Once you have a good date, pick the time of day using Atlanta's own sunrise: avoid Rahu Kaal, and if you can, start during the Abhijit Muhurat around local midday. Both are shown below for today and change a few minutes each day. Times are in Eastern Daylight Time (UTC−4).
| Day (Vara) | Shanivar (Saturday) |
|---|---|
| Tithi at sunrise | Krishna Saptami until Sun 1 Nov, 4:22 AM |
| Nakshatra | Punarvasu (pada 2) until Sat 31 Oct, 8:09 PM |
| Sunrise / Sunset | 7:56 AM / 6:46 PM |
| Rahu Kaal (avoid) | 10:38 AM – 11:59 AM |
| Abhijit Muhurat (good) | 12:59 PM – 1:42 PM |

Start and end times are in Atlanta time. A vrat is usually kept on the day the Tithi is running at sunrise; your family or temple tradition may differ.
