The whole day

Tomorrow
TithiAshtami until 1:22 AM, 4 Octthen Navami until 11:24 PM, 4 Oct
At sunrise the Moon is 266.0° ahead of the Sun. 266.0 ÷ 12° = 22.16, which puts it in lunar day 23 of 30. Why tithis repeat or vanish
NakshatraArdra until 9:00 PMthen Punarvasu until 7:44 PM, 4 Oct
At sunrise the Moon is at 71.8° in the sidereal zodiac. 71.8 ÷ 13°20′ = 5.38, which puts it in nakshatra 6 of 27.
SunRises 7:04 AM, sets 6:34 PM
Daylight today is 11h 30m. Sunrise and sunset are when the Sun’s upper edge crosses the horizon, allowing for the way the atmosphere bends light.
Abhijit12:26 PM – 1:12 PM
Daylight is split into 15 muhurtas of 46 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.
Rahu Kaal9:57 AM – 11:23 AM
Daylight today is 690 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 86 minutes. On Saturday, Rahu Kaal is part 3. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it

At sunrise the Sun and Moon’s longitudes add up to 237.6°. 237.6 ÷ 13°20′ = 17.82, which makes this yoga 18 of 27.
KaranaBalava until 2:25 PMthen Kaulava until 1:22 AM, 4 Oct
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.
MonthAshvin · Bhadrapada 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 · SunMithuna · Kanya
Sidereal positions at sunrise: Moon 71.8°, Sun 165.8°. Sidereal means 24.23° (the Lahiri ayanamsa) behind the zodiac used in Western astrology.
SamvatVikram 2083 · Shaka 1948
Vikram Samvat runs about 57 years ahead of the Gregorian year, and Shaka Samvat about 78 years behind it.
MoonRises 10:55 PM, Sets 3:29 PM, 54% lit
A Hindu day runs from sunrise to sunrise, so a moonrise just before dawn belongs to the day before.

Gulika7:04 AM – 8:30 AM

Why times differ in London

At 51.5°N, 0.1°W, London has 20 minutes less 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.
