• At 06:03 the tithi is Krishna Chaturdashi; at yesterday’s sunrise (06:02) it was Krishna Trayodashi.

Kolkata lies at 22.56° N, 88.36° E; local solar noon is at 11:27. 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.
