Maharashtra Moonrise Time Today: Know When Will The Moon Rise For Karwa Chauth In Maharashtra Cities

The festival of Karwa Chauth, symbolising devotion, love, and marital harmony, is being celebrated with great fervour today, October 10, 2025. On this auspicious day, married women across Maharashtra and other parts of India observe a strict nirjala fast, abstaining from both food and water, from sunrise until moonrise. The fast is dedicated to praying for the long life and well-being of their husbands. Dressed beautifully like brides, women perform Karwa Chauth rituals in the evening by worshipping Lord Ganesha, Goddess Karwa, and later the moon. Once the moon appears, they offer arghya (water offering) to it before breaking their fast, marking the end of the day-long observance.

Karwa Chauth Puja Muhurat: 06:18 PM to 07:31 PM(Duration – 1 Hour 13 Minutes) Fasting (Upavasa) Time: 06:30 AM to 08:53 PM(Duration – 14 Hours 23 Minutes) Moonrise Time: 08:53 PM Chaturthi Tithi Begins: 10:54 PM on October 9, 2025 Chaturthi Tithi Ends: 07:38 PM on October 10, 2025 These timings are significant for women across Maharashtra, including cities like Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur, Nashik, and Aurangabad, who will be eagerly waiting to sight the moon and complete their rituals. What If The Moon Is Not Visible? Sometimes, cloudy skies or weather conditions may hide the moon from view. In such situations, women are advised to conclude their fast according to the local moonrise time as per the schedule, even if the moon is not visible. During Karwa Chauth, special prayers and rituals are offered to the moon. It is believed that directly gazing at the moon on this day can bring bad luck, which is why women first look at their husbands through a sieve before breaking their fast.

Washington Says No New Missile Shipments Being Sent To Pakistan

Washington Says No New Missile Shipments Being Sent To Pakistan

The United States has rejected claims that Pakistan will receive new Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missiles (AMRAAMs) under a recently revised defence agreement, clarifying that the update concerns only maintenance and spare parts rather than the transfer of new weapons. Embassy Issues Clarification In a statement issued on Friday, the US Embassy in India explained that the Department of War’s announcement on 30 September referred to “an amendment to an existing Foreign Military Sales contract for sustainment and spares for several countries, including Pakistan.” The embassy underlined that “contrary to false media reports, no part of this referenced contract modification is for deliveries of new AMRAAMs to Pakistan,” and added that the agreement “does not include an upgrade to any of Pakistan’s current capabilities.” Reports Misread Contract Details The clarification followed reports in several media outlets, among them Pakistan’s Dawn newspaper, which had interpreted the Department of War’s 30 September update as confirmation of a new missile deal with Islamabad. The department’s official statement said that Raytheon Co., based in Tucson, Arizona, had received a $41 million modification to an ongoing AMRAAM production contract, raising the total value to more than $2.5 billion.   US Embassy in India issues a clarification on media reports of missile sales to Pakistan. It states, "The sustainment does not include an upgrade to any of Pakistan's current capabilities." pic.twitter.com/zILlcs8QJD — ANI (@ANI) October 10, 2025 That contract covers foreign military sales to multiple countries — including the United Kingdom, Germany, Israel, Australia, Qatar, Oman, Singapore, Japan, Canada, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Italy, Kuwait, Türkiye, and Pakistan — and is expected to run until May 2030. While Pakistan’s name appeared among the list of beneficiaries, the embassy has now clarified that its inclusion relates solely to sustainment and support services, not to the supply of new missiles. Previous AMRAAM Purchases Pakistan acquired approximately 700 AMRAAMs in 2007 to equip its F-16 fighter jets, which, at the time, was the largest international order for the air-to-air missile system. Speculation about a fresh missile delivery emerged weeks after Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Army Chief General Asim Munir held talks with US President Donald Trump in September.

Former UK PM Rishi Sunak Pivots To Tech, Joins Microsoft And Anthropic As Senior Adviser

