Today is Shukla Ekadasi — the eleventh tithi of the shukla fortnight of Kartika, and the fortnightly fasting day kept for Vishnu. The tithi runs until 06:34 AM.
The fast begins at sunrise, 06:44 AM, and is broken tomorrow morning inside the parana window: after sunrise and before dwadashi ends. Grains and pulses are set aside for the whole tithi. The moon is in Uttara Bhadrapada, depth and stillness — wisdom that has stopped struggling until 06:51 AM, and the yoga is Siddhi.
The day runs from 06:44 AM to 05:41 PM, 10h 56m of daylight, the moon stands in Vrischika. Rahu kalam runs 09:28 AM to 10:50 AM, yamagandam 01:35 PM to 02:57 PM, and abhijit muhurta — the window held open to nearly anything — 11:51 AM to 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.
