The Moon moves through one Nakshatra in about a day, and through one pada in about six hours, so the birth time matters. Enter the time on the birth record exactly as written; in Bengaluru that is India Standard Time (UTC+5:30), the same as India (IST). Below you can see the Nakshatra in Bengaluru right now and its syllables.
At sunrise today in Bengaluru the Moon is in Mrigashira, pada 4. Names for a baby born in this Nakshatra traditionally start with: Ve, Vo, Ka, Ki (one syllable for each of the four padas).
| Day (Vara) | Shukravar (Friday) |
|---|---|

All times are Bengaluru local time (India Standard Time, UTC+5:30). Calculated from Bengaluru's own sunrise with the Lahiri ayanamsa.
Start and end times are in Bengaluru time. A vrat is usually kept on the day the Tithi is running at sunrise; your family or temple tradition may differ.
The length of the day decides the length of Rahu Kaal. In Bengaluru the shortest day has about 11 h 22 min of daylight and the longest about 12 h 53 min (today: 11 h 41 min), which gives a Rahu Kaal of 85 to 97 minutes.
Sunrise in Bengaluru today is 6:12 AM, 10 minutes later on the clock than in Chennai (290 km away). Even nearby cities need their own Panchang.
Bengaluru is on India Standard Time (UTC+5:30), the same as India (IST).
