About this day

Gupta Navaratri (Ashadha) falls today. The tithi at sunrise is Shukla Navami, running until 07:06 AM, in the month of Ashadha. The moon stands in Swati, independence — the reed that bends because it is not tied down, which holds until 11:03 PM.

The day begins at 05:53 AM and closes at 07:14 PM. Rahu kalam runs 12:33 PM to 02:13 PM, 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 Sadhya and the karana Balava, 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.
