How this day differs

• Sunrise 05:59 (yesterday 06:00), sunset 19:19 (yesterday 19:18), daylight 13 h 20 min (yesterday 13 h 18 min).
• Between this sunrise and the next: moonrise 21:59, yesterday 20:45; moonset 06:51, yesterday 06:08.
• At 05:59 the tithi is Krishna Dvitiya; at yesterday’s sunrise (06:00) it was Krishna Pratipada.
• At 05:59 the Moon is in Krittika (Bharani at 06:00 yesterday), having moved from Mesha (Aries) into Vrishabha (Taurus); the yoga is Vyatipata (yesterday Siddhi).
• Rahu Kaal moves from 15:58–17:38 on Tuesday (daylight part 7 of 8) to 12:39–14:19 on Wednesday (part 5).

Sydney lies at 33.87° S, 151.21° E; local solar noon is at 12:39, with 13 h 20 min of daylight against 11 h 42 min in Bengaluru. The limbs end at the same instants everywhere; this page gives Sydney’s local clock.

Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika, Abhijit and Brahma muhurta

Each daylight part is 1 h 40 min today; the weekday picks which part is Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda or Gulika, which panchangas avoid for new work, while Abhijit (53 min) and Brahma muhurta count as favourable by tradition. Some panchangas reckon Brahma muhurta with fixed 48-minute muhurtas.
