• At 07:18 the tithi is Krishna Amavasya; at yesterday’s sunrise (07:18) it was Krishna Chaturdashi.

Chicago lies at 41.88° N, 87.63° W; local solar noon is at 11:56, with 9 h 18 min of daylight against 11 h 24 min in Bengaluru. The limbs end at the same instants everywhere; this page gives Chicago’s local clock.

Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika, Abhijit and Brahma muhurta

Each daylight part is 1 h 10 min today; the weekday picks which part is Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda or Gulika, which panchangas avoid for new work, while Abhijit (37 min) and Brahma muhurta count as favourable by tradition. Some panchangas reckon Brahma muhurta with fixed 48-minute muhurtas.

Ekadashi, Purnima and Amavasya

• Margashirsha Amavasya: Amavasya tithi from Wed 6 Jan 2027, 11:45 to Thu 7 Jan 2027, 14:25. 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 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 Chicago (America/Chicago). 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.
