At sunrise the Moon is 30.1° ahead of the Sun. 30.1 ÷ 12° = 2.51, which puts it in lunar day 3 of 30. Why tithis repeat or vanish

At sunrise the Moon is at 176.7° in the sidereal zodiac. 176.7 ÷ 13°20′ = 13.25, which puts it in nakshatra 14 of 27.

Abhijit12:40 PM – 1:30 PM
Daylight is split into 15 muhurtas of 50 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.
Rahu Kaal5:47 PM – 7:21 PM
Daylight today is 751 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 94 minutes. On Sunday, Rahu Kaal is part 8. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it
