At sunrise the Moon is 163.2° ahead of the Sun. 163.2 ÷ 12° = 13.60, which puts it in lunar day 14 of 30. Why tithis repeat or vanish

At sunrise the Moon is at 80.0° in the sidereal zodiac. 80.0 ÷ 13°20′ = 6.00, which puts it in nakshatra 6 of 27.
SunRises 7:53 AM, sets 4:31 PM
Daylight today is 8h 37m. Sunrise and sunset are when the Sun’s upper edge crosses the horizon, allowing for the way the atmosphere bends light.
Abhijit11:55 AM – 12:29 PM
Daylight is split into 15 muhurtas of 35 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.
Rahu Kaal1:17 PM – 2:21 PM
Daylight today is 517 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 65 minutes. On Thursday, Rahu Kaal is part 6. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it
