About this day

Daylight runs 11 hours 55 minutes, within six minutes of an even twelve — the windows are close to equal.

The first change today is the karana, at 7:18 am.

Rahu kalam takes the third of the eight parts of daylight on a Saturday, which puts it at 9:04 am here.

Rahu kalam, yamagandam and gulikai · how each value is calculated · why the day starts at sunrise

How this was computed
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.
