Purnimanta month convention for Nairobi, Nairobi County, Kenya. The Hindu day runs sunrise to sunrise, so a Tithi or Nakshatra ending “after midnight” still belongs to this day. Sidereal positions use the Lahiri ayanamsa; other almanacs can differ by a few minutes. Methodology

Rahu Kaal, Abhijit Muhurat, Choghadiya and Hora are fractions of the local day, so they move with sunrise and sunset. Nairobi sits at 1.28°S, 36.82°E, 1,684 m above sea level, in the Africa/Nairobi time zone.
Tithi and Nakshatra end at the same instant everywhere, but the local clock time differs, and the Tithi at Nairobi's own sunrise decides which date a festival or vrat falls on here.
Shukla Dashami is the tithi at sunrise (06:13 AM) in Nairobi and lasts until 04:46 AM, Nov 20. The tithi at sunrise names the day.
Purva Bhadrapada (pada 1), until 04:27 AM, Nov 20.
Sunrise is at 06:13 AM and sunset at 06:24 PM, local time, for Nairobi's own coordinates.
01:49 PM to 03:21 PM. Rahu Kaal is one-eighth of the daytime, so it moves with Nairobi's sunrise and sunset.
11:54 AM to 12:42 PM: the eighth of fifteen daytime muhurtas, around local noon, auspicious for most beginnings.
04:38 AM to 05:25 AM: the 14th of the night's 15 muhurtas, ending one muhurta (about 48 minutes) before sunrise, traditionally kept for prayer and study.
The Moon rises at 02:01 PM and sets at 02:15 AM, Nov 20.
A good day to begin work, apply or meet seniors. Best window: Shubh 04:52 PM to 06:24 PM. Avoid Rahu Kaal, 01:49 PM to 03:21 PM.
People with Karka (Cancer) Moon sign, 01:01 PM, Nov 17 to 10:20 PM and people with Simha (Leo) Moon sign, 10:20 PM to 03:25 AM, Nov 22: the Moon is in their 8th sign.
A Panchang is the Hindu almanac. For each day it gives five details (panch anga, "five parts"): Tithi (lunar day), Vara (weekday), Nakshatra (the Moon's lunar mansion), Yoga (a Sun–Moon combination) and Karana (half a Tithi), along with sunrise-based timings used to choose a Muhurat.
Rahu Kaal is one-eighth of the daytime (sunrise to sunset), assigned to Rahu by weekday. Traditionally people avoid starting new ventures, signing agreements or beginning journeys in it. Because it depends on local sunrise and sunset, it differs from city to city and day to day.
A Tithi is the time the Moon takes to gain 12° on the Sun, so it can end at any hour. By convention the Tithi prevailing at sunrise names the day, which is why a festival can fall on a different civil date in different places.
