At sunrise the Moon is 144.1° ahead of the Sun. 144.1 ÷ 12° = 12.01, which puts it in lunar day 13 of 30. Why tithis repeat or vanish

At sunrise the Moon is at 29.5° in the sidereal zodiac. 29.5 ÷ 13°20′ = 2.21, which puts it in nakshatra 3 of 27.
SunRises 7:16 AM, sets 4:32 PM

Abhijit11:36 AM – 12:13 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 Kaal8:26 AM – 9:35 AM
Daylight today is 556 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 70 minutes. On Monday, Rahu Kaal is part 2. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it
