Sun's up, looks okay the world survives into another day and I'm thinking about eternity some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me.
Sunrise is 6:53AM The second prahar of the morning.
In Hinduism, prahar is a unit of time. A day is divided in 8 Prahars making each prahar equivalent to 3 hours. In Hindustani Music there are raga which are prescribed to be performed at particular prahar to maximize its aesthetic effect.

Please note - I am not an expert on Indian or Hindustani music, nor do I pretend to be one. Just taking a trip to "back in the day".
