At sunrise the Moon is at 330.6° in the sidereal zodiac. 330.6 ÷ 13°20′ = 24.79, which puts it in nakshatra 25 of 27.
SunRises 6:56 AM, sets 4:32 PM
Daylight today is 9h 36m. Sunrise and sunset are when the Sun’s upper edge crosses the horizon, allowing for the way the atmosphere bends light.
Abhijit11:25 AM – 12:03 PM
Daylight is split into 15 muhurtas of 38 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.
Rahu Kaal3:20 PM – 4:32 PM
Daylight today is 576 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 72 minutes. On Sunday, Rahu Kaal is part 8. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it

Why times differ in London

At 51.5°N, 0.1°W, London has 86 minutes less daylight than New Delhi today, which changes the length and timing of each traditional period. The tithi at sunrise differs from New Delhi’s today: sunrise here falls in a different lunar day.
