Today is Krishna Ashtami of Magha, running until 11:49 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 — Kalashtami in the waning.
It is a jaya tithi, held to favour contest, resolve and anything requiring nerve, and it is traditionally avoided for weddings. The nakshatra is Anuradha, devotion that keeps its shape under pressure, until 01:48 PM. Abhijit muhurta falls 12:16 PM–01:03 PM.
The day runs from 06:50 AM to 06:29 PM, 11h 40m of daylight, the yoga is Harshana and the karana Balava, the moon stands in Kumbha. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 12:16 PM and 01:03 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.
