About this day

Daylight runs 12 hours 5 minutes, within six minutes of an even twelve — the windows are close to equal.

The tithi, nakshatra and yoga run past midnight and end after tomorrow's sunrise, so they name two civil days.

The first change today is the karana, at 3:07 pm.

Rahu kalam takes the sixth of the eight parts of daylight on a Thursday, which puts it at 1:46 pm 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.
