How this day differs

• Sunrise 05:59 (yesterday 05:58), sunset 16:51 (yesterday 16:51), daylight 10 h 52 min (yesterday 10 h 52 min).
• Between this sunrise and the next: moonrise 23:53, yesterday 22:56; moonset 11:47, yesterday 11:10.
• At 05:59 the tithi is Krishna Ashtami; at yesterday’s sunrise (05:58) it was Krishna Saptami.
• At 05:59 the Moon is in Magha (Ashlesha at 05:58 yesterday), having moved from Karka (Cancer) into Simha (Leo); the yoga is Vaidhriti (yesterday Indra).
• Rahu Kaal moves from 07:20–08:41 on Monday (daylight part 2 of 8) to 14:08–15:29 on Tuesday (part 7).

Kolkata lies at 22.56° N, 88.36° E; local solar noon is at 11:25. Against Bengaluru on the same date, sunrise here is 26 min earlier, sunset 60 min earlier and daylight 34 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 21 min today; the weekday picks which part is Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda or Gulika, which panchangas avoid for new work, while Abhijit (43 min) and Brahma muhurta count as favourable by tradition. Some panchangas reckon Brahma muhurta with fixed 48-minute muhurtas.
