At sunrise the Moon is at 145.2° in the sidereal zodiac. 145.2 ÷ 13°20′ = 10.89, which puts it in nakshatra 11 of 27.

Abhijit12:53 PM – 1:41 PM
Daylight is split into 15 muhurtas of 49 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.

Daylight today is 731 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 91 minutes. On Sunday, Rahu Kaal is part 8. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it
