Today is Krishna Ashtami of Ashadha, running until 06:55 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 Bharani, bearing and restraint — the discipline that carries a thing to term, until 08:14 PM. Abhijit muhurta falls 12:07 PM–12:59 PM.
The day runs from 05:59 AM to 07:06 PM, 13h 6m of daylight, the yoga is Ganda and the karana Balava, the moon stands in Karka. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 12:07 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.
