About this day

Today is Krishna Trayodasi — Pradosham, kept for Shiva. Unlike most observances it is tied to an hour rather than a day: the pradosha kala is the roughly hour-and-a-half spanning sunset, which falls at 06:14 PM here.

The tithi runs until 12:33 PM, and the moon is in Ashlesha, the coiled serpent — penetrating insight, and the power to entwine until 03:15 PM. Abhijit muhurta is 11:44 AM to 12:32 PM. Because the observance is anchored to sunset, its timing moves with your city — the sunset above is the one to use.

The day runs from 06:02 AM to 06:14 PM, 12h 12m of daylight, the yoga is Shiva and the karana Vanija, the moon stands in Simha. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 11:44 AM and 12:32 PM. All of these are computed for Colombo; change the city in the header and they move with it.
