How this day differs

  • Sunrise 06:05 (yesterday 06:04), sunset 16:52 (yesterday 16:52), daylight 10 h 47 min (yesterday 10 h 48 min).
  • Between this sunrise and the next: moonrise 07:08, yesterday 06:16; moonset 17:50, yesterday 16:58.
  • At 06:05 the tithi is Shukla Pratipada; at yesterday’s sunrise (06:04) it was Krishna Amavasya.
  • At 06:05 the Moon is in Mula (Jyeshtha at 06:04 yesterday), having moved from Vrishchika (Scorpio) into Dhanu (Sagittarius); the yoga is Shula (yesterday Dhriti).
  • Rahu Kaal moves from 11:28–12:49 on Wednesday (daylight part 5 of 8) to 12:50–14:10 on Thursday (part 6).

Kolkata lies at 22.56° N, 88.36° E; local solar noon is at 11:29. Against Bengaluru on the same date, sunrise here is 25 min earlier, sunset 61 min earlier and daylight 36 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.
