About this day

Today is Krishna Chavithi, the chaturthi tithi of Pushya, running until 06:03 AM. Chaturthi belongs to Ganesha — and the waning chaturthi is kept as Sankashti Chaturthi, a fast held until the moon is sighted late in the evening.

It is a rikta tithi in the muhurta scheme, which is why it is set aside for weddings and journeys while remaining well suited to removing obstacles and to clearing what is finished. The moon is in Uttara Phalguni, the bond that holds — friendship, contract and kept promises until 12:07 AM; rahu kalam runs 03:25 PM to 04:47 PM.

The day runs from 07:09 AM to 06:10 PM, 11h 1m of daylight, the yoga is Atiganda and the karana Balava, the moon stands in Makara. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 12:17 PM and 01:01 PM. All of these are computed for India (IST); change the city in the header and they move with it.
