About this day

Daylight lasts 12 hours and 5 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 6:44 am, nakshatra at 6:46 am, yoga at 8:53 am, karana at 5:34 pm, tithi and karana at 4:22 am Thursday, nakshatra at 5:08 am Thursday, yoga at 5:47 am Thursday. Shukla Dashami begins and ends within the day, so no sunrise names it.

On a Wednesday, Rahu Kalam is the fifth of the eight parts of daylight, from 12:24 pm in Trichy.
