The whole day
TomorrowTithiDashami until 3:07 AM, 28 Janthen Ekadashi until 12:26 AM, 29 Jan
At sunrise the Moon is 108.9° ahead of the Sun. 108.9 ÷ 12° = 9.08, which puts it in lunar day 10 of 30. Why tithis repeat or vanish
NakshatraKrittika until 7:57 PMthen Rohini until 6:02 PM, 28 Jan
At sunrise the Moon is at 32.4° in the sidereal zodiac. 32.4 ÷ 13°20′ = 2.43, which puts it in nakshatra 3 of 27.
SunRises 7:17 AM, sets 5:28 PM
Daylight today is 10h 11m. Sunrise and sunset are when the Sun’s upper edge crosses the horizon, allowing for the way the atmosphere bends light.
Abhijit12:02 PM – 12:43 PM
Daylight is split into 15 muhurtas of 41 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.
Rahu Kaal2:55 PM – 4:12 PM
Daylight today is 611 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 76 minutes. On Tuesday, Rahu Kaal is part 7. 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.
