How this day differs

• Sunrise 05:36 (yesterday 05:36), sunset 19:02 (yesterday 19:03), daylight 13 h 26 min (yesterday 13 h 27 min).
• Between this sunrise and the next: moonrise 21:13, yesterday 20:38; moonset 08:35, yesterday 07:30.
• At 05:36 the tithi is Krishna Chaturthi; at yesterday’s sunrise (05:36) it was Krishna Dvitiya, and Krishna Tritiya began and ended in between.
• At 05:36 the Moon is in Purva Phalguni (Magha at 05:36 yesterday), in Simha (Leo); the yoga is Shobhana (yesterday Saubhagya).
• Rahu Kaal moves from 17:22–19:03 on Sunday (daylight part 8 of 8) to 07:17–08:58 on Monday (part 2).

Johannesburg lies at 26.20° S, 28.05° E; local solar noon is at 12:19, with 13 h 26 min of daylight against 11 h 31 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 41 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.

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.
