How this day differs

  • Sunrise 06:35 (yesterday 06:35), sunset 18:04 (yesterday 18:04), daylight 11 h 29 min (yesterday 11 h 29 min).
  • Between this sunrise and the next: moonrise 18:02, yesterday 16:54; no moonset.
  • At 06:35 the tithi is Shukla Purnima; at yesterday’s sunrise (06:35) it was Shukla Chaturdashi.
  • At 06:35 the Moon is in Punarvasu (Ardra at 06:35 yesterday), having moved from Mithuna (Gemini) into Karka (Cancer); the yoga is Vishkambha (yesterday Vaidhriti).
  • Rahu Kaal moves from 13:46–15:12 on Thursday (daylight part 6 of 8) to 10:54–12:20 on Friday (part 4).

Chennai lies at 13.09° N, 80.28° E; local solar noon is at 12:20. 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.

Ekadashi, Purnima and Amavasya

  • Pausha Purnima: Purnima tithi from Thu 21 Jan 2027, 21:30 to Fri 22 Jan 2027, 17:47. Purnima 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. Purnima dates for 2027.

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 Chennai (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.
