Today is Shukla Navami of Bhadrapada, holding until 05:54 PM. It is a rikta — "empty" — tithi, one of the three each fortnight that are traditionally set aside for weddings, housewarmings and new ventures.
That does not make it a bad day. Rikta tithis suit exactly what their name suggests: clearing, concluding, settling debts, medical treatment, and finishing what is already under way. The moon is in Purva Ashadha, the invincible — conviction that will not be argued down until 04:35 AM. Rahu kalam is 04:30 PM–06:01 PM.
The day runs from 05:51 AM to 06:01 PM, 12h 9m of daylight, the yoga is Saubhagya and the karana Kaulava, the moon stands in Kanya. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 11:32 AM and 12:21 PM. All of these are computed for Rajahmundry; 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.
