At sunrise the Moon is 169.2° ahead of the Sun. 169.2 ÷ 12° = 14.10, which puts it in lunar day 15 of 30. Why tithis repeat or vanish

Daylight is split into 15 muhurtas of 46 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.

Daylight today is 686 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 86 minutes. On Monday, Rahu Kaal is part 2. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it
