About this day
Today is Shukla Ashtami of Pushya, running until 01:45 PM. Ashtami is the half-moon tithi, when the pull of the sun and the moon is at its most divided, and the tradition places its most intense observances at exactly that point — Durgashtami in the waxing fortnight.
It is a jaya tithi, held to favour contest, resolve and anything requiring nerve, and it is traditionally avoided for weddings. The nakshatra is Ashwini, the first light — quick, healing, impatient to begin, until 11:39 PM. Abhijit muhurta falls 12:15 PM–12:58 PM.
The day runs from 07:10 AM to 06:03 PM, 10h 52m of daylight, the yoga is Siddha and the karana Bava, the moon stands in Makara. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 12:15 PM and 12:58 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.
