How this day differs

• Sunrise 08:06 (yesterday 08:05), sunset 15:58 (yesterday 15:57), daylight 7 h 52 min (yesterday 7 h 51 min).
• Between this sunrise and the next: moonrise 22:07, yesterday 20:42; moonset 10:44, yesterday 10:28.
• At 08:06 the tithi is Krishna Panchami; at yesterday’s sunrise (08:05) it was Krishna Chaturthi.
• At 08:06 the Moon is in Magha (Ashlesha at 08:05 yesterday), having moved from Karka (Cancer) into Simha (Leo); the yoga is Priti (yesterday Vishkambha).
• Rahu Kaal moves from 14:58–15:57 on Sunday (daylight part 8 of 8) to 09:05–10:04 on Monday (part 2).

London lies at 51.51° N, 0.13° W; local solar noon is at 12:02, with 7 h 52 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.

About this day

• The day is Monday, Somavara (Moon) in the tradition, from sunrise at 08:06 to the next sunrise at 08:06 (next day); the night lasts 16 h 08 min.
• Krishna Shashthi begins after this sunrise and ends before the next one, so it never names a day (a kshaya tithi).
• The 0 h 59 min day choghadiyas begin with Amrit and the 2 h 01 min night choghadiyas with Chal, as on every Monday.
• Tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana change 7 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.
