How this day differs

• Sunrise 06:46 (yesterday 06:46), sunset 18:23 (yesterday 18:23), daylight 11 h 37 min (yesterday 11 h 37 min).
• Between this sunrise and the next: moonrise 14:03, yesterday 13:08; moonset 03:13 (next day), yesterday 02:10 (next day).
• At 06:46 the tithi is Shukla Dashami; at yesterday’s sunrise (06:46) it was Shukla Navami.
• At 06:46 the Moon is in Krittika (Bharani at 06:46 yesterday), having moved from Mesha (Aries) into Vrishabha (Taurus); the yoga is Shubha (yesterday Sadhya).
• Rahu Kaal moves from 16:56–18:23 on Sunday (daylight part 8 of 8) to 08:13–09:40 on Monday (part 2).

Kochi lies at 9.94° N, 76.26° E; local solar noon is at 12:35. Against Bengaluru on the same date, sunrise here is at the same minute, sunset 10 min later and daylight 10 min longer; the limbs end at the same clock times in both.

Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika, Abhijit and Brahma muhurta

Each daylight part is 1 h 27 min today; the weekday picks which part is Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda or Gulika, which panchangas avoid for new work, while Abhijit (46 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, 10:28 to Tue 19 Jan 2027, 07:50. Dwadashi ends before the sunrise after the Ekadashi day, leaving no Dwadashi for parana, so calendars differ: Smarta calendars keep the fast on Monday 18 January 2027 (today), Vaishnava calendars on Tuesday 19 January 2027. Follow your own tradition. 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 Kochi (Asia/Kolkata). 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
