At sunrise the Moon is 181.6° ahead of the Sun. 181.6 ÷ 12° = 15.14, which puts it in lunar day 16 of 30. Why tithis repeat or vanish
NakshatraHasta until 1:09 PMthen Chitra until 2:55 PM, 3 Apr
At sunrise the Moon is at 169.9° in the sidereal zodiac. 169.9 ÷ 13°20′ = 12.74, which puts it in nakshatra 13 of 27.
SunRises 6:33 AM, sets 7:36 PM
Daylight today is 13h 2m. Sunrise and sunset are when the Sun’s upper edge crosses the horizon, allowing for the way the atmosphere bends light.
Abhijit12:39 PM – 1:31 PM
Daylight is split into 15 muhurtas of 52 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.
Rahu Kaal2:42 PM – 4:20 PM
Daylight today is 782 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 98 minutes. On Thursday, Rahu Kaal is part 6. 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.

Shukla is the bright half, from new moon to full moon. Krishna is the dark half, from full moon to new moon.
MonthVaishakha · Chaitra 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

MoonRises 8:36 PM, Sets 6:29 AM, 3 Apr, 100% lit
A Hindu day runs from sunrise to sunrise, so a moonrise just before dawn belongs to the day before.

Why times differ in London

At 51.5°N, 0.1°W, London has 33 minutes more 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.
