About this day

Tuesday, Shukla Dasami of Ashwina, with the tithi running until 03:44 AM. No festival or major vratam falls today — an ordinary day, which is most of them.

Shukla Dasami is a purna — full tithi: Completion and fulfilment. The moon is in Shravana, listening — knowledge received rather than seized, holding until 07:32 AM, and the yoga is Shoola.

The day runs from 07:09 AM to 06:01 PM. Abhijit muhurta — the window centred on solar noon and held open to nearly anything — falls between 12:13 PM and 12:57 PM. Rahu kalam runs 03:18 PM to 04:40 PM.

The moon stands in Tula. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 12:13 PM and 12:57 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.
