Today is Krishna Chavithi, the chaturthi tithi of Kartika, running until 06:42 AM. Chaturthi belongs to Ganesha — and the waning chaturthi is kept as Sankashti Chaturthi, a fast held until the moon is sighted late in the evening.
It is a rikta tithi in the muhurta scheme, which is why it is set aside for weddings and journeys while remaining well suited to removing obstacles and to clearing what is finished. The moon is in Punarvasu, return and renewal — the light that comes back after the storm until 12:51 PM; rahu kalam runs 09:32 AM to 10:53 AM.
The day runs from 06:49 AM to 05:40 PM, 10h 51m of daylight, the yoga is Shukla and the karana Balava, the moon stands in Vrischika. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 11:53 AM and 12:36 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.
