Friday, Shukla Paksha. The tithi is Dwadashi till afternoon, then Trayodashi begins. Dwadashi ends the Ekadashi fast and is a gentle, restful day. The Moon is in Hasta nakshatra till early morning the next day, then Chitra. Abhijit Muhurta (11:50 to 12:44) is good for new work; avoid Rahu Kaal (10:36 to 12:17). The Moon is in Kanya rashi and the Sun in Mesha.

Day at a glance
Panchang windows not defined here today
Choghadiya, Gowri and Rahu Kaal each divide local daylight into eight parts. At very high latitudes (above ~66ยฐ) 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 timing system used mainly in Gujarat, Rajasthan and North India: 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 to pick auspicious slots for everyday work.
A short-list of the seven most important windows: three auspicious (Brahma, Abhijit, Amrit) and four to avoid (Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika, Varjyam). 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, so pick an hour whose ruler suits the task.
