How this day differs

  • Sunrise 05:45 (yesterday 05:44), sunset 16:55 (yesterday 16:55), daylight 11 h 10 min (yesterday 11 h 11 min).
  • Between this sunrise and the next: no moonrise; moonset 16:42, yesterday 16:03.
  • At 05:45 the tithi is Krishna Amavasya; at yesterday’s sunrise (05:44) it was Krishna Chaturdashi.
  • At 05:45 the Moon is in Swati (Chitra at 05:44 yesterday), in Tula (Libra); the yoga is Saubhagya (yesterday Ayushman).
  • Rahu Kaal moves from 15:31–16:55 on Sunday (daylight part 8 of 8) to 07:09–08:32 on Monday (part 2).

Kolkata lies at 22.56° N, 88.36° E; local solar noon is at 11:20. Against Bengaluru on the same date, sunrise here is 30 min earlier, sunset 55 min earlier and daylight 25 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.

Ekadashi, Purnima and Amavasya

  • Ashwina Amavasya: Amavasya tithi from Sun 8 Nov 2026, 11:28 to Mon 9 Nov 2026, 12:32. Amavasya is in effect at sunrise. Vrat and puja days can fall on the previous day where the rule looks at moonrise, evening or midday instead. Amavasya dates for 2026.

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 Kolkata (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.
