About this day
Sharad Navaratri (Dasara) falls today. The tithi at sunrise is Shukla Saptami, running until 10:00 PM, in the month of Ashwina. The moon stands in Purva Ashadha, the invincible — conviction that will not be argued down, which holds until 02:20 AM.
The day begins at 07:05 AM and closes at 06:06 PM. Rahu kalam runs 09:50 AM to 11:13 AM, and abhijit muhurta — the window traditionally open to almost anything — falls between 12:14 PM and 12:58 PM. Where a festival has its own prescribed hour, that rule takes precedence over the general reading.
The yoga is Atiganda and the karana Gara, the moon stands in Kanya. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 12:14 PM and 12:58 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.
