Bengaluru lies at 12.97° N, 77.59° E; local solar noon is at 12:04. Against Delhi on the same date, sunrise here is 14 min earlier, sunset 12 min later and daylight 26 min longer; the limbs end at the same clock times in both.

Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika, Abhijit and Brahma muhurta

Each daylight part is 1 h 28 min today; the weekday picks which part is Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda or Gulika, which panchangas avoid for new work, while Abhijit (47 min) and Brahma muhurta count as favourable by tradition. Some panchangas reckon Brahma muhurta with fixed 48-minute muhurtas.
