The day, end to end
The Sun is below the horizon now — its path today, and which parts to time around
Daylight in eight parts
From sunrise to sunset is 13h 23m, and the tradition divides it into eight equal parts of 1h 40m. Three of them are the ones to leave alone — which three depends on the weekday.

- 208:31 – 10:11ShubhClear — open, and the practical slot left today.Favourable

02 · Eight parts of the day
Choghadiya
Daylight is divided into eight and night into eight, separately. The two are rarely the same length. So a day window and a night window on the same date usually differ — here 1h 40m against 1h 20m.

Why the place matters
Tithi, nakshatra and yoga depend only on the instant, so their end times are the same worldwide. Everything anchored to sunrise is not. The Vedic day runs sunrise to sunrise, and sunrise depends on latitude and longitude. Two cities can sit on different tithis at the same clock time, and their Rahu Kaal will differ by more than an hour. A panchang without a place is not really a panchang.
Not reprinted from an almanac
Every figure on this page was computed for this date and these coordinates from an ephemeris, then checked against JPL Horizons. A printed panchang rounds to the nearest minute for a whole region. This one resolves to the second for one point. So small disagreements with a paper almanac are expected, and ours is the one you can check.
