About this day
Today is Shukla Dwadasi, the tithi in which yesterday's Ekadashi fast is broken. The parana must fall after sunrise — 06:04 AM here — and before dwadashi ends at 07:44 AM. Breaking it outside that window is held to lose the merit of the fast.
The moon is in Purva Phalguni, rest, pleasure and creative ease — the reward before the work, holding until 06:06 AM. Abhijit muhurta runs 12:01 PM to 12:52 PM; rahu kalam falls between 05:13 PM and 06:49 PM.
The day runs from 06:04 AM to 06:49 PM, 12h 45m of daylight, the yoga is Dhruva and the karana Balava, the moon stands in Mesha. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 12:01 PM and 12:52 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.
