At sunrise the Moon is 239.8° ahead of the Sun. 239.8 ÷ 12° = 19.99, which puts it in lunar day 20 of 30. Why tithis repeat or vanish

At sunrise the Moon is at 262.2° in the sidereal zodiac. 262.2 ÷ 13°20′ = 19.67, which puts it in nakshatra 20 of 27.
SunRises 5:21 AM, sets 8:34 PM
Daylight today is 15h 12m. Sunrise and sunset are when the Sun’s upper edge crosses the horizon, allowing for the way the atmosphere bends light.
Abhijit12:27 PM – 1:28 PM
Daylight is split into 15 muhurtas of 61 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.
Rahu Kaal2:52 PM – 4:46 PM
Daylight today is 912 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 114 minutes. On Thursday, Rahu Kaal is part 6. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it
