Today is Shukla Chaturdasi of Vaishakha, holding until 04:05 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 moon is in Swati, independence — the reed that bends because it is not tied down until 12:19 PM. Rahu kalam is 12:23 PM–02:03 PM.
The day runs from 05:44 AM to 07:03 PM, 13h 19m of daylight, the yoga is Variyana and the karana Vanija, the moon stands in Vrishabha. 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 and cross-referenced against the traditional panchangams in common use. Regional practice can differ by a day — please confirm important dates with the panchangam your family follows.
