At sunrise the Moon is 241.2° ahead of the Sun. 241.2 ÷ 12° = 20.10, which puts it in lunar day 21 of 30. Why tithis repeat or vanish
NakshatraMula until 7:00 AMthen Purva Ashadha until 9:55 AM, 27 Apr
At sunrise the Moon is at 252.7° in the sidereal zodiac. 252.7 ÷ 13°20′ = 18.95, which puts it in nakshatra 19 of 27.
SunRises 5:42 AM, sets 8:15 PM
Daylight today is 14h 33m. Sunrise and sunset are when the Sun’s upper edge crosses the horizon, allowing for the way the atmosphere bends light.
Abhijit12:30 PM – 1:28 PM
Daylight is split into 15 muhurtas of 58 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.
Rahu Kaal7:32 AM – 9:21 AM
Daylight today is 873 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 109 minutes. On Monday, Rahu Kaal is part 2. 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.
MonthVaishakha · Chaitra 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 · SunDhanu · Mesha
Sidereal positions at sunrise: Moon 252.7°, Sun 11.5°. Sidereal means 24.24° (the Lahiri ayanamsa) behind the zodiac used in Western astrology.

Why times differ in London

At 51.5°N, 0.1°W, London has 85 minutes more 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.
