At sunrise the Moon is 313.0° ahead of the Sun. 313.0 ÷ 12° = 26.08, which puts it in lunar day 27 of 30. Why tithis repeat or vanish
NakshatraUttara Phalguni until 10:26 PMthen Hasta until 11:14 PM, 6 Nov
At sunrise the Moon is at 151.6° in the sidereal zodiac. 151.6 ÷ 13°20′ = 11.37, which puts it in nakshatra 12 of 27.
SunRises 7:01 AM, sets 4:27 PM
Daylight today is 9h 26m. Sunrise and sunset are when the Sun’s upper edge crosses the horizon, allowing for the way the atmosphere bends light.
Abhijit11:25 AM – 12:03 PM
Daylight is split into 15 muhurtas of 38 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.
Rahu Kaal12:55 PM – 2:05 PM
Daylight today is 566 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 71 minutes. On Thursday, Rahu Kaal is part 6. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it

A karana is half a tithi: each 6° the Moon gains on the Sun.

Shukla is the bright half, from new moon to full moon. Krishna is the dark half, from full moon to new moon.
MonthKartika · Ashvin 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 · SunKanya · Tula
Sidereal positions at sunrise: Moon 151.6°, Sun 198.6°. Sidereal means 24.23° (the Lahiri ayanamsa) behind the zodiac used in Western astrology.

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 92 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.
