About this day
Daylight runs 12 hours 7 minutes — 7 minutes longer than an even twelve, so every window below is stretched wider than at the equinox.
The first change today is the nakshatra, at 9:09 am.
Rahu kalam takes the fifth of the eight parts of daylight on a Wednesday, which puts it at 12:09 pm 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.
