At sunrise the Moon is 357.9° ahead of the Sun. 357.9 ÷ 12° = 29.82, which puts it in lunar day 30 of 30. Why tithis repeat or vanish
NakshatraUttara Ashadha until 10:23 PMthen Shravana until 11:37 PM, 19 Jan
At sunrise the Moon is at 272.2° in the sidereal zodiac. 272.2 ÷ 13°20′ = 20.41, which puts it in nakshatra 21 of 27.
SunRises 7:22 AM, sets 5:18 PM
Daylight today is 9h 56m. Sunrise and sunset are when the Sun’s upper edge crosses the horizon, allowing for the way the atmosphere bends light.
Abhijit12:00 PM – 12:40 PM
Daylight is split into 15 muhurtas of 40 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.
Rahu Kaal4:04 PM – 5:18 PM
Daylight today is 596 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 75 minutes. On Sunday, Rahu Kaal is part 8. 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.
MonthMagha · Pausha 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
