At sunrise the Moon is 181.3° ahead of the Sun. 181.3 ÷ 12° = 15.11, which puts it in lunar day 16 of 30. Why tithis repeat or vanish
NakshatraDhanishta until 5:02 PMthen Shatabhisha until 7:46 PM, 18 Aug
At sunrise the Moon is at 301.4° in the sidereal zodiac. 301.4 ÷ 13°20′ = 22.60, which puts it in nakshatra 23 of 27.
SunRises 6:24 AM, sets 8:19 PM
Daylight today is 13h 55m. Sunrise and sunset are when the Sun’s upper edge crosses the horizon, allowing for the way the atmosphere bends light.
Abhijit12:54 PM – 1:49 PM
Daylight is split into 15 muhurtas of 56 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.
Rahu Kaal4:50 PM – 6:34 PM
Daylight today is 835 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 104 minutes. On Tuesday, Rahu Kaal is part 7. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it

A karana is half a tithi: each 6° the Moon gains on the Sun.
PakshaKrishna · waning
Shukla is the bright half, from new moon to full moon. Krishna is the dark half, from full moon to new moon.
MonthBhadrapada · Shravana 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
Moon · SunKumbha · Simha
Sidereal positions at sunrise: Moon 301.4°, Sun 120.1°. Sidereal means 24.24° (the Lahiri ayanamsa) behind the zodiac used in Western astrology.

MoonRises 8:28 PM, Sets 6:35 AM, 100% lit
A Hindu day runs from sunrise to sunrise, so a moonrise just before dawn belongs to the day before.

Why times differ in Toronto

At 43.7°N, 79.4°W, Toronto has 47 minutes more daylight than New Delhi today, which changes the length and timing of each traditional period. The tithi at sunrise differs from New Delhi’s today: sunrise here falls in a different lunar day.
