At sunrise the Moon is 348.5° ahead of the Sun. 348.5 ÷ 12° = 29.05, which puts it in lunar day 30 of 30. Why tithis repeat or vanish
NakshatraSwati until 1:54 AM, 9 Novthen Vishakha until 3:50 AM, 10 Nov
At sunrise the Moon is at 190.2° in the sidereal zodiac. 190.2 ÷ 13°20′ = 14.26, which puts it in nakshatra 15 of 27.
SunRises 7:06 AM, sets 4:22 PM
Daylight today is 9h 16m. Sunrise and sunset are when the Sun’s upper edge crosses the horizon, allowing for the way the atmosphere bends light.
Abhijit11:25 AM – 12:02 PM
Daylight is split into 15 muhurtas of 37 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.
Rahu Kaal3:12 PM – 4:22 PM
Daylight today is 556 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 70 minutes. On Sunday, Rahu Kaal is part 8. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it

KaranaChatushpada until 6:27 PMthen Naga until 7:02 AM, 9 Nov
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.
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 · SunTula · Tula
Sidereal positions at sunrise: Moon 190.2°, Sun 201.7°. Sidereal means 24.23° (the Lahiri ayanamsa) behind the zodiac used in Western astrology.

Vikram Samvat runs about 57 years ahead of the Gregorian year, and Shaka Samvat about 78 years behind it.
MoonSets 3:19 PM, 1.2% 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

At 51.5°N, 0.1°W, London has 98 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.
