How this day differs

  • Sunrise 05:42 (yesterday 05:41), sunset 16:57 (yesterday 16:58), daylight 11 h 15 min (yesterday 11 h 16 min).
  • Between this sunrise and the next: moonrise 01:57 (next day), yesterday 01:01 (next day); moonset 13:46, yesterday 13:11.
  • At 05:42 the tithi is Krishna Dashami; at yesterday’s sunrise (05:41) it was Krishna Navami.
  • At 05:42 the Moon is in Purva Phalguni (Magha at 05:41 yesterday), in Simha (Leo); the yoga is Brahma (yesterday Shukla).
  • Rahu Kaal moves from 14:09–15:33 on Tuesday (daylight part 7 of 8) to 11:19–12:44 on Wednesday (part 5).

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 55 min earlier and daylight 23 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 24 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.
