At sunrise the Moon is 255.0° ahead of the Sun. 255.0 ÷ 12° = 21.25, which puts it in lunar day 22 of 30. Why tithis repeat or vanish

At sunrise the Moon is at 70.3° in the sidereal zodiac. 70.3 ÷ 13°20′ = 5.27, which puts it in nakshatra 6 of 27.
SunRises 7:15 AM, sets 6:36 PM
Daylight today is 11h 21m. Sunrise and sunset are when the Sun’s upper edge crosses the horizon, allowing for the way the atmosphere bends light.
Abhijit12:33 PM – 1:18 PM
Daylight is split into 15 muhurtas of 45 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.
Rahu Kaal5:11 PM – 6:36 PM
Daylight today is 681 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 85 minutes. On Sunday, Rahu Kaal is part 8. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it
