The whole day

Tomorrow
TithiDwitiya until 4:27 AM, 5 Janthen Tritiya until 2:32 AM, 6 Jan
At sunrise the Moon is 192.6° ahead of the Sun. 192.6 ÷ 12° = 16.05, which puts it in lunar day 17 of 30. Why tithis repeat or vanish
NakshatraPunarvasu until 9:41 AMthen Pushya until 7:55 AM, 5 Jan
At sunrise the Moon is at 92.4° in the sidereal zodiac. 92.4 ÷ 13°20′ = 6.93, which puts it in nakshatra 7 of 27.
SunRises 8:05 AM, sets 4:06 PM
Daylight today is 8h 1m. Sunrise and sunset are when the Sun’s upper edge crosses the horizon, allowing for the way the atmosphere bends light.
Abhijit11:50 AM – 12:22 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 Kaal3:06 PM – 4:06 PM
Daylight today is 481 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 60 minutes. On Sunday, Rahu Kaal is part 8. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it
Full panchang
YogaVaidhriti until 8:17 PMthen Vishkambha until 5:17 PM, 5 Jan
At sunrise the Sun and Moon’s longitudes add up to 352.1°. 352.1 ÷ 13°20′ = 26.41, which makes this yoga 27 of 27.
KaranaTaitila until 5:40 PMthen Gara until 4:27 AM, 5 Jan
A karana is half a tithi: each 6° the Moon gains on the Sun.
PakshaKrishna · waning
Shukla is the bright half, from new moon to full moon. Krishna is the dark half, from full moon to new moon.
MonthMagha · Pausha in the south and west
North India usually ends a month at full moon, and much of the south and west at new moon. In the dark fortnight, the two count different months. Why there are two names
Moon · SunKarka · Dhanu
Sidereal positions at sunrise: Moon 92.4°, Sun 259.7°. Sidereal means 24.22° (the Lahiri ayanamsa) behind the zodiac used in Western astrology.
SamvatVikram 2082 · Shaka 1947
Vikram Samvat runs about 57 years ahead of the Gregorian year, and Shaka Samvat about 78 years behind it.
MoonRises 5:25 PM, Sets 9:13 AM, 99% lit
A Hindu day runs from sunrise to sunrise, so a moonrise just before dawn belongs to the day before.
Yamaganda12:06 PM – 1:06 PM
This is part 5 of today’s 8 parts of daylight, each 60 minutes long. The part changes with the weekday.
Gulika2:06 PM – 3:06 PM

Why times differ in London

At 51.5°N, 0.1°W, London has 143 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.
