How this day differs

• Sunrise 06:42 (yesterday 06:43), sunset 17:39 (yesterday 17:38), daylight 10 h 56 min (yesterday 10 h 55 min).
• Between this sunrise and the next: moonrise 23:45, yesterday 22:47; moonset 10:21, yesterday 09:47.
• At 06:42 the tithi is Krishna Saptami; at yesterday’s sunrise (06:43) it was Krishna Shashthi.
• At 06:42 the Moon is in Chitra (Hasta at 06:43 yesterday), in Kanya (Virgo); the yoga is Dhriti (yesterday Sukarma).
• Rahu Kaal moves from 12:10–13:32 on Wednesday (daylight part 5 of 8) to 13:32–14:54 on Thursday (part 6).

Varanasi lies at 25.32° N, 83.01° E; local solar noon is at 12:10. Against Bengaluru on the same date, sunrise here is 4 min earlier, sunset 39 min earlier and daylight 35 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.
