Daylight is split into 15 muhurtas of 36 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.
Rahu Kaal2:25 PM – 3:33 PM
Daylight today is 541 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 68 minutes. On Tuesday, Rahu Kaal is part 7. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it

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

MoonRises 10:15 PM, Sets 11:40 AM, 74% lit
A Hindu day runs from sunrise to sunrise, so a moonrise just before dawn belongs to the day before.
