Today is Krishna Chavithi, the chaturthi tithi of Shravana, running until 09:14 PM. Chaturthi belongs to Ganesha — and the waning chaturthi is kept as Sankashti Chaturthi, a fast held until the moon is sighted late in the evening.
It is a rikta tithi in the muhurta scheme, which is why it is set aside for weddings and journeys while remaining well suited to removing obstacles and to clearing what is finished. The moon is in Revati, safe passage — the last nakshatra, and a kind one until 04:54 PM; rahu kalam runs 08:34 AM to 10:10 AM.
The day runs from 06:58 AM to 07:45 PM, 12h 47m of daylight, the yoga is Ganda and the karana Bava, the moon stands in Simha. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 12:56 PM and 01:47 PM. All of these are computed for Houston; change the city in the header and they move with it.
Timings are computed astronomically for the selected city and cross-referenced against the traditional panchangams in common use. Regional practice can differ by a day — please confirm important dates with the panchangam your family follows.
Sunrise and sunset in Houston
Every timing on this page — rahu kalam, yamagandam, gulika kalam and abhijit muhurta — is a fraction of the time between sunrise and sunset at Houston, so all of them move with the season. Across 2026 the sun rises here as early as 06:20 and as late as 07:39, a swing of 1 hour 19 minutes, and the daylight it encloses runs from 10 hours 14 minutes at the shortest to 14 hours 4 minutes at the longest.
Solar noon at Houston falls about 34 minutes later than at Ujjain, the reference meridian printed panchangams are calculated to. That gap is the usual reason a timing here does not match the one on a wall calendar — neither is wrong; they are computed for different places. This city also changes its civil clock during the year, and the timings above follow that change rather than a fixed offset.
