Today is Monday, in the Shukla Paksha. Today is Holi. The tithi is Purnima till evening, then Pratipada begins. Purnima is the full moon, a day for devotion and completing what you started. The Moon is in Uttara Phalguni nakshatra till night, then Hasta. Start new work in Abhijit Muhurta, 12:04 to 12:52, and avoid it in Rahu Kaal, 07:54 to 09:25. The Moon is in Kanya rashi and the Sun in Meena.
The festival of colours, celebrating the arrival of spring and the triumph of good over evil. People smear coloured powders, sing, dance, and visit friends and family.

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
