How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Tue 22 Dec? Shukla Chaturdashi
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 159.2°: Shukla Chaturdashi.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 156°–168° is the 14th, Shukla Chaturdashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:26 here. Trayodashi ended at 01:54, before it. Chaturdashi ends at 22:17, when the lead reaches 168°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 8 Dec, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
Why does New Delhi read Trayodashi?
New Delhi reads Trayodashi, Apache Junction reads Chaturdashi.

Which nakshatra is it on Tue 22 Dec? Rohini
At sunrise the Moon was at 45.8°: Rohini, pada 2.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Rohini spans 40°00′–53°20′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 43°20′. It leaves at 19:26, for Mrigashira.
Which yoga is it on Tue 22 Dec? Sadhya
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 292.3°: Sadhya.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 246.5° + 45.8° = 292.3°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 280°00′–293°20′ is the 22nd, Sadhya. It ends at 09:02, then Shubha.
Which karana is it on Tue 22 Dec? Garaja
At sunrise the lead was 159.2°: the first half of Chaturdashi, Garaja.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturdashi is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja runs until 12:08, when the lead reaches 162°; Vanija until 22:17.
Which vara is Tue 22 Dec, and from when? Mangalawara
This day began at sunrise, 07:26 on Tuesday: Mangalawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:26 to 07:26 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.
Which Hindu month is Tue 22 Dec in (amanta)? Margashirsha
This month began at the new moon of 8 Dec, with the Sun in Vrishchika: Margashirsha.
An amanta month runs from new moon to new moon and takes its name from the rashi the Sun is in at the new moon that begins it: Vrishchika gives Margashirsha. The Sun enters Dhanu on 15 Dec, inside the month. The next new moon, 7 Jan, finds it in Dhanu and begins Pausha.
Which Hindu month is Tue 22 Dec in (purnimanta)? Margashirsha
Counted full moon to full moon, this waxing half belongs to Margashirsha.
A purnimanta month runs from full moon to full moon, so its waning half comes first. It shares its name with the amanta month that its second half falls in: the new moon of 8 Dec, with the Sun in Vrishchika, began Margashirsha. This Shukla paksha reads Margashirsha in both counts.
Which samvat year is Tue 22 Dec in? Vikram 2083 · Shaka 1948
Vikram Samvat 2083 began at the Chaitra new moon of 18 Mar 2026.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 18 Mar 2026, 18:23 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 272.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
