About this day

Gupta Navaratri (Ashadha) falls today. The tithi at sunrise is Shukla Panchami, running until 04:10 PM, in the month of Ashadha. The moon stands in Purva Phalguni, rest, pleasure and creative ease — the reward before the work, which holds until 12:19 AM.

The day begins at 05:47 AM and closes at 07:17 PM. Rahu kalam runs 02:13 PM to 03:54 PM, and abhijit muhurta — the window traditionally open to almost anything — falls between 12:05 PM and 12:59 PM. Where a festival has its own prescribed hour, that rule takes precedence over the general reading.

The yoga is Vyatipata and the karana Balava, the moon stands in Mithuna. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 12:05 PM and 12:59 PM. All of these are computed for India (IST); change the city in the header and they move with it.
