At sunrise the Moon is 203.5° ahead of the Sun. 203.5 ÷ 12° = 16.96, which puts it in lunar day 17 of 30. Why tithis repeat or vanish

At sunrise the Moon is at 222.7° in the sidereal zodiac. 222.7 ÷ 13°20′ = 16.70, which puts it in nakshatra 17 of 27.
SunRises 6:32 AM, sets 5:12 PM
Daylight today is 10h 41m. Sunrise and sunset are when the Sun’s upper edge crosses the horizon, allowing for the way the atmosphere bends light.
Abhijit11:30 AM – 12:13 PM
Daylight is split into 15 muhurtas of 43 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.
Rahu Kaal7:52 AM – 9:12 AM
Daylight today is 641 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 80 minutes. On Monday, Rahu Kaal is part 2. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it
