About this day
Today is Shukla Ekadasi — the eleventh tithi of the shukla fortnight of Ashwina, and the fortnightly fasting day kept for Vishnu. The tithi runs until 02:50 PM.
The fast begins at sunrise, 05:36 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 Shatabhisha, the hundred healers — solitary, unconventional, curative until 08:50 PM, and the yoga is Vriddhi.
The day runs from 05:36 AM to 05:06 PM, 11h 30m of daylight, the moon stands in Tula. Rahu kalam runs 12:47 PM to 02:13 PM, yamagandam 05:36 AM to 07:02 AM, and abhijit muhurta — the window held open to nearly anything — 10:58 AM to 11:44 AM. All of these are computed for Kolkata; change the city in the header and they move with it.
Timings are computed astronomically for the selected city. Printed and regional panchangams can differ, and practice can differ by a day — please confirm important dates with the panchangam your family follows.
