About this day
Sharad Navaratri (Dasara) falls today. The tithi at sunrise is Shukla Vidiya, running until 03:45 AM, in the month of Ashwina. The moon stands in Swati, independence — the reed that bends because it is not tied down, which holds until 05:23 AM.
The day begins at 06:40 AM and closes at 07:34 PM. Rahu kalam runs 08:17 AM to 09:53 AM, and abhijit muhurta — the window traditionally open to almost anything — falls between 12:41 PM and 01:33 PM. Where a festival has its own prescribed hour, that rule takes precedence over the general reading.
The yoga is Vishkambha and the karana Balava, the moon stands in Kanya. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 12:41 PM and 01:33 PM. All of these are computed for Melbourne; 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.
