About this day

Vinayaka Chaviti (Ganesh Chaturthi) falls today. The tithi at sunrise is Shukla Chavithi, running until 07:46 AM, in the month of Bhadrapada. The moon stands in Swati, independence — the reed that bends because it is not tied down, which holds until 03:21 PM.

The day begins at 06:06 AM and closes at 06:27 PM. Rahu kalam runs 03:21 PM to 04:54 PM, and abhijit muhurta — the window traditionally open to almost anything — falls between 11:52 AM and 12:41 PM. Where a festival has its own prescribed hour, that rule takes precedence over the general reading.

The yoga is Indra and the karana Vishti, the moon stands in Simha. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 11:52 AM and 12:41 PM. All of these are computed for Delhi; change the city in the header and they move with it.
