The whole day

At sunrise the Moon is 1.1° ahead of the Sun. 1.1 ÷ 12° = 0.09, which puts it in lunar day 1 of 30. Why tithis repeat or vanish

At sunrise the Moon is at 324.5° in the sidereal zodiac. 324.5 ÷ 13°20′ = 24.34, which puts it in nakshatra 25 of 27.
SunRises 6:42 AM, sets 6:15 PM
Daylight today is 11h 33m. Sunrise and sunset are when the Sun’s upper edge crosses the horizon, allowing for the way the atmosphere bends light.
Abhijit12:06 PM – 12:52 PM
Daylight is split into 15 muhurtas of 46 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.
Rahu Kaal8:09 AM – 9:36 AM
Daylight today is 693 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 87 minutes. On Monday, Rahu Kaal is part 2. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it
