About this day

Today is Krishna Chavithi, the chaturthi tithi of Jyeshtha, running until 03:45 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 Shravana, listening — knowledge received rather than seized until 11:18 AM; rahu kalam runs 12:29 PM to 02:11 PM.

The day runs from 05:42 AM to 07:16 PM, 13h 34m of daylight, the yoga is Vaidhriti and the karana Balava, the moon stands in Mithuna. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 12:02 PM and 12:56 PM. All of these are computed for India (IST); change the city in the header and they move with it.
