About this day
Today is Shukla Ashtami of Vaishakha, running until 09:20 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 Ashlesha, the coiled serpent — penetrating insight, and the power to entwine, until 01:41 PM. Abhijit muhurta falls 11:57 AM–12:50 PM.
The day runs from 05:47 AM to 07:00 PM, 13h 13m of daylight, the yoga is Vriddhi 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.
