At sunrise the Moon is 251.8° ahead of the Sun. 251.8 ÷ 12° = 20.99, which puts it in lunar day 21 of 30. Why tithis repeat or vanish

At sunrise the Moon is at 156.4° in the sidereal zodiac. 156.4 ÷ 13°20′ = 11.73, which puts it in nakshatra 12 of 27.
SunRises 6:44 AM, sets 6:09 PM
Daylight today is 11h 25m. Sunrise and sunset are when the Sun’s upper edge crosses the horizon, allowing for the way the atmosphere bends light.
Abhijit12:04 PM – 12:50 PM
Daylight is split into 15 muhurtas of 46 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.
Rahu Kaal11:01 AM – 12:27 PM
Daylight today is 685 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 86 minutes. On Friday, Rahu Kaal is part 4. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it

A karana is half a tithi: each 6° the Moon gains on the Sun.
