How this is computed

  • Sunrise and sunset are the centre of the Sun's disc without refraction (the Hindu rising used in Jyotish); the almanac times with the upper limb and refraction are shown alongside.
  • Sidereal positions under the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa, 24.2337°.
  • The Hindu day runs from sunrise to sunrise and the vara is the weekday of the sunrise. End times are found to the minute from the Swiss Ephemeris.
