Monday, Krishna Tadiya of Shravana, with the tithi running until 01:24 PM. No festival or major vratam falls today — an ordinary day, which is most of them.
Krishna Tadiya is a jaya — victorious tithi: Contest, courage and resolve. The moon is in Uttara Bhadrapada, depth and stillness — wisdom that has stopped struggling, holding until 08:15 AM, and the yoga is Shoola.
The day runs from 06:44 AM to 05:58 PM. Abhijit muhurta — the window centred on solar noon and held open to nearly anything — falls between 11:58 AM and 12:43 PM. Rahu kalam runs 08:08 AM to 09:32 AM.
The moon stands in Simha. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 11:58 AM and 12:43 PM. All of these are computed for Melbourne; change the city in the header and they move with it.
Timings are computed astronomically for the selected city and cross-referenced against the traditional panchangams in common use. Regional practice can differ by a day — please confirm important dates with the panchangam your family follows.
Sunrise and sunset in Melbourne
Every timing on this page — rahu kalam, yamagandam, gulika kalam and abhijit muhurta — is a fraction of the time between sunrise and sunset at Melbourne, so all of them move with the season. Across 2026 the sun rises here as early as 05:51 and as late as 07:37, a swing of 1 hour 45 minutes, and the daylight it encloses runs from 9 hours 33 minutes at the shortest to 14 hours 47 minutes at the longest.
Solar noon at Melbourne falls about 23 minutes later than at Ujjain, the reference meridian printed panchangams are calculated to. That gap is the usual reason a timing here does not match the one on a wall calendar — neither is wrong; they are computed for different places. This city also changes its civil clock during the year, and the timings above follow that change rather than a fixed offset.
