About this day
Daylight runs 12 hours 2 minutes, within six minutes of an even twelve — the windows are close to equal.
The nakshatra runs past midnight and ends after tomorrow's sunrise, so it names two civil days.
The first change today is the karana, at 10:15 am.
Rahu kalam takes the fourth of the eight parts of daylight on a Friday, which puts it at 10:44 am here.
Rahu kalam, yamagandam and gulikai · how each value is calculated · why the day starts at sunrise
Swiss Ephemeris, Lahiri ayanamsha, at Bengaluru's own horizon. The day runs sunrise to sunrise, so the limb named here is the one running at sunrise. Windows are eighths of the daylight.
