The whole day

Tomorrow
TithiTritiya until 9:55 AMthen Chaturthi until 12:22 PM, 6 May
At sunrise the Moon is 214.5° ahead of the Sun. 214.5 ÷ 12° = 17.87, which puts it in lunar day 18 of 30. Why tithis repeat or vanish
NakshatraJyeshtha until 5:25 PMthen Mula until 8:24 PM, 6 May
At sunrise the Moon is at 234.6° in the sidereal zodiac. 234.6 ÷ 13°20′ = 17.60, which puts it in nakshatra 18 of 27.
SunRises 6:32 AM, sets 5:11 PM
Daylight today is 10h 39m. 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 Kaal2:31 PM – 3:51 PM
Daylight today is 639 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 80 minutes. On Tuesday, Rahu Kaal is part 7. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it
Full panchang
YogaShiva until 4:47 AM, 6 Maythen Siddha until 5:42 AM, 7 May
At sunrise the Sun and Moon’s longitudes add up to 254.8°. 254.8 ÷ 13°20′ = 19.11, which makes this yoga 20 of 27.
KaranaVishti until 9:55 AMthen Bava until 11:08 PM
A karana is half a tithi: each 6° the Moon gains on the Sun.
PakshaKrishna · waning
Shukla is the bright half, from new moon to full moon. Krishna is the dark half, from full moon to new moon.
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
Moon · SunVrishchika · Mesha
Sidereal positions at sunrise: Moon 234.6°, Sun 20.2°. Sidereal means 24.23° (the Lahiri ayanamsa) behind the zodiac used in Western astrology.

Vikram Samvat runs about 57 years ahead of the Gregorian year, and Shaka Samvat about 78 years behind it.
MoonRises 7:22 PM, Sets 9:39 AM, 91% lit
A Hindu day runs from sunrise to sunrise, so a moonrise just before dawn belongs to the day before.
Yamaganda9:12 AM – 10:32 AM
This is part 3 of today’s 8 parts of daylight, each 80 minutes long. The part changes with the weekday.
Gulika11:52 AM – 1:12 PM

Why times differ in Sydney

At 33.9°S, 151.2°E, Sydney has 163 minutes less 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.
