Daily Almanac
Today is Tuesday, in the Shukla Paksha. Today is Raksha Bandhan. The tithi is Purnima till afternoon, then Pratipada begins. The Moon is in Dhanishta nakshatra till tomorrow early morning, then Shatabhisha. Start new work in Abhijit Muhurta, 11:58 to 12:51, and avoid it in Rahu Kaal, 15:42 to 17:20. The Moon is in Makara rashi and the Sun in Karka.
Rakhi Purnima
Next morning, after Bhadra05:51 – 12:58
Bhadra covers the whole afternoon and runs past midnight this year, so the rite is kept the next morning after sunrise, while the tithi still stands.
Sisters tie a protective thread (rakhi) on their brothers' wrists; brothers in turn promise to protect them. A celebration of the sibling bond.
Adhika Shravana
Sacred lunar leap month — a time for fasting, charity, and devotional practice.
Purnima
Prev day 10:29 upto Same day 12:58
Krishna Pratipada
Same day 12:58 Next day 15:16
Purnima or Amavasya — full or new moon. A potent day for devotion, completion, and intention-setting.
Tuesday
Tuesday — ruled by Mars. An energetic, assertive day; good for action and physical work, less so for delicate matters.
Dhanishta · Pada 1
Prev day 23:33 upto Next day 02:31
Movable nakshatra — favours travel, transitions, and changes of scenery.
Shobhana
Same day 00:38 upto Next day 01:35
An auspicious yoga — sun and moon align favourably today. Considered supportive for most new beginnings.
Bava
Prev day 23:44 upto Same day 12:58
Balava
Same day 12:58 Next day 02:09
A movable karana — the regular daytime half-tithi. Suitable for most everyday activities.
Panchang windows not defined here today
Choghadiya, Gowri and Rahu Kalam each divide local daylight into eight parts. At very high latitudes (above ~66°) the sun can stay up — or stay down — for the whole day, so a local sunrise/sunset pair doesn't exist for this date. Tithi, nakshatra and yoga above are still valid.
A North Indian timing system: eight day windows and eight night windows, each rated good, neutral, or bad. A quick way to pick (or avoid) a slot for an everyday task.
A South Indian tradition that splits the day and night into eight Gowri windows each — used for picking auspicious slots for everyday work.
A short-list of the six most important windows — three auspicious (Brahma, Abhijit, Amrit) and three to avoid (Rahu, Yamaganda, Gulika). Some days may show fewer if a window isn't computed.
Each day and night splits into twelve planetary hours, each ruled by a planet. The ruling planet sets the hour's tone — pick an hour whose ruler suits the task.
