How this day differs

• Sunrise 05:37 (yesterday 05:37), sunset 19:53 (yesterday 19:52), daylight 14 h 17 min (yesterday 14 h 16 min).
• Between this sunrise and the next: moonrise 02:45 (next day), yesterday 02:17 (next day); moonset 15:29, yesterday 14:28.
• At 05:37 the tithi is Krishna Ekadashi; at yesterday’s sunrise (05:37) it was Krishna Dashami.
• At 05:37 the Moon is in Hasta (Uttara Phalguni at 05:37 yesterday), in Kanya (Virgo); the yoga is Ayushman (yesterday Priti).

Sydney lies at 33.87° S, 151.21° E; local solar noon is at 12:45, with 14 h 17 min of daylight against 11 h 24 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 47 min today; the weekday picks which part is Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda or Gulika, which panchangas avoid for new work, while Abhijit (57 min) and Brahma muhurta count as favourable by tradition. Some panchangas reckon Brahma muhurta with fixed 48-minute muhurtas.

Ekadashi, Purnima and Amavasya

• Utpanna Ekadashi: Ekadashi tithi from Fri 4 Dec 2026, 04:34 to Sat 5 Dec 2026, 05:15. Dashami still holds at arunodaya (96 minutes before sunrise) on the Smarta day, so calendars differ: Smarta calendars keep the fast on Friday 4 December 2026 (today), Vaishnava calendars on Saturday 5 December 2026. Follow your own tradition. Ekadashi dates for 2026.

This page reports the tithi calculation and the sunrise rule. Fasting and festival days also follow regional and sectarian rules; when in doubt, follow your own tradition or temple calendar.

When each limb changes

Times are local in Sydney (Australia/Sydney). 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.

Method and limits

Calculated with the live Panchang’s model and checked against Drik Panchang on 28 city-and-date combinations (times within 2.3 minutes, moonrise and moonset within 6.4). Observance of fasts and festivals follows regional rules. Amrit Kaal, Varjyam and Durmuhurta are not calculated yet.
