About this day
Sharad Navaratri (Dasara) falls today. The tithi at sunrise is Shukla Saptami, running until 02:00 PM, in the month of Ashwina. The moon stands in Purva Ashadha, the invincible — conviction that will not be argued down, which holds until 06:20 PM.
The day begins at 06:11 AM and closes at 07:11 PM. Rahu kalam runs 05:33 PM to 07:11 PM, and abhijit muhurta — the window traditionally open to almost anything — falls between 12:14 PM and 01:06 PM. Where a festival has its own prescribed hour, that rule takes precedence over the general reading.
The yoga is Sukarma and the karana Vanija, the moon stands in Tula. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 12:14 PM and 01:06 PM. All of these are computed for Sydney; 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.
