Today is Monday, in the Shukla Paksha. Today is Chhath Puja. The tithi is Shashthi till tomorrow morning, then Saptami begins. The Moon is in Mula nakshatra till afternoon, then Purva Ashadha. Start new work in Abhijit Muhurta, 11:42 to 12:27, and avoid it in Rahu Kaal, 07:53 to 09:17. The Moon is in Dhanu rashi and the Sun in Tula.
The Sandhya Arghya is offered to the setting Sun and the Usha Arghya to the next sunrise; the fast runs unbroken between them.
BiharJharkhandPurvanchal
A four-day festival devoted to Surya, the Sun god, and Chhathi Maiya. Devotees observe strict fasts and offer arghya to the setting and rising sun at rivers and ponds.

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
