The whole day

Tomorrow
TithiTritiya until 7:30 AM, 5 Apr
At sunrise the Moon is 204.4° ahead of the Sun. 204.4 ÷ 12° = 17.03, which puts it in lunar day 18 of 30. Why tithis repeat or vanish
NakshatraSwati until 5:06 PMthen Vishakha until 7:38 PM, 5 Apr
At sunrise the Moon is at 194.6° in the sidereal zodiac. 194.6 ÷ 13°20′ = 14.60, which puts it in nakshatra 15 of 27.
SunRises 6:29 AM, sets 7:39 PM
Daylight today is 13h 10m. 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 53 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.
Rahu Kaal9:46 AM – 11:25 AM
Daylight today is 790 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 99 minutes. On Saturday, Rahu Kaal is part 3. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it

KaranaVanija until 6:32 PMthen Vishti until 7:30 AM, 5 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

Sidereal positions at sunrise: Moon 194.6°, Sun 350.2°. Sidereal means 24.22° (the Lahiri ayanamsa) behind the zodiac used in Western astrology.

MoonRises 11:08 PM, Sets 6:43 AM, 95% 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
