Today is Krishna Chaturdasi of Bhadrapada, holding until 09:38 PM. 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 Uttara Phalguni, the bond that holds — friendship, contract and kept promises until 09:20 PM. Rahu kalam is 10:46 AM–12:14 PM.
The day runs from 06:21 AM to 06:07 PM, 11h 46m of daylight, the yoga is Brahma and the karana Vishti, the moon stands in Kanya. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 11:51 AM and 12:38 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.
