How this day differs

• Sunrise 06:46 (yesterday 06:46), sunset 17:14 (yesterday 17:14), daylight 10 h 28 min (yesterday 10 h 29 min).
• Between this sunrise and the next: moonrise 10:30, yesterday 09:57; moonset 21:49, yesterday 20:55.
• At 06:46 the tithi is Shukla Panchami; at yesterday’s sunrise (06:46) it was Shukla Chaturthi.
• The Moon is still in Shravana at 06:46, in Makara (Capricorn); the yoga is Vyaghata (yesterday Dhruva).
• Rahu Kaal moves from 15:56–17:14 on Sunday (daylight part 8 of 8) to 08:05–09:23 on Monday (part 2).

Lucknow lies at 26.84° N, 80.92° E; local solar noon is at 12:00. Against Bengaluru on the same date, sunrise here is 14 min later, sunset 41 min earlier and daylight 55 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 19 min today; the weekday picks which part is Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda or Gulika, which panchangas avoid for new work, while Abhijit (42 min) and Brahma muhurta count as favourable by tradition. Some panchangas reckon Brahma muhurta with fixed 48-minute muhurtas.
