How this day differs

• Sunrise 07:19 (yesterday 07:18), sunset 17:29 (yesterday 17:28), daylight 10 h 10 min (yesterday 10 h 10 min).
• Between this sunrise and the next: moonrise 22:28, yesterday 21:22; moonset 10:39, yesterday 10:03.
• At 07:19 the tithi is Krishna Panchami; at yesterday’s sunrise (07:18) it was Krishna Chaturthi.
• At 07:19 the Moon is in Magha (Ashlesha at 07:18 yesterday), having moved from Karka (Cancer) into Simha (Leo); the yoga is Priti (yesterday Vishkambha).
• Rahu Kaal moves from 16:12–17:28 on Sunday (daylight part 8 of 8) to 08:35–09:51 on Monday (part 2).

Chandigarh lies at 30.74° N, 76.79° E; local solar noon is at 12:24. Against Bengaluru on the same date, sunrise here is 40 min later, sunset 33 min earlier and daylight 73 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.
