How this day differs

  • Sunrise 05:17 (yesterday 05:17), sunset 18:53 (yesterday 18:52), daylight 13 h 35 min (yesterday 13 h 36 min).
  • Between this sunrise and the next: moonrise 18:49, yesterday 17:41; no moonset.
  • At 05:17 the tithi is Shukla Purnima; at yesterday’s sunrise (05:17) it was Shukla Trayodashi, and Shukla Chaturdashi began and ended in between.
  • At 05:17 the Moon is in Mrigashira (Rohini at 05:17 yesterday), in Vrishabha (Taurus); the yoga is Shubha (yesterday Sadhya).
  • Rahu Kaal moves from 15:29–17:10 on Tuesday (daylight part 7 of 8) to 12:05–13:47 on Wednesday (part 5).

São Paulo lies at 23.55° S, 46.63° W; local solar noon is at 12:05, with 13 h 35 min of daylight against 11 h 22 min in Bengaluru. The limbs end at the same instants everywhere; this page gives São Paulo’s local clock.

Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika, Abhijit and Brahma muhurta

Each daylight part is 1 h 42 min today; the weekday picks which part is Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda or Gulika, which panchangas avoid for new work, while Abhijit (54 min) and Brahma muhurta count as favourable by tradition. Some panchangas reckon Brahma muhurta with fixed 48-minute muhurtas.
