Sunrise arrives at 7:17 AM and dipping below the horizon at 5:47 PM, bringing 10 hours 30 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Trayodashi of Shukla Paksha, and the nakshatra of the day is Ardra. The day carries the Indra yoga, completing the core panchang signature for 2027-01-20. Brahma Muhurta, the pre-dawn meditation window, runs from 5:41 AM to 6:29 AM.
