About this day

Daylight lasts 12 hours and 9 minutes, so each eighth of the day, the length of Rahu Kalam, is about 91 minutes.

Between this sunrise and the next: tithi and karana at 6:43 am, nakshatra at 6:13 pm, karana at 6:21 pm, yoga at 4:05 am Wednesday, tithi and karana at 5:53 am Wednesday. Krishna Shashti begins and ends within the day, so no sunrise names it.

On a Tuesday, Rahu Kalam is the seventh of the eight parts of daylight, from 3:34 pm in Mumbai.
