Purnimanta month convention for Riyadh, Riyadh governorate, Riyadh Region, 12643, Saudi Arabia. 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
✦ festival · • vrat · each day opens its own Riyadh page
City data © GeoNames. Times for Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in Asia/Riyadh.
Rahu Kaal, Abhijit Muhurat, Choghadiya and Hora are fractions of the local day, so they move with sunrise and sunset. Riyadh sits at 24.69°N, 46.72°E, 612 m above sea level, in the Asia/Riyadh time zone.
Tithi and Nakshatra end at the same instant everywhere, but the local clock time differs, and the Tithi at Riyadh's own sunrise decides which date a festival or vrat falls on here.
Krishna Trayodashi is the tithi at sunrise (05:48 AM) in Riyadh and lasts until 07:46 PM. The tithi at sunrise names the day.
Purva Phalguni (pada 2), until 06:50 PM.
Sunrise is at 05:48 AM and sunset at 05:33 PM, local time, for Riyadh's own coordinates.
01:09 PM to 02:37 PM. Rahu Kaal is one-eighth of the daytime, so it moves with Riyadh's sunrise and sunset.
11:17 AM to 12:04 PM: the eighth of fifteen daytime muhurtas, around local noon, auspicious for most beginnings.
04:10 AM to 04:59 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 03:33 AM and sets at 04:03 PM.

People with Makara (Capricorn) Moon sign, 07:48 PM, Oct 06 to 12:48 AM, Oct 09 and people with Kumbha (Aquarius) Moon sign, 12:48 AM, Oct 09 to 07:34 AM, Oct 11: 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.
