About this day
Tuesday, Shukla Shashthi of Shravana, with the tithi running until 05:53 PM. No festival or major vratam falls today — an ordinary day, which is most of them.
Shukla Shashthi is a nanda — joyful tithi: Celebration and beginnings. The moon is in Swati, independence — the reed that bends because it is not tied down, holding until 06:47 AM, and the yoga is Shukla.
The day runs from 06:04 AM to 06:57 PM. Abhijit muhurta — the window centred on solar noon and held open to nearly anything — falls between 12:05 PM and 12:57 PM. Rahu kalam runs 03:44 PM to 05:20 PM.
The moon stands in Simha. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 12:05 PM and 12:57 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.
