At sunrise the Moon is 49.1° ahead of the Sun. 49.1 ÷ 12° = 4.09, which puts it in lunar day 5 of 30. Why tithis repeat or vanish

At sunrise the Moon is at 16.5° in the sidereal zodiac. 16.5 ÷ 13°20′ = 1.24, which puts it in nakshatra 2 of 27.

Abhijit12:04 PM – 12:51 PM
Daylight is split into 15 muhurtas of 47 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.
