The whole day

At sunrise the Moon is 347.5° ahead of the Sun. 347.5 ÷ 12° = 28.96, which puts it in lunar day 29 of 30. Why tithis repeat or vanish
NakshatraBharani until 8:01 PMthen Krittika until 5:02 PM, 17 May
At sunrise the Moon is at 18.4° in the sidereal zodiac. 18.4 ÷ 13°20′ = 1.38, which puts it in nakshatra 2 of 27.
SunRises 6:55 AM, sets 7:06 PM
Daylight today is 12h 11m. Sunrise and sunset are when the Sun’s upper edge crosses the horizon, allowing for the way the atmosphere bends light.
Abhijit12:37 PM – 1:25 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.
Rahu Kaal9:58 AM – 11:30 AM
Daylight today is 731 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 91 minutes. On Saturday, Rahu Kaal is part 3. 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.

MonthJyeshtha · Vaishakha in the south and west
North India usually ends a month at full moon, and much of the south and west at new moon. In the dark fortnight, the two count different months. Why there are two names

A Hindu day runs from sunrise to sunrise, so a moonrise just before dawn belongs to the day before.

Why times differ in Singapore
