At sunrise the Moon is 262.2° ahead of the Sun. 262.2 ÷ 12° = 21.85, which puts it in lunar day 22 of 30. Why tithis repeat or vanish

At sunrise the Moon is at 145.5° in the sidereal zodiac. 145.5 ÷ 13°20′ = 10.91, which puts it in nakshatra 11 of 27.
SunRises 5:40 AM, sets 8:05 PM

Abhijit12:24 PM – 1:21 PM
Daylight is split into 15 muhurtas of 58 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.
Rahu Kaal7:28 AM – 9:16 AM
Daylight today is 865 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 108 minutes. On Monday, Rahu Kaal is part 2. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it
