How this day differs

• Sunrise 06:18 (yesterday 06:18), sunset 17:08 (yesterday 17:07), daylight 10 h 50 min (yesterday 10 h 50 min).
• Between this sunrise and the next: moonrise 07:18, yesterday 06:38; moonset 18:26, yesterday 17:33.
• At 06:18 the tithi is Shukla Dvitiya; at yesterday’s sunrise (06:18) it was Shukla Pratipada.
• At 06:18 the Moon is in Uttara Ashadha (Purva Ashadha at 06:18 yesterday), having moved from Dhanu (Sagittarius) into Makara (Capricorn); the yoga is Harshana (yesterday Vyaghata).
• Rahu Kaal moves from 10:21–11:43 on Friday (daylight part 4 of 8) to 09:00–10:22 on Saturday (part 3).

Kolkata lies at 22.56° N, 88.36° E; local solar noon is at 11:43. 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.

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.

About this day

• The day is Saturday, Shanivara (Saturn) in the tradition, from sunrise at 06:18 to the next sunrise at 06:18 (next day); the night lasts 13 h 10 min.
• Shukla Dvitiya is in effect at this sunrise and still at the next one, so the same tithi names two consecutive days (a vriddhi tithi).
• The 1 h 21 min day choghadiyas begin with Kaal and the 1 h 39 min night choghadiyas with Labh, as on every Saturday.
• Tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana change 3 times in all between this sunrise and the next.

Method and limits

Calculated with the live Panchang’s model and checked against Drik Panchang on 28 city-and-date combinations (times within 2.3 minutes, moonrise and moonset within 6.4). Observance of fasts and festivals follows regional rules. Amrit Kaal, Varjyam and Durmuhurta are not calculated yet.
