About this day
Today is Shukla Ashtami of Phalguna, running until 08:56 AM. 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 Mrigashira, the gentle searcher — always scenting for something better, until 08:13 AM. Abhijit muhurta falls 12:12 PM–01:00 PM.
The day runs from 06:35 AM to 06:36 PM, 12h 1m of daylight, the yoga is Ayushman and the karana Bava, the moon stands in Meena. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 12:12 PM and 01:00 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.
