How this day differs

• Sunrise 07:17 (yesterday 07:16), sunset 17:26 (yesterday 17:26), daylight 10 h 09 min (yesterday 10 h 10 min).
• Between this sunrise and the next: no moonrise; moonset 16:39, yesterday 15:56.
• At 07:17 the tithi is Krishna Amavasya; at yesterday’s sunrise (07:16) it was Krishna Chaturdashi.
• At 07:17 the Moon is in Anuradha (Vishakha at 07:16 yesterday), having moved from Tula (Libra) into Vrishchika (Scorpio); the yoga is Sukarma (yesterday Atiganda).
• Rahu Kaal moves from 08:32–09:49 on Monday (daylight part 2 of 8) to 14:54–16:10 on Tuesday (part 7).

Amritsar lies at 31.62° N, 74.88° E; local solar noon is at 12:22. Against Bengaluru on the same date, sunrise here is 48 min later, sunset 27 min earlier and daylight 75 min shorter; the limbs end at the same clock times in both.

Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika, Abhijit and Brahma muhurta

Each daylight part is 1 h 16 min today; the weekday picks which part is Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda or Gulika, which panchangas avoid for new work, while Abhijit (41 min) and Brahma muhurta count as favourable by tradition. Some panchangas reckon Brahma muhurta with fixed 48-minute muhurtas.

Ekadashi, Purnima and Amavasya

• Kartika Amavasya: Amavasya tithi from Tue 8 Dec 2026, 04:13 to Wed 9 Dec 2026, 06:22. Amavasya is in effect at sunrise. Vrat and puja days can fall on the previous day where the rule looks at moonrise, evening or midday instead. Amavasya dates for 2026.

This page reports the tithi calculation and the sunrise rule. Fasting and festival days also follow regional and sectarian rules; when in doubt, follow your own tradition or temple calendar.

When each limb changes

Times are local in Amritsar (Asia/Kolkata). The first of each is in effect at sunrise; each next one begins where the previous ends. “Next day” means after midnight, before the next sunrise.
