How this day differs

  • Sunrise 05:10 (yesterday 05:11), sunset 18:33 (yesterday 18:33), daylight 13 h 23 min (yesterday 13 h 22 min).
  • Between this sunrise and the next: moonrise 08:55, yesterday 08:01; moonset 23:07, yesterday 22:24.
  • At 05:10 the tithi is Shukla Panchami; at yesterday’s sunrise (05:11) it was Shukla Chaturthi.
  • At 05:10 the Moon is in Purva Ashadha (Mula at 05:11 yesterday), in Dhanu (Sagittarius); the yoga is Shula (yesterday Dhriti).
  • Rahu Kaal moves from 10:12–11:52 on Friday (daylight part 4 of 8) to 08:31–10:12 on Saturday (part 3).

Johannesburg lies at 26.20° S, 28.05° E; local solar noon is at 11:52, with 13 h 23 min of daylight against 11 h 32 min in Bengaluru. The limbs end at the same instants everywhere; this page gives Johannesburg’s local clock.

Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika, Abhijit and Brahma muhurta

Each daylight part is 1 h 40 min today; the weekday picks which part is Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda or Gulika, which panchangas avoid for new work, while Abhijit (54 min) and Brahma muhurta count as favourable by tradition. Some panchangas reckon Brahma muhurta with fixed 48-minute muhurtas.
