NakshatraKrittika until 9:24 AMthen Rohini until 6:16 AM, 5 Dec
At sunrise the Moon is at 39.0° in the sidereal zodiac. 39.0 ÷ 13°20′ = 2.92, which puts it in nakshatra 3 of 27.
SunRises 7:48 AM, sets 3:54 PM
Daylight today is 8h 6m. Sunrise and sunset are when the Sun’s upper edge crosses the horizon, allowing for the way the atmosphere bends light.
Abhijit11:34 AM – 12:07 PM
Daylight is split into 15 muhurtas of 32 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.
Rahu Kaal12:51 PM – 1:52 PM
Daylight today is 486 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 61 minutes. On Thursday, Rahu Kaal is part 6. 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 140 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.
