What makes today special

Krishna Paksha Ekadashi runs until 5:03 PM, making it a notable day for the Ekadashi fast, the worship of Lord Vishnu, and japa and meditation. As it is also Monday, the worship of Lord Shiva — bilva archana and Rudrabhishekam — is held to be especially fruitful. Punarvasu nakshatra continues until 6:14 PM; this nakshatra is considered well suited to fresh starts and to picking up work that had stalled.

Since it is Monday, note the Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda and Gulika periods and begin auspicious activities within a chosen shubha muhurtam. These timings are referenced to Hyderabad and were cross-verified against both Drik Panchang and Prokerala.
