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 05:46 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 11:09 AM to 11:59 AM. 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 05:21 AM to 05:46 PM, 12h 25m 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 11:09 AM and 11:59 AM. All of these are computed for Kolkata; change the city in the header and they move with it.
