How this day differs

• Sunrise 06:14 (yesterday 06:13), sunset 17:52 (yesterday 17:52), daylight 11 h 38 min (yesterday 11 h 39 min).
• Between this sunrise and the next: moonrise 15:00, yesterday 14:19; moonset 03:40 (next day), yesterday 02:48 (next day).
• At 06:14 the tithi is Shukla Ekadashi; at yesterday’s sunrise (06:13) it was Shukla Dashami.
• At 06:14 the Moon is in Uttara Bhadrapada (Purva Bhadrapada at 06:13 yesterday), in Mina (Pisces); the yoga is Siddhi (yesterday Harshana).
• Rahu Kaal moves from 10:35–12:03 on Friday (daylight part 4 of 8) to 09:08–10:36 on Saturday (part 3).

Madurai lies at 9.92° N, 78.12° E; local solar noon is at 12:03. Against Bengaluru on the same date, sunrise here is 6 min earlier, sunset 3 min later and daylight 9 min longer; the limbs end at the same clock times in both.

Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika, Abhijit and Brahma muhurta

Each daylight part is 1 h 27 min today; the weekday picks which part is Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda or Gulika, which panchangas avoid for new work, while Abhijit (47 min) and Brahma muhurta count as favourable by tradition. Some panchangas reckon Brahma muhurta with fixed 48-minute muhurtas.

Ekadashi, Purnima and Amavasya

• Devutthana Ekadashi: Ekadashi tithi from Fri 20 Nov 2026, 07:16 to Sat 21 Nov 2026, 06:32. Dwadashi ends before the sunrise after the Ekadashi day, leaving no Dwadashi for parana, so calendars differ: Smarta calendars keep the fast on Friday 20 November 2026, Vaishnava calendars on Saturday 21 November 2026 (today). Follow your own tradition. Parana (breaking the Smarta fast) today: after 12:08, once Hari Vasara is over, and before Dwadashi ends at Sun 22 Nov 2026, 04:57; many calendars recommend finishing by 08:33. Ekadashi dates for 2026.

This page reports the tithi calculation and the sunrise rule. Fasting and festival days also follow regional and sectarian rules; when in doubt, follow your own tradition or temple calendar.

When each limb changes

Times are local in Madurai (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 06:14 to the next sunrise at 06:14 (next day); the night lasts 12 h 22 min.
• Shukla Dvadashi begins after this sunrise and ends before the next one, so it never names a day (a kshaya tithi).
• The 1 h 27 min day choghadiyas begin with Kaal and the 1 h 33 min night choghadiyas with Labh, as on every Saturday.
• Tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana change 8 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.
