About this day
Today is Shukla Dwadasi, the tithi in which yesterday's Ekadashi fast is broken. The parana must fall after sunrise — 07:03 AM here — and before dwadashi ends at 05:38 PM. Breaking it outside that window is held to lose the merit of the fast.
The moon is in Bharani, bearing and restraint — the discipline that carries a thing to term, holding until 01:10 PM. Abhijit muhurta runs 12:03 PM to 12:46 PM; rahu kalam falls between 08:24 AM and 09:44 AM.
The day runs from 07:03 AM to 05:46 PM, 10h 43m of daylight, the yoga is Siddha and the karana Bava, the moon stands in Dhanus. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 12:03 PM and 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. Printed and regional panchangams can differ, and practice can differ by a day — please confirm important dates with the panchangam your family follows.
