The whole day

Tomorrow
TithiTritiya until 2:32 AM, 6 Janthen Chaturthi until 1:23 AM, 7 Jan
At sunrise the Moon is 206.0° ahead of the Sun. 206.0 ÷ 12° = 17.17, which puts it in lunar day 18 of 30. Why tithis repeat or vanish
NakshatraAshlesha until 6:48 AM, 6 Janthen Magha until 6:27 AM, 7 Jan
At sunrise the Moon is at 106.8° in the sidereal zodiac. 106.8 ÷ 13°20′ = 8.01, which puts it in nakshatra 9 of 27.
SunRises 8:05 AM, sets 4:07 PM
Daylight today is 8h 2m. 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 Kaal9:05 AM – 10:05 AM
Daylight today is 482 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 60 minutes. On Monday, Rahu Kaal is part 2. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it
Full panchang
YogaVishkambha until 5:17 PMthen Priti until 2:51 PM, 6 Jan
At sunrise the Sun and Moon’s longitudes add up to 7.5°. 7.5 ÷ 13°20′ = 0.56, which makes this yoga 1 of 27.
KaranaVanija until 3:24 PMthen Vishti until 2:32 AM, 6 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 106.8°, Sun 260.8°. 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 6:54 PM, Sets 9:40 AM, 95% lit
A Hindu day runs from sunrise to sunrise, so a moonrise just before dawn belongs to the day before.
Yamaganda11:06 AM – 12:06 PM
This is part 4 of today’s 8 parts of daylight, each 60 minutes long. The part changes with the weekday.
Gulika1:06 PM – 2:07 PM

Why times differ in London

At 51.5°N, 0.1°W, London has 142 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.
