About this day
Today is Shukla Ashtami of Chaitra, running until 03:26 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 Punarvasu, return and renewal — the light that comes back after the storm, until 10:52 AM. Abhijit muhurta falls 12:02 PM–12:53 PM.
The day runs from 06:08 AM to 06:47 PM, 12h 40m of daylight, the yoga is Sukarma and the karana Bava, the moon stands in Meena. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 12:02 PM and 12:53 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.
