About this day

Today is Krishna Chavithi, the chaturthi tithi of Vaishakha, running until 11:01 PM. Chaturthi belongs to Ganesha — and the waning chaturthi is kept as Sankashti Chaturthi, a fast held until the moon is sighted late in the evening.

It is a rikta tithi in the muhurta scheme, which is why it is set aside for weddings and journeys while remaining well suited to removing obstacles and to clearing what is finished. The moon is in Purva Ashadha, the invincible — conviction that will not be argued down until 10:08 PM; rahu kalam runs 07:23 AM to 09:03 AM.

The day runs from 05:42 AM to 07:05 PM, 13h 23m of daylight, the yoga is Shubha and the karana Bava, 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.
