About this day

Today is Shukla Trayodasi — Pradosham, kept for Shiva. Unlike most observances it is tied to an hour rather than a day: the pradosha kala is the roughly hour-and-a-half spanning sunset, which falls at 06:06 PM here.

The tithi runs until 01:14 AM, and the moon is in Mrigashira, the gentle searcher — always scenting for something better until 04:18 PM. Abhijit muhurta is 12:16 PM to 01:00 PM. Because the observance is anchored to sunset, its timing moves with your city — the sunset above is the one to use.

The day runs from 07:10 AM to 06:06 PM, 10h 56m of daylight, the yoga is Indra and the karana Kaulava, the moon stands in Makara. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 12:16 PM and 01:00 PM. All of these are computed for India (IST); change the city in the header and they move with it.
