About this day

Pitru Paksha (Mahalaya Paksha) is running — day 6 of 14. The tithi at sunrise is Krishna Shashthi, holding until 07:48 AM, in the month of Bhadrapada; the moon stands in Mrigashira, the gentle searcher — always scenting for something better, which holds until 12:26 AM. The tithi to reckon shraddha by is not this one but the one prevailing in aparahna, the afternoon: today that is Krishna Saptami. A parent's or grandparent's rite is performed on the day their tithi falls in aparahna, and Mahalaya Amavasya at the close of the fortnight gathers everyone whose tithi is not known.

The day begins at 05:46 AM and closes at 05:39 PM. Rahu kalam runs 10:13 AM to 11:43 AM, and abhijit muhurta falls between 11:19 AM and 12:06 PM.

The yoga is Vyatipata and the karana Vanija, the moon stands in Kanya. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 11:19 AM and 12:06 PM. All of these are computed for Riyadh; 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.

Sunrise and sunset in Riyadh

Every timing on this page — rahu kalam, yamagandam, gulika kalam and abhijit muhurta — is a fraction of the time between sunrise and sunset at Riyadh, so all of them move with the season. Across 2026 the sun rises here as early as 05:04 and as late as 06:40, a swing of 1 hour 36 minutes, and the daylight it encloses runs from 10 hours 36 minutes at the shortest to 13 hours 40 minutes at the longest.

Solar noon at Riyadh falls about 34 minutes earlier than at Ujjain, the reference meridian printed panchangams are calculated to. That gap is the usual reason a timing here does not match the one on a wall calendar — neither is wrong; they are computed for different places.
