Sharad Navaratri (Dasara) falls today. The tithi at sunrise is Shukla Saptami, running until 08:30 AM, in the month of Ashwina. The moon stands in Purva Ashadha, the invincible — conviction that will not be argued down, which holds until 12:50 PM.
The day begins at 06:25 AM and closes at 05:59 PM. Rahu kalam runs 04:32 PM to 05:59 PM, and abhijit muhurta — the window traditionally open to almost anything — falls between 11:49 AM and 12:35 PM. Where a festival has its own prescribed hour, that rule takes precedence over the general reading.
The yoga is Sukarma and the karana Vanija, the moon stands in Tula. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 11:49 AM and 12:35 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.
