionally avoided for weddings. The nakshatra is Revati, safe passage — the last nakshatra, and a kind one, until 04:01 PM. Abhijit muhurta falls 12:05 PM–12:59 PM.
The day runs from 05:47 AM to 07:17 PM, 13h 30m of daylight, the yoga is Atiganda and the karana Kaulava, the moon stands in Mithuna. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 12:05 PM and 12:59 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.
