About this day

Sharad Navaratri (Dasara) falls today. The tithi at sunrise is Shukla Tadiya, running until 01:00 PM, in the month of Ashwina. The moon stands in Vishakha, the forked path — ambition held to a single goal, which holds until 03:13 PM.

The day begins at 07:01 AM and closes at 06:12 PM. Rahu kalam runs 03:24 PM to 04:48 PM, and abhijit muhurta — the window traditionally open to almost anything — falls between 12:14 PM and 12:59 PM. Where a festival has its own prescribed hour, that rule takes precedence over the general reading.

The yoga is Priti and the karana Gara, the moon stands in Kanya. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 12:14 PM and 12:59 PM. All of these are computed for Chicago; change the city in the header and they move with it.

Timings are computed astronomically for the selected city. Printed and regional panchangams can differ, and practice can differ by a day — please confirm important dates with the panchangam your family follows.
