About this day
Pitru Paksha (Mahalaya Paksha) is running — day 6 of 14. The tithi at sunrise is Krishna Shashthi, holding until 02:48 PM, in the month of Bhadrapada; the moon stands in Rohini, growth and abundance — the most fertile ground in the zodiac, which holds until 08:58 AM. The tithi to reckon shraddha by is not this one but the one prevailing in aparahna, the afternoon: today that is Krishna Shashthi. A parent's or grandparent's rite is performed on the day their tithi falls in aparahna, and Mahalaya Amavasya at the close of the fortnight gathers everyone whose tithi is not known.
The day begins at 05:55 AM and closes at 06:25 PM. Rahu kalam runs 10:36 AM to 12:10 PM, and abhijit muhurta falls between 11:45 AM and 12:35 PM.
The yoga is Vyatipata and the karana Vanija, the moon stands in Kanya. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 11:45 AM and 12:35 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. Printed and regional panchangams can differ, and 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.
