How this day differs

  • Sunrise 06:14 (yesterday 06:14), sunset 17:09 (yesterday 17:10), daylight 10 h 55 min (yesterday 10 h 56 min).
  • Between this sunrise and the next: moonrise 11:09, yesterday 10:28; moonset 22:01, yesterday 21:06.
  • At 06:14 the tithi is Shukla Shashthi; at yesterday’s sunrise (06:14) it was Shukla Panchami.
  • At 06:14 the Moon is in Uttara Ashadha (Purva Ashadha at 06:14 yesterday), having moved from Dhanu (Sagittarius) into Makara (Capricorn); the yoga is Shula (yesterday Shula).
  • Rahu Kaal moves from 08:58–10:20 on Saturday (daylight part 3 of 8) to 15:48–17:09 on Sunday (part 8).

Varanasi lies at 25.32° N, 83.01° E; local solar noon is at 11:42. Against Bengaluru on the same date, sunrise here is 4 min earlier, sunset 41 min earlier and daylight 37 min shorter; the limbs end at the same clock times in both.

Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika, Abhijit and Brahma muhurta

Each daylight part is 1 h 22 min today; the weekday picks which part is Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda or Gulika, which panchangas avoid for new work, while Abhijit (44 min) and Brahma muhurta count as favourable by tradition. Some panchangas reckon Brahma muhurta with fixed 48-minute muhurtas.
