About this day

Daylight lasts 14 hours and 42 minutes, so each eighth of the day, the length of Rahu Kalam, is about 110 minutes.

Between this sunrise and the next: nakshatra at 6:20 am, tithi and karana at 6:57 am, yoga at 11:47 am, karana at 5:13 pm, tithi and karana at 3:36 am Sunday, nakshatra at 3:43 am Sunday. Krishna Tritiya begins and ends within the day, so no sunrise names it.

On a Saturday, Rahu Kalam is the third of the eight parts of daylight, from 9:41 am in Auckland.
