Aparahna Tilak Muhurat

12:34 PM – 2:34 PM

America/Chicago

Note: this window overlaps Rahu Kalam (2:04 PM–3:19 PM) for Chicago — many households wait until Rahu Kalam ends before beginning Puja.

Why is the tilak done in Aparahna?

Aparahna is the fourth of the five equal divisions of daylight — the afternoon stretch the Yama Dwitiya rite belongs to. Sisters apply the tilak and pray for their brothers' long life within this window, which is why the date can differ from a simple "day after Govardhan Puja" reckoning when the tithi turns over mid-morning.
