How each value is worked out

Which tithi is on Sat 15 Dec? Shukla Dwitiya

At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 21.9°: Shukla Dwitiya.

Earth at the centre · Sun fixed at the top · Moon moves counter-clockwise · not to scale

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 12°–24° is the 2nd, Shukla Dwitiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:56 here. Pratipada ended at 13:00 Fri, before it. Dwitiya ends at 09:32, when the lead reaches 24°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 13 Dec, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

Why does New Delhi read Tritiya?

New Delhi reads Tritiya, Codcod reads Dwitiya.

What time is Brahma Muhurta on Sat 15 Dec? 04:16–05:06

Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 04:16–05:06.

The night of Fri 14 Dec ran from sunset 17:27 Fri to sunrise 05:56, 12 h 29 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 49 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:56 to 17:27, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 46 m. Abhijit is the 8th, the middle one. Dur Muhurtam on a Saturday is the 1st and 2nd, 05:56–06:42 and 06:42–07:28.

Which choghadiya is good on Sat 15 Dec?

05:56–07:23 is Kala, ruled by Shani (Saturn), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Saturday's daylight, counted bad.

Day above the line, night below · clockwise from sunrise

Daylight here, 05:56 to 17:27, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 26 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:27 to 05:57 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 33 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

Daylight in 8 parts

When is Rahu Kaal on Sat 15 Dec? 08:49–10:15

Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 3rd of 8 equal parts of Saturday's daylight: 08:49–10:15.

Daylight here runs 05:56 to 17:27, 11 h 31 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 26 m, it gives the day's windows by weekday: on a Saturday Rahu Kaal is the 3rd part, Yamaganda the 6th and Gulikai Kalam the 1st.

Sunrise and sunset

What time is sunrise on Sat 15 Dec? 05:56

Day here: sunrise 05:56, sunset 17:27, 11 h 31 m of daylight.

What time is sunset on Sat 15 Dec? 17:27

Day here: sunrise 05:56, sunset 17:27, 11 h 31 m of daylight.

Day above the line, night below · clockwise from sunrise · inner arc: Moon above the horizon

Sunrise and sunset are computed for this place. Daylight lasts 11 h 31 m and the night until the next sunrise 12 h 30 m; every window and choghadiya is cut from these two lengths.

Which nakshatra is it on Sat 15 Dec? Purva Ashadha

At sunrise the Moon was at 261.2°: Purva Ashadha, pada 3.

Stars fixed · sidereal, Lahiri · 0° at the top, counter-clockwise

The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Purva Ashadha spans 253°20′–266°40′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 260°. It leaves at 14:44, for Uttara Ashadha.

Which yoga is it on Sat 15 Dec? Vriddhi

At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 500.5°, one turn and 140.5°: Vriddhi.

Stars fixed · sidereal, Lahiri · 0° at the top, counter-clockwise

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 239.3° + 261.2° = 500.5°, one full turn and 140.5°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 133°20′–146°40′ is the 11th, Vriddhi. It ends at 15:15, then Dhruva.

Which karana is it on Sat 15 Dec? Kaulava

At sunrise the lead was 21.9°: the second half of Dwitiya, Kaulava.

Earth at the centre · Sun fixed at the top · Moon moves counter-clockwise · each 12° tithi halved into karanas · not to scale

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwitiya is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava ended at 23:14 Fri, when the lead reached 18°; Kaulava runs until 09:32.

Which vara is Sat 15 Dec, and from when? Shaniwara

This day began at sunrise, 05:56 on Saturday: Shaniwara.

One turn of the wheel is one vara, sunrise to sunrise · clockwise

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:56 to 05:57 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.

Which Hindu month is Sat 15 Dec in (amanta)? Margashirsha

This month began at the new moon of 13 Dec, with the Sun in Vrishchika: Margashirsha.

Stars fixed · sidereal, Lahiri · ring: the Sun's yearly path in 12 rashis of 30°, numbered from 0° · Sun's path from new moon to new moon

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, 12 Jan, finds it in Dhanu and begins Pausha.

Which Hindu month is Sat 15 Dec in (purnimanta)? Margashirsha

Counted full moon to full moon, this waxing half belongs to Margashirsha.

Time runs left to right · amanta: new moon to new moon · purnimanta: full moon to full moon

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 13 Dec, with the Sun in Vrishchika, began Margashirsha. This Shukla paksha reads Margashirsha in both counts.

Which samvat year is Sat 15 Dec in? Vikram 2069 · Shaka 1934

Vikram Samvat 2069 began at the Chaitra new moon of 22 Mar 2012.

Stars fixed · sidereal, Lahiri · ring: the Sun's yearly path in 12 rashis of 30°, numbered from 0° · Sun's path since the year began

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 22 Mar 2012, 22:37 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 261° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2069; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1934.

Moonrise and moonset

What time is moonrise on Sat 15 Dec? 07:34

The Moon rises here at 07:34.

What time is moonset on Sat 15 Dec? 19:34

Day above the line, night below · clockwise from sunrise · inner arc: Moon above the horizon

The Moon was down at sunrise and rises at 07:34, in this day's daylight; it sets again at 19:34.
