About this day
Daylight lasts 11 hours and 5 minutes, so each eighth of the day, the length of Rahu Kalam, is about 83 minutes.
Between this sunrise and the next: tithi and karana at 7:58 am, karana at 6:45 pm, yoga at 11:35 pm, nakshatra at 3:30 am Sunday, tithi and karana at 5:37 am Sunday. Krishna Shashti begins and ends within the day, so no sunrise names it.
On a Saturday, Rahu Kalam is the third of the eight parts of daylight, from 9:07 am in Visakhapatnam.
