The whole day

Tomorrow
TithiPanchami until 2:28 AM, 18 Decthen Shashthi until 12:07 AM, 19 Dec
At sunrise the Moon is 229.6° ahead of the Sun. 229.6 ÷ 12° = 19.14, which puts it in lunar day 20 of 30. Why tithis repeat or vanish
NakshatraAshlesha until 11:42 PMthen Magha until 10:00 PM, 18 Dec
At sunrise the Moon is at 110.5° in the sidereal zodiac. 110.5 ÷ 13°20′ = 8.29, which puts it in nakshatra 9 of 27.
SunRises 8:01 AM, sets 3:52 PM
Daylight today is 7h 52m. Sunrise and sunset are when the Sun’s upper edge crosses the horizon, allowing for the way the atmosphere bends light.
Abhijit11:41 AM – 12:12 PM
Daylight is split into 15 muhurtas of 31 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.
Rahu Kaal10:57 AM – 11:56 AM
Daylight today is 472 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 59 minutes. On Friday, Rahu Kaal is part 4. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it
Full panchang
YogaVaidhriti until 9:17 PMthen Vishkambha until 6:05 PM, 18 Dec
At sunrise the Sun and Moon’s longitudes add up to 351.4°. 351.4 ÷ 13°20′ = 26.36, which makes this yoga 27 of 27.
KaranaKaulava until 3:45 PMthen Taitila until 2:28 AM, 18 Dec
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.
MonthPausha · Margashirsha 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 · SunKarka · Dhanu
Sidereal positions at sunrise: Moon 110.5°, Sun 240.9°. Sidereal means 24.25° (the Lahiri ayanamsa) behind the zodiac used in Western astrology.
SamvatVikram 2084 · Shaka 1949
Vikram Samvat runs about 57 years ahead of the Gregorian year, and Shaka Samvat about 78 years behind it.
MoonRises 8:56 PM, Sets 10:41 AM, 82% lit
A Hindu day runs from sunrise to sunrise, so a moonrise just before dawn belongs to the day before.
Yamaganda1:54 PM – 2:53 PM
This is part 7 of today’s 8 parts of daylight, each 59 minutes long. The part changes with the weekday.
Gulika9:00 AM – 9:59 AM

Why times differ in London

At 51.5°N, 0.1°W, London has 148 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.
