Daily Almanac
Today is Wednesday, in the Krishna Paksha. Sankashti Chaturthi vrat is kept today. The tithi is Chaturthi till tomorrow early morning, then Panchami begins. The Moon is in Ardra nakshatra till tomorrow early morning, then Punarvasu. Avoid new work in Rahu Kaal, 12:05 to 13:26. The Moon is in Mithuna rashi and the Sun in Vrishchika.
Vrat
Chandrodaya20:21
The fast is broken only after the Moon is sighted; the day is the one on which the Moon rises while Chaturthi stands.
The monthly fast for Ganesha, kept on the Krishna Chaturthi on which the moon rises while the tithi stands. Devotees fast from sunrise and break it only after sighting the moon; each month's Sankashti carries its own name, and one falling on a Tuesday is Angarki.
Adhika Kartik
Sacred lunar leap month — a time for fasting, charity, and devotional practice.
Krishna Chaturthi
Same day 03:42 upto Next day 01:35
Chaturthi — sacred to Ganesha. Best used for prayer and removing obstacles, not for major new ventures.
Wednesday
Wednesday — ruled by Mercury. A communicative, intellectual day; favourable for study, writing, and trade.
Ardra · Pada 1
Same day 04:41 upto Next day 03:17

Siddha
Prev day 12:37 upto Same day 09:47
Sadhya
Same day 09:47 Next day 06:51
An auspicious yoga — sun and moon align favourably today. Considered supportive for most new beginnings.
Bava
Same day 03:42 upto Same day 14:39
Balava
Same day 14:39 Next day 01:35
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.
