At sunrise the Moon is 118.4° ahead of the Sun. 118.4 ÷ 12° = 9.86, which puts it in lunar day 10 of 30. Why tithis repeat or vanish

At sunrise the Moon is at 91.1° in the sidereal zodiac. 91.1 ÷ 13°20′ = 6.83, which puts it in nakshatra 7 of 27.

Abhijit12:39 PM – 1:28 PM
Daylight is split into 15 muhurtas of 49 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.
