How this day differs

• Sunrise 07:12 (yesterday 07:13), sunset 16:51 (yesterday 16:50), daylight 9 h 39 min (yesterday 9 h 37 min).
• Between this sunrise and the next: moonrise 15:55, yesterday 14:35; no moonset.
• At 07:12 the tithi is Shukla Chaturdashi; at yesterday’s sunrise (07:13) it was Shukla Trayodashi.
• At 07:12 the Moon is in Punarvasu (Ardra at 07:13 yesterday), in Mithuna (Gemini); the yoga is Vishkambha (yesterday Indra).
• Rahu Kaal moves from 12:01–13:13 on Wednesday (daylight part 5 of 8) to 13:14–14:26 on Thursday (part 6).

Chicago lies at 41.88° N, 87.63° W; local solar noon is at 12:02, with 9 h 39 min of daylight against 11 h 29 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 12 min today; the weekday picks which part is Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda or Gulika, which panchangas avoid for new work, while Abhijit (39 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, 10:00 to Fri 22 Jan 2027, 06:17. This Purnima begins after sunrise and ends before the next sunrise. Observance days depend on regional rules. 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 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.

About this day

• The day is Thursday, Guruvara (Jupiter) in the tradition, from sunrise at 07:12 to the next sunrise at 07:11 (next day); the night lasts 14 h 20 min.
• Shukla Purnima begins after this sunrise and ends before the next one, so it never names a day (a kshaya tithi).
• The 1 h 12 min day choghadiyas begin with Shubh and the 1 h 48 min night choghadiyas with Amrit, as on every Thursday.
• Tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana change 7 times in all between this sunrise and the next.

Method and limits

Calculated with the live Panchang’s model and checked against Drik Panchang on 28 city-and-date combinations (times within 2.3 minutes, moonrise and moonset within 6.4). Observance of fasts and festivals follows regional rules. Amrit Kaal, Varjyam and Durmuhurta are not calculated yet.