Former UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has taken on senior advisory roles with Microsoft and artificial intelligence (AI) firm Anthropic, marking a significant shift into the technology sector as AI continues to reshape economies and societies worldwide. Sunak, who remains a Member of Parliament, is also the son-in-law of Infosys founder Narayana Murthy and Rajya Sabha member Sudha Murty. Sunak's Role In Tech In his new part-time roles, Sunak will work with senior executives at both Microsoft and Anthropic, offering “high-level strategic perspectives” on macroeconomic and geopolitical developments and how these interact with technology and society. According to letters published by the Advisory Committee on Business Appointments (ACOBA), the government body which reviews post-ministerial appointments, his duties will focus strictly on strategic advice, not government affairs. “I have long believed that technology will transform our world and play a key part in determining our future,” Sunak said on LinkedIn. “I am excited to help these two companies as they address the big strategic questions about how to make tech work for our economies, our security and our society.” According to him, Microsoft is a company that has “driven productivity improvements for decades” and he also called Anthropic “one of the most exciting AI frontier labs”. “We stand on the edge of a technological revolution whose impacts will be as profound as those of the Industrial Revolution and felt more quickly,” he added. “In my role as a senior adviser, I want to help these companies ensure that this shift delivers the improvements in all of our lives that it can.” No Government Involvement, Says ACOBA ACOBA has confirmed that Sunak will not engage in any UK policy discussions or have contact with the government. His roles will be “appropriately ring-fenced” to ensure that there is no overlap with his time as prime minister. Microsoft and Anthropic have each pledged to limit his work to internal strategic matters and have policies in place to avoid conflicts of interest. Sunak will donate all earnings from these positions to The Richmond Project, which is a charity he and his wife Akshata Murty launched earlier this year to promote numeracy skills among people of all ages. Anthropic’s Praise For Sunak In a statement, Anthropic said Sunak was “among the first global leaders to recognise AI’s transformative potential”, noting his role in establishing the world’s first AI Safety Institute and hosting the AI Safety Summit at Bletchley Park in 2023. “His experience will provide valuable strategic perspective as we work to ensure AI benefits humanity,” the company said. It added that Sunak’s position fully complies with ACOBA’s conditions and is focused on internal company strategy. Continuing Ties With Finance This is not Sunak’s only advisory engagement. He further continues to serve as a senior adviser to Goldman Sachs, a position he accepted in July 2025 — his first major role after stepping down as Conservative Party leader following Labour’s landslide victory in the July 2024 general election. Sunak’s Track Record In AI As prime minister between October 2022 and July 2024, Sunak made AI policy a central focus of his administration. His government worked closely with Microsoft and Anthropic on the AI Safety Summit in November 2023, during which Microsoft announced a £2.5 billion ($3.3 billion) investment in AI infrastructure and skills over three years. Building on that, Microsoft last month unveiled an additional £22 billion ($30 billion) commitment to AI infrastructure and operations in the UK over the next four years. Nvidia and Google also pledged further investments in the same period. Anthropic’s Global Expansion Anthropic — backed by major investors including Google and Amazon — is rapidly expanding beyond the United States to meet growing demand for its Claude AI models. The company plans to triple its international workforce and grow its applied AI team fivefold this year. More than 100 new roles will be created across Dublin, London and Zurich, with further European offices expected soon. To lead the global push, former Google and Salesforce executive Chris Ciauri has been appointed Managing Director of International, joining recent hires such as Paul Smith, the firm’s first Chief Commercial Officer, and Liam Booth-Smith, Sunak’s former chief of staff, now Head of External Affairs. Anthropic also announced plans this week to open its first Indian office in Bengaluru, with co-founder Dario Amodei currently in India meeting government and enterprise leaders to advance responsible AI development that supports social and economic growth. Last month, the company raised $13 billion at a $183 billion post-money valuation, led by investment firm Iconiq.

Powerful 7.2-Magnitude Earthquake Strikes Mindanao, Tsunami Warning Issued

A powerful 7.4-magnitude earthquake shook Mindanao in the Philippines, triggering an urgent tsunami warning and raising fears of aftershocks. The tremor struck at a depth of 62 km (38.5 miles), the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) reported. The Philippine Seismology Agency has warned of potential damage across the southern island and stressed that aftershocks are likely in the coming hours. Authorities are urging residents in coastal towns across central and southern Philippines to move immediately to higher ground to ensure their safety. This latest quake comes just a week after Cebu province was rattled by a 6.9-magnitude earthquake that claimed at least 74 lives and injured many more. The tremor also demolished historic structures, including the centuries-old Parish of Saint Peter the Apostle in Bantayan.

Residents in seven provinces, Eastern Samar, Southern Leyte, Leyte, Dinagat Islands, Surigao Del Norte, Surigao Del Sur, and Davao Oriental—are being urged to evacuate immediately, either to higher ground or further inland. Meanwhile, Indonesia has also issued tsunami warnings for North Sulawesi and Papua, underscoring the widespread threat across the region. The Philippines faces yet another test of resilience. As the nation braces for possible aftershocks and surging waves, questions linger: Are communities prepared for such relentless seismic activity, and can authorities respond quickly enough to save lives?
