How this day differs

• Sunrise 05:32 (yesterday 05:31), sunset 19:04 (yesterday 19:04), daylight 13 h 32 min (yesterday 13 h 33 min).
• Between this sunrise and the next: moonrise 16:19, yesterday 15:11; moonset 02:46 (next day), yesterday 01:43 (next day).
• At 05:32 the tithi is Shukla Dvadashi; at yesterday’s sunrise (05:31) it was Shukla Dashami, and Shukla Ekadashi began and ended in between.
• At 05:32 the Moon is in Rohini (Krittika at 05:31 yesterday), in Vrishabha (Taurus); the yoga is Brahma (yesterday Shubha).
• Rahu Kaal moves from 07:12–08:54 on Monday (daylight part 2 of 8) to 15:41–17:22 on Tuesday (part 7).

Johannesburg lies at 26.20° S, 28.05° E; local solar noon is at 12:18, with 13 h 32 min of daylight against 11 h 28 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 42 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.

Ekadashi, Purnima and Amavasya

• Pausha Putrada Ekadashi: Ekadashi tithi from Mon 18 Jan 2027, 06:58 to Tue 19 Jan 2027, 04:20. Ekadashi touches no sunrise, so calendars differ: Smarta calendars keep the fast on Monday 18 January 2027, Vaishnava calendars on Tuesday 19 January 2027 (today). Follow your own tradition. Parana (breaking the Smarta fast) today: after 09:33, once Hari Vasara is over, and before Dwadashi ends at Wed 20 Jan 2027, 01:12; many calendars recommend finishing by 08:14. Ekadashi 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 Johannesburg (Africa/Johannesburg). 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.
