About this day

Vinayaka Chaviti (Ganesh Chaturthi) falls today. The tithi at sunrise is Shukla Panchami, running until 04:32 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 10:51 AM.

The day begins at 06:59 AM and closes at 07:41 PM. Rahu kalam runs 04:30 PM to 06:06 PM, and abhijit muhurta — the window traditionally open to almost anything — falls between 12:55 PM and 01:46 PM. Where a festival has its own prescribed hour, that rule takes precedence over the general reading.

The yoga is Indra and the karana Bava, the moon stands in Simha. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 12:55 PM and 01:46 PM. All of these are computed for Dublin; change the city in the header and they move with it.
