How this day differs

• Sunrise 06:52 (yesterday 06:52), sunset 17:20 (yesterday 17:19), daylight 10 h 28 min (yesterday 10 h 27 min).
• Between this sunrise and the next: moonrise 20:01, yesterday 18:50; moonset 08:57, yesterday 08:06.
• At 06:52 the tithi is Krishna Tritiya; at yesterday’s sunrise (06:52) it was Krishna Dvitiya.
• At 06:52 the Moon is in Pushya (Punarvasu at 06:52 yesterday), having moved from Mithuna (Gemini) into Karka (Cancer); the yoga is Vaidhriti (yesterday Brahma).
• Rahu Kaal moves from 10:47–12:06 on Friday (daylight part 4 of 8) to 09:29–10:48 on Saturday (part 3).

Lucknow lies at 26.84° N, 80.92° E; local solar noon is at 12:06. Against Bengaluru on the same date, sunrise here is 13 min later, sunset 41 min earlier and daylight 54 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 18 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.
