• Between this sunrise and the next: moonrise 20:39, yesterday 19:36; moonset 09:04, yesterday 07:57.
• At 06:01 the tithi is Krishna Chaturthi; at yesterday’s sunrise (06:01) it was Krishna Tritiya.

Chennai lies at 13.09° N, 80.28° E; local solar noon is at 11:52. Against Bengaluru on the same date, sunrise here is 11 min earlier, sunset 11 min earlier and daylight as long; 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.
