The whole day

Tomorrow
TithiDwitiya until 5:40 AM, 4 Aprthen Tritiya until 7:30 AM, 5 Apr
At sunrise the Moon is 193.1° ahead of the Sun. 193.1 ÷ 12° = 16.09, which puts it in lunar day 17 of 30. Why tithis repeat or vanish
NakshatraChitra until 2:55 PMthen Swati until 5:06 PM, 4 Apr
At sunrise the Moon is at 182.3° in the sidereal zodiac. 182.3 ÷ 13°20′ = 13.68, which puts it in nakshatra 14 of 27.
SunRises 6:31 AM, sets 7:37 PM
Daylight today is 13h 6m. Sunrise and sunset are when the Sun’s upper edge crosses the horizon, allowing for the way the atmosphere bends light.
Abhijit12:38 PM – 1:30 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 Kaal11:26 AM – 1:04 PM
Daylight today is 786 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 98 minutes. On Friday, Rahu Kaal is part 4. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it

At sunrise the Sun and Moon’s longitudes add up to 171.6°. 171.6 ÷ 13°20′ = 12.87, which makes this yoga 13 of 27.
KaranaTaitila until 4:53 PMthen Gara until 5:40 AM, 4 Apr
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.
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
Moon · SunTula · Meena
Sidereal positions at sunrise: Moon 182.3°, Sun 349.2°. Sidereal means 24.22° (the Lahiri ayanamsa) behind the zodiac used in Western astrology.

Vikram Samvat runs about 57 years ahead of the Gregorian year, and Shaka Samvat about 78 years behind it.
MoonRises 9:52 PM, 99% 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 35 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.
