Today is Shukla Ekadasi — the eleventh tithi of the shukla fortnight of Margashira, and the fortnightly fasting day kept for Vishnu. The tithi runs until 08:17 PM.
The fast begins at sunrise, 07:03 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 Ashwini, the first light — quick, healing, impatient to begin until 02:56 PM, and the yoga is Parigha.
The day runs from 07:03 AM to 05:46 PM, 10h 43m of daylight, the moon stands in Dhanus. Rahu kalam runs 04:25 PM to 05:46 PM, yamagandam 12:24 PM to 01:45 PM, and abhijit muhurta — the window held open to nearly anything — 12:03 PM to 12:46 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.
