About this day
Today is Shukla Chaturdasi of Margashira, holding until 10:50 AM. It is a rikta — "empty" — tithi, one of the three each fortnight that are traditionally set aside for weddings, housewarmings and new ventures.
That does not make it a bad day. Rikta tithis suit exactly what their name suggests: clearing, concluding, settling debts, medical treatment, and finishing what is already under way. The moon is in Rohini, growth and abundance — the most fertile ground in the zodiac until 07:57 AM. Rahu kalam is 12:26 PM–01:46 PM.
The day runs from 07:04 AM to 05:47 PM, 10h 43m of daylight, the yoga is Shubha and the karana Vanija, the moon stands in Dhanus. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 12:04 PM and 12:47 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.
