On Tuesday, 4 August 2026, it is Shashthi of Krishna Paksha, in the month of Ashadh. The day falls on a Mangalavara, traditionally ruled by Mars, with the Moon resting in Revati nakshatra. Shashthi is a neutral tithi, suitable for routine work without any specific restriction.
Between 4:13 PM and 5:51 PM, Rahu Kaal is in effect; elders advise against starting anything new during this window. The most auspicious moment of the day is Abhijit Muhurta, from 12:29 PM to 1:22 PM, a good slot for anything important.
