About this day
Gupta Navaratri (Ashadha) falls today. The tithi at sunrise is Shukla Panchami, running until 03:45 AM, in the month of Ashadha. The moon stands in Purva Phalguni, rest, pleasure and creative ease — the reward before the work, which holds until 06:01 PM.
The day begins at 05:51 AM and closes at 07:15 PM. Rahu kalam runs 09:12 AM to 10:53 AM, and abhijit muhurta — the window traditionally open to almost anything — falls between 12:06 PM and 01:00 PM. Where a festival has its own prescribed hour, that rule takes precedence over the general reading.
The yoga is Variyana and the karana Bava, the moon stands in Karka. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 12:06 PM and 01:00 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.
