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.

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.
