How this day differs

• Sunrise 05:37 (yesterday 05:36), sunset 19:02 (yesterday 19:02), daylight 13 h 25 min (yesterday 13 h 26 min).
• Between this sunrise and the next: moonrise 21:46, yesterday 21:13; moonset 09:37, yesterday 08:35.
• At 05:37 the tithi is Krishna Panchami; at yesterday’s sunrise (05:36) it was Krishna Chaturthi.
• At 05:37 the Moon is in Uttara Phalguni (Purva Phalguni at 05:36 yesterday), having moved from Simha (Leo) into Kanya (Virgo); the yoga is Atiganda (yesterday Shobhana).
• Rahu Kaal moves from 07:17–08:58 on Monday (daylight part 2 of 8) to 15:41–17:21 on Tuesday (part 7).

Johannesburg lies at 26.20° S, 28.05° E; local solar noon is at 12:20, with 13 h 25 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.
