Abhijit12:30 PM – 1:27 PM
Daylight is split into 15 muhurtas of 58 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.
Rahu Kaal2:46 PM – 4:34 PM
Daylight today is 862 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 108 minutes. On Thursday, Rahu Kaal is part 6. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it

Why times differ in Sydney

At 33.9°S, 151.2°E, Sydney has 240 minutes more daylight than New Delhi today, which changes the length and timing of each traditional period. The tithi at sunrise differs from New Delhi’s today: sunrise here falls in a different lunar day.
