How this day differs

• Sunrise 08:38 (yesterday 08:37), sunset 16:54 (yesterday 16:54), daylight 8 h 16 min (yesterday 8 h 17 min).
• Between this sunrise and the next: moonrise 12:32, yesterday 12:17; moonset 00:30 (next day), yesterday 23:20.
• At 08:38 the tithi is Shukla Saptami; at yesterday’s sunrise (08:37) it was Shukla Shashthi.
• The Moon is still in Shatabhisha at 08:38, in Kumbha (Aquarius); the yoga is Vajra (yesterday Harshana).
• Rahu Kaal moves from 14:49–15:51 on Tuesday (daylight part 7 of 8) to 12:46–13:48 on Wednesday (part 5).

Paris lies at 48.86° N, 2.35° E; local solar noon is at 12:46, with 8 h 16 min of daylight against 11 h 22 min in Bengaluru. The limbs end at the same instants everywhere; this page gives Paris’s local clock.

Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika, Abhijit and Brahma muhurta

Each daylight part is 1 h 02 min today; the weekday picks which part is Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda or Gulika, which panchangas avoid for new work, while Abhijit (33 min) and Brahma muhurta count as favourable by tradition. Some panchangas reckon Brahma muhurta with fixed 48-minute muhurtas.
