At sunrise the Moon is 144.7° ahead of the Sun. 144.7 ÷ 12° = 12.05, which puts it in lunar day 13 of 30. Why tithis repeat or vanish
NakshatraSwati until 6:08 AM, 29 May
At sunrise the Moon is at 187.3° in the sidereal zodiac. 187.3 ÷ 13°20′ = 14.05, which puts it in nakshatra 15 of 27.
SunRises 4:52 AM, sets 9:04 PM
Daylight today is 16h 12m. Sunrise and sunset are when the Sun’s upper edge crosses the horizon, allowing for the way the atmosphere bends light.
Abhijit12:26 PM – 1:31 PM
Daylight is split into 15 muhurtas of 65 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.
Rahu Kaal3:00 PM – 5:01 PM
Daylight today is 972 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 122 minutes. On Thursday, Rahu Kaal is part 6. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it
