• At 06:26 the tithi is Shukla Tritiya; at yesterday’s sunrise (06:26) it was Shukla Dvitiya.

Thiruvananthapuram lies at 8.49° N, 76.95° E; local solar noon is at 12:15. Against Bengaluru on the same date, sunrise here is 5 min earlier, sunset 10 min later and daylight 15 min longer; the limbs end at the same clock times in both.

Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika, Abhijit and Brahma muhurta

Each daylight part is 1 h 27 min today; the weekday picks which part is Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda or Gulika, which panchangas avoid for new work, while Abhijit (47 min) and Brahma muhurta count as favourable by tradition. Some panchangas reckon Brahma muhurta with fixed 48-minute muhurtas.
