The whole day
TomorrowTithiAshtami until 7:10 AM, 30 Mar
At sunrise the Moon is 265.0° ahead of the Sun. 265.0 ÷ 12° = 22.09, which puts it in lunar day 23 of 30. Why tithis repeat or vanish
NakshatraMula until 2:48 PMthen Purva Ashadha until 5:51 PM, 30 Mar
At sunrise the Moon is at 249.5° in the sidereal zodiac. 249.5 ÷ 13°20′ = 18.71, which puts it in nakshatra 19 of 27.
SunRises 6:59 AM, sets 7:30 PM
Daylight today is 12h 31m. Sunrise and sunset are when the Sun’s upper edge crosses the horizon, allowing for the way the atmosphere bends light.
Abhijit12:50 PM – 1:40 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 Kaal8:33 AM – 10:07 AM
Daylight today is 751 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 94 minutes. On Monday, Rahu Kaal is part 2. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it
