The whole day

Tomorrow
TithiChaturdashi until 9:42 AMthen Amavasya until 6:01 AM, 17 May
At sunrise the Moon is 346.2° ahead of the Sun. 346.2 ÷ 12° = 28.85, which puts it in lunar day 29 of 30. Why tithis repeat or vanish
NakshatraBharani until 10:01 PMthen Krittika until 7:02 PM, 17 May
At sunrise the Moon is at 17.0° in the sidereal zodiac. 17.0 ÷ 13°20′ = 1.28, which puts it in nakshatra 2 of 27.
SunRises 6:40 AM, sets 5:02 PM
Daylight today is 10h 22m. Sunrise and sunset are when the Sun’s upper edge crosses the horizon, allowing for the way the atmosphere bends light.
Abhijit11:31 AM – 12:12 PM
Daylight is split into 15 muhurtas of 42 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.
Rahu Kaal9:16 AM – 10:34 AM
Daylight today is 622 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 78 minutes. On Saturday, Rahu Kaal is part 3. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it
Full panchang
YogaSaubhagya until 2:56 PMthen Shobhana until 10:46 AM, 17 May
At sunrise the Sun and Moon’s longitudes add up to 47.8°. 47.8 ÷ 13°20′ = 3.59, which makes this yoga 4 of 27.
KaranaShakuni until 9:42 AMthen Chatushpada until 7:53 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 · SunMesha · Vrishabha
Sidereal positions at sunrise: Moon 17.0°, Sun 30.8°. Sidereal means 24.23° (the Lahiri ayanamsa) behind the zodiac used in Western astrology.
SamvatVikram 2083 · Shaka 1948
Vikram Samvat runs about 57 years ahead of the Gregorian year, and Shaka Samvat about 78 years behind it.
MoonSets 4:05 PM, 1.6% lit
A Hindu day runs from sunrise to sunrise, so a moonrise just before dawn belongs to the day before.

Gulika6:40 AM – 7:58 AM

Why times differ in Sydney

At 33.9°S, 151.2°E, Sydney has 194 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.
