How this day differs

• Sunrise 08:58 (yesterday 08:58), sunset 15:59 (yesterday 15:58), daylight 7 h 01 min (yesterday 7 h 00 min).
• Between this sunrise and the next: moonrise 15:53, yesterday 14:32; moonset 09:55, yesterday none.
• At 08:58 the tithi is Krishna Pratipada; at yesterday’s sunrise (08:58) it was Shukla Purnima.
• At 08:58 the Moon is in Ardra (Mrigashira at 08:58 yesterday), having moved from Vrishabha (Taurus) into Mithuna (Gemini); the yoga is Shukla (yesterday Shubha).
• Rahu Kaal moves from 12:28–13:21 on Wednesday (daylight part 5 of 8) to 13:21–14:14 on Thursday (part 6).

Moscow lies at 55.76° N, 37.62° E; local solar noon is at 12:29, with 7 h 01 min of daylight against 11 h 22 min in Bengaluru. The limbs end at the same instants everywhere; this page gives Moscow’s local clock.

Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika, Abhijit and Brahma muhurta

Each daylight part is 0 h 53 min today; the weekday picks which part is Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda or Gulika, which panchangas avoid for new work, while Abhijit (28 min) and Brahma muhurta count as favourable by tradition. Some panchangas reckon Brahma muhurta with fixed 48-minute muhurtas.
