Today is Thursday, in the Shukla Paksha. Today is Vasant Panchami. The tithi is Panchami till tomorrow early morning, then Shashthi begins. The Moon is in Revati nakshatra till tomorrow early morning, then Ashwini. Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga is on today, a rare good time for any new start. Start new work in Abhijit Muhurta, 12:13 to 12:57, and avoid it in Rahu Kaal, 13:58 to 15:21. The Moon is in Meena rashi and the Sun in Makara.
Saraswati Puja is done in the forenoon, Purvahna, while the Panchami tithi stands.
Dedicated to Saraswati, the goddess of knowledge, music, and the arts. Schools and households place books and instruments before her image; yellow is worn to mark the arrival of spring.

Day at a glance
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.
ChoghadiyaA 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.Learn more in glossary
