How this day differs

• Sunrise 05:43 (yesterday 05:42), sunset 20:07 (yesterday 20:07), daylight 14 h 24 min (yesterday 14 h 25 min).
• Between this sunrise and the next: moonrise 22:16, yesterday 21:31; moonset 07:42, yesterday 06:25.
• At 05:43 the tithi is Krishna Tritiya; at yesterday’s sunrise (05:42) it was Krishna Pratipada, and Krishna Dvitiya began and ended in between.
• At 05:43 the Moon is in Pushya (Ardra at 05:42 yesterday), having moved from Mithuna (Gemini) into Karka (Cancer); the yoga is Indra (yesterday Brahma).
• Rahu Kaal moves from 11:06–12:54 on Friday (daylight part 4 of 8) to 09:19–11:07 on Saturday (part 3).

Sydney lies at 33.87° S, 151.21° E; local solar noon is at 12:55, with 14 h 24 min of daylight against 11 h 22 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 48 min today; the weekday picks which part is Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda or Gulika, which panchangas avoid for new work, while Abhijit (58 min) and Brahma muhurta count as favourable by tradition. Some panchangas reckon Brahma muhurta with fixed 48-minute muhurtas.
