At sunrise the Moon is 144.4° ahead of the Sun. 144.4 ÷ 12° = 12.03, which puts it in lunar day 13 of 30. Why tithis repeat or vanish

At sunrise the Moon is at 29.8° in the sidereal zodiac. 29.8 ÷ 13°20′ = 2.24, which puts it in nakshatra 3 of 27.
SunRises 7:48 AM, sets 4:44 PM
Daylight today is 8h 56m. Sunrise and sunset are when the Sun’s upper edge crosses the horizon, allowing for the way the atmosphere bends light.
Abhijit11:58 AM – 12:34 PM
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 Kaal8:55 AM – 10:02 AM
Daylight today is 536 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 67 minutes. On Monday, Rahu Kaal is part 2. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it
