How this day differs

• Sunrise 08:05 (yesterday 08:05), sunset 15:56 (yesterday 15:55), daylight 7 h 51 min (yesterday 7 h 50 min).
• Between this sunrise and the next: moonrise 19:13, yesterday 17:39; moonset 10:07, yesterday 09:39.
• At 08:05 the tithi is Krishna Tritiya; at yesterday’s sunrise (08:05) it was Krishna Dvitiya.
• At 08:05 the Moon is in Pushya (Punarvasu at 08:05 yesterday), having moved from Mithuna (Gemini) into Karka (Cancer); the yoga is Vaidhriti (yesterday Indra).
• Rahu Kaal moves from 11:01–12:00 on Friday (daylight part 4 of 8) to 10:03–11:02 on Saturday (part 3).

London lies at 51.51° N, 0.13° W; local solar noon is at 12:01, with 7 h 51 min of daylight against 11 h 22 min in Bengaluru. The limbs end at the same instants everywhere; this page gives London’s local clock.

Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika, Abhijit and Brahma muhurta

Each daylight part is 0 h 59 min today; the weekday picks which part is Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda or Gulika, which panchangas avoid for new work, while Abhijit (31 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 London (Europe/London). 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.

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.
