The moon is full today — Pournami of Margashira, the fifteenth tithi of the waxing fortnight, running until 07:00 AM. The moon stands directly opposite the sun and is fully lit; it rises around sunset, 05:48 PM, and stays up through the night.
Purnima is a purna tithi, one of completion, and the day is traditionally given to vratam, to charity and to the Satyanarayana puja. The nakshatra is Ardra, the storm that clears the air — grief that turns into clarity, until 01:48 AM. Rahu kalam is 01:47 PM to 03:07 PM.
The day runs from 07:05 AM to 05:48 PM, 10h 43m of daylight, the yoga is Shukla and the karana Bava, the moon stands in Dhanus. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 12:05 PM and 12:48 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.
