How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Thu 17 Dec? Shukla Ashtami
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 89°: Shukla Ashtami.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 84°–96° is the 8th, Shukla Ashtami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:10 here. Saptami ended at 20:46 Wed, before it. Ashtami ends at 21:26, when the lead reaches 96°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 9 Dec, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Thu 17 Dec? 05:16–06:13
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 05:16–06:13.
The night of Wed 16 Dec ran from sunset 16:54 Wed to sunrise 07:10, 14 h 16 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 57 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Which nakshatra is it on Thu 17 Dec? Purva Bhadrapada
At sunrise the Moon was at 329.9°: Purva Bhadrapada, pada 3.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Purva Bhadrapada spans 320°00′–333°20′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 326°40′. It leaves at 13:30, for Uttara Bhadrapada.
Which yoga is it on Thu 17 Dec? Siddhi
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 570.9°, one turn and 210.9°: Siddhi.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 241° + 329.9° = 570.9°, one full turn and 210.9°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 200°00′–213°20′ is the 16th, Siddhi. It ends at 11:21, then Vyatipata.
Which karana is it on Thu 17 Dec? Vishti
At sunrise the lead was 89°: the first half of Ashtami, Vishti.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Ashtami is Vishti and the second Bava. Vishti runs until 09:12, when the lead reaches 90°; Bava until 21:26.
Which vara is Thu 17 Dec, and from when? Guruwara
This day began at sunrise, 07:10 on Thursday: Guruwara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:10 to 07:11 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.
Which Hindu month is Thu 17 Dec in (amanta)? Margashirsha
This month began at the new moon of 9 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 16 Dec, inside the month. The next new moon, 7 Jan, finds it in Dhanu and begins Pausha.
Which Hindu month is Thu 17 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 9 Dec, with the Sun in Vrishchika, began Margashirsha. This Shukla paksha reads Margashirsha in both counts.
Which samvat year is Thu 17 Dec in? Vikram 2083 · Shaka 1948
Vikram Samvat 2083 began at the Chaitra new moon of 19 Mar 2026.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 19 Mar 2026, 04:53 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 266.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
