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 07:36 AM.

The fast begins at sunrise, 06:29 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 08:45 AM, and the yoga is Variyana.

The day runs from 06:29 AM to 07:18 PM, 12h 49m of daylight, the moon stands in Simha. Rahu kalam runs 08:05 AM to 09:41 AM, yamagandam 11:17 AM to 12:54 PM, and abhijit muhurta — the window held open to nearly anything — 12:28 PM to 01:20 PM. All of these are computed for New York; change the city in the header and they move with it.
