Today is Krishna Ashtami of Vaishakha, running until 08:23 AM. 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 — Kalashtami in the waning.
It is a jaya tithi, held to favour contest, resolve and anything requiring nerve, and it is traditionally avoided for weddings. The nakshatra is Shatabhisha, the hundred healers — solitary, unconventional, curative, until 09:43 AM. Abhijit muhurta falls 11:57 AM–12:51 PM.
The day runs from 05:41 AM to 07:07 PM, 13h 26m of daylight, the yoga is Vishkambha and the karana Kaulava, the moon stands in Vrishabha. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 11:57 AM and 12:51 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.
