How this day differs

  • Sunrise 05:41 (yesterday 05:40), sunset 16:58 (yesterday 16:59), daylight 11 h 17 min (yesterday 11 h 18 min).
  • Between this sunrise and the next: moonrise 00:02 (next day), yesterday 23:00; moonset 12:32, yesterday 11:48.
  • At 05:41 the tithi is Krishna Ashtami; at yesterday’s sunrise (05:40) it was Krishna Saptami.
  • At 05:41 the Moon is in Ashlesha (Pushya at 05:40 yesterday), in Karka (Cancer); the yoga is Shubha (yesterday Sadhya).
  • Rahu Kaal moves from 15:34–16:59 on Sunday (daylight part 8 of 8) to 07:06–08:30 on Monday (part 2).

Kolkata lies at 22.56° N, 88.36° E; local solar noon is at 11:19. Against Bengaluru on the same date, sunrise here is 32 min earlier, sunset 54 min earlier and daylight 22 min shorter; the limbs end at the same clock times in both.

Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika, Abhijit and Brahma muhurta

Each daylight part is 1 h 25 min today; the weekday picks which part is Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda or Gulika, which panchangas avoid for new work, while Abhijit (45 min) and Brahma muhurta count as favourable by tradition. Some panchangas reckon Brahma muhurta with fixed 48-minute muhurtas.
