Shukla Paksha

Friday, Shukla Paksha. Raksha Bandhan falls on this day. The tithi is Purnima till morning, then Pratipada begins. The Moon is in Shatabhisha nakshatra till early morning the next day, then Purva Bhadrapada. Abhijit Muhurta (11:56 – 12:47) is good for new work; avoid Rahu Kaal (10:45 – 12:22). The Moon is in Kumbha rashi and the Sun in Simha.

Raksha Bandhan

Rakhi Purnima

Morning, after Bhadra05:57 – 09:48

This year Bhadra covers the afternoon and night of the tithi's first day, so the rite moves to the morning after: it is done after sunrise on this date, while the tithi still stands.

Sisters tie a protective thread (rakhi) on their brothers' wrists; brothers in turn promise to protect them. A celebration of the sibling bond.

Day at a glance

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 for picking 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 — pick an hour whose ruler suits the task.
