At sunrise the Moon is 155.6° ahead of the Sun. 155.6 ÷ 12° = 12.97, which puts it in lunar day 13 of 30. Why tithis repeat or vanish

At sunrise the Moon is at 71.9° in the sidereal zodiac. 71.9 ÷ 13°20′ = 5.39, which puts it in nakshatra 6 of 27.
SunRises 6:05 AM, sets 8:07 PM
Daylight today is 14h 3m. Sunrise and sunset are when the Sun’s upper edge crosses the horizon, allowing for the way the atmosphere bends light.
Abhijit12:38 PM – 1:34 PM
Daylight is split into 15 muhurtas of 56 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.
Rahu Kaal2:51 PM – 4:37 PM
Daylight today is 843 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 105 minutes. On Thursday, Rahu Kaal is part 6. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it
