Thursday, Krishna Paksha. Karva Chauth falls on this day. The tithi is Chaturthi till night, then Panchami begins. The Moon is in Rohini nakshatra till morning, then Mrigashira. Abhijit Muhurta (11:42 to 12:26) is good for new work; avoid Rahu Kaal (13:28 to 14:51). The Moon is in Vrishabha rashi and the Sun in Tula.
The fast is broken only after the Moon is sighted at Chandrodaya.
Married women keep a nirjala fast (no food or water) from sunrise to moonrise, praying for their husbands' long life. The fast is broken after sighting the Moon through a sieve.

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.
ChoghadiyaA 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.Learn more in glossary
