How this day differs

• Sunrise 06:23 (yesterday 06:23), sunset 16:59 (yesterday 16:59), daylight 10 h 35 min (yesterday 10 h 36 min).
• Between this sunrise and the next: moonrise 06:38, yesterday none; moonset 17:03, yesterday 16:14.
• At 06:23 the tithi is Shukla Pratipada; at yesterday’s sunrise (06:23) it was Krishna Amavasya.
• At 06:23 the Moon is in Jyeshtha (Anuradha at 06:23 yesterday), in Vrishchika (Scorpio); the yoga is Dhriti (yesterday Sukarma).
• Rahu Kaal moves from 14:20–15:39 on Tuesday (daylight part 7 of 8) to 11:41–13:01 on Wednesday (part 5).

Patna lies at 25.59° N, 85.14° E; local solar noon is at 11:41. Against Bengaluru on the same date, sunrise here is 7 min earlier, sunset 54 min earlier and daylight 47 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.

When each limb changes

Times are local in Patna (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 Wednesday, Budhavara (Mercury) in the tradition, from sunrise at 06:23 to the next sunrise at 06:24 (next day); the night lasts 13 h 25 min.
• Shukla Pratipada is in effect at this sunrise and still at the next one, so the same tithi names two consecutive days (a vriddhi tithi).
• The 1 h 19 min day choghadiyas begin with Labh and the 1 h 41 min night choghadiyas with Udveg, as on every Wednesday.
• Tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana change 3 times in all between this sunrise and the next.

Method and limits
