The whole day

Tomorrow

At sunrise the Moon is 359.3° ahead of the Sun. 359.3 ÷ 12° = 29.94, which puts it in lunar day 30 of 30. Why tithis repeat or vanish
NakshatraPurva Ashadha until 2:43 PMthen Uttara Ashadha until 5:46 PM, 9 Jan
At sunrise the Moon is at 262.3° in the sidereal zodiac. 262.3 ÷ 13°20′ = 19.67, which puts it in nakshatra 20 of 27.
SunRises 5:53 AM, sets 8:10 PM
Daylight today is 14h 18m. Sunrise and sunset are when the Sun’s upper edge crosses the horizon, allowing for the way the atmosphere bends light.
Abhijit12:33 PM – 1:30 PM
Daylight is split into 15 muhurtas of 57 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.
Rahu Kaal11:14 AM – 1:01 PM
Daylight today is 858 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 107 minutes. On Friday, Rahu Kaal is part 4. 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.
PakshaKrishna · waning
Shukla is the bright half, from new moon to full moon. Krishna is the dark half, from full moon to new moon.
MonthPausha · Margashirsha 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 · SunDhanu · Dhanu
Sidereal positions at sunrise: Moon 262.3°, Sun 263.0°. 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.

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

Why times differ in Sydney

At 33.9°S, 151.2°E, Sydney has 232 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.
