Today is Krishna Chaturdasi of Ashadha, holding until 01:55 AM. It is a rikta — "empty" — tithi, one of the three each fortnight that are traditionally set aside for weddings, housewarmings and new ventures.
That does not make it a bad day. Rikta tithis suit exactly what their name suggests: clearing, concluding, settling debts, medical treatment, and finishing what is already under way. The waning chaturdashi is also Masik Shivaratri, kept with a night vigil. The moon is in Punarvasu, return and renewal — the light that comes back after the storm until 10:10 AM. Rahu kalam is 03:47 PM–05:25 PM.
The day runs from 06:01 AM to 07:02 PM, 13h 1m of daylight, the yoga is Siddhi and the karana Vishti, the moon stands in Karka. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 12:06 PM and 12:58 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.
