At sunrise the Moon is 13.9° ahead of the Sun. 13.9 ÷ 12° = 1.16, which puts it in lunar day 2 of 30. Why tithis repeat or vanish

Abhijit11:32 AM – 12:05 PM
Daylight is split into 15 muhurtas of 33 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.
Rahu Kaal8:42 AM – 9:44 AM
Daylight today is 497 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 62 minutes. On Monday, Rahu Kaal is part 2. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it
