About this day

Today is Krishna Ekadasi — the eleventh tithi of the krishna fortnight of Shravana, and the fortnightly fasting day kept for Vishnu. The tithi runs until 05:06 PM.

The fast begins at sunrise, 05:05 AM, and is broken tomorrow morning inside the parana window: after sunrise and before dwadashi ends. Grains and pulses are set aside for the whole tithi. The moon is in Punarvasu, return and renewal — the light that comes back after the storm until 06:15 PM, and the yoga is Vyatipata.

The day runs from 05:05 AM to 05:37 PM, 12h 31m of daylight, the moon stands in Simha. Rahu kalam runs 06:39 AM to 08:13 AM, yamagandam 09:47 AM to 11:21 AM, and abhijit muhurta — the window held open to nearly anything — 10:56 AM to 11:46 AM. All of these are computed for Guwahati; change the city in the header and they move with it.
