About this day

Today is Krishna Chaturdasi of Chaitra, holding until 06:19 PM. It is a rikta — "empty" — tithi, one of the three each fortnight that are traditionally set aside for weddings, housewarmings and new ventures.

That does not make it a bad day. Rikta tithis suit exactly what their name suggests: clearing, concluding, settling debts, medical treatment, and finishing what is already under way. The waning chaturdashi is also Masik Shivaratri, kept with a night vigil. The moon is in Ashwini, the first light — quick, healing, impatient to begin until 02:32 AM. Rahu kalam is 12:24 PM–02:02 PM.

The day runs from 05:51 AM to 06:56 PM, 13h 5m of daylight, the yoga is Priti and the karana Vishti, the moon stands in Mesha. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 11:57 AM and 12:50 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.
