How this day differs

  • Sunrise 06:34 (yesterday 06:34), sunset 18:00 (yesterday 17:59), daylight 11 h 26 min (yesterday 11 h 25 min).
  • Between this sunrise and the next: moonrise 10:04, yesterday 09:28; moonset 22:25, yesterday 21:38.
  • At 06:34 the tithi is Shukla Panchami; at yesterday’s sunrise (06:34) it was Shukla Chaturthi.
  • At 06:34 the Moon is in Purva Bhadrapada (Shatabhisha at 06:34 yesterday), in Kumbha (Aquarius); the yoga is Variyan (yesterday Vyatipata).
  • Rahu Kaal moves from 15:08–16:34 on Tuesday (daylight part 7 of 8) to 12:17–13:43 on Wednesday (part 5).

Chennai lies at 13.09° N, 80.28° E; local solar noon is at 12:17. 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 26 min today; the weekday picks which part is Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda or Gulika, which panchangas avoid for new work, while Abhijit (46 min) and Brahma muhurta count as favourable by tradition. Some panchangas reckon Brahma muhurta with fixed 48-minute muhurtas.
