About this day
Today is Krishna Chaturdasi of Margashira, holding until 11:17 PM. 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 waning chaturdashi is also Masik Shivaratri, kept with a night vigil. The moon is in Mula, down to the root — investigation that does not stop at the surface until 06:08 AM. Rahu kalam is 12:33 PM–01:53 PM.
The day runs from 07:09 AM to 05:56 PM, 10h 46m of daylight, the yoga is Vriddhi and the karana Vishti, the moon stands in Dhanus. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 12:11 PM and 12:54 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.
