Abhijit Muhurta (11:50 – 12:44) is good for new work; avoid Rahu Kaal (17:20 – 19:01). The Moon is in Vrishabha rashi and the Sun in Mesha.
The whole day is auspicious for gifts, purchases and new beginnings; the puja itself is done in the forenoon (Purvahna).

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 ~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 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
