About this day

Gupta Navaratri (Ashadha) falls today. The tithi at sunrise is Shukla Saptami, running until 04:05 AM, in the month of Ashadha. The moon stands in Hasta, skill of hand — craft, dexterity and things well made, which holds until 07:10 PM.

The day begins at 05:52 AM and closes at 07:14 PM. Rahu kalam runs 07:32 AM to 09:13 AM, and abhijit muhurta — the window traditionally open to almost anything — falls between 12:07 PM and 01:00 PM. Where a festival has its own prescribed hour, that rule takes precedence over the general reading.

The yoga is Shiva and the karana Gara, the moon stands in Karka. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 12:07 PM and 01:00 PM. All of these are computed for India (IST); change the city in the header and they move with it.
