How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Wed 16 Mar? Shukla Ashtami
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 92.5°: 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, 05:53 here. Saptami ended at 13:42 Tue, before it. Ashtami ends at 12:33, when the lead reaches 96°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 9 Mar, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Wed 16 Mar? 04:18–05:06
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 04:18–05:06.
The night of Tue 15 Mar ran from sunset 17:58 Tue to sunrise 05:53, 11 h 55 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 47 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas
When is Dur Muhurtam on Wed 16 Mar? 11:31–12:20
Dur Muhurtam is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 11:31–12:20.
Daylight here, 05:53 to 17:58, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m. Dur Muhurtam on a Wednesday is the 8th, 11:31–12:20: it takes the 8th, the middle one, so a Wednesday has no Abhijit.
Which choghadiya is good on Wed 16 Mar?
05:53–07:24 is Labha, ruled by Budha (Mercury), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight, counted good.
Daylight here, 05:53 to 17:58, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 30 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.
The night here, 17:58 to 05:53 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 29 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 Wed 16 Mar? 11:55–13:26
Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 5th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 11:55–13:26.
When is Yamagandam on Wed 16 Mar? 07:24–08:54
Yamaganda is the 2nd of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 07:24–08:54.
When is Gulika Kalam on Wed 16 Mar? 10:25–11:55
Gulikai Kalam is the 4th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 10:25–11:55.
Daylight here runs 05:53 to 17:58, 12 h 5 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 30 m, it gives the day's windows by weekday: on a Wednesday Rahu Kaal is the 5th part, Yamaganda the 2nd and Gulikai Kalam the 4th.
Sunrise and sunset
What time is sunrise on Wed 16 Mar? 05:53
Day here: sunrise 05:53, sunset 17:58, 12 h 5 m of daylight.
What time is sunset on Wed 16 Mar? 17:58
Day here: sunrise 05:53, sunset 17:58, 12 h 5 m of daylight.
Sunrise and sunset are computed for this place. Daylight lasts 12 h 5 m and the night until the next sunrise 11 h 55 m; every window and choghadiya is cut from these two lengths.

Which nakshatra is it on Wed 16 Mar? Mrigashira
At sunrise the Moon was at 64.2°: Mrigashira, pada 4.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Mrigashira spans 53°20′–66°40′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 63°20′. It leaves at 10:16, for Ardra.
Which yoga is it on Wed 16 Mar? Ayushmana
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 395.9°, one turn and 35.9°: Ayushmana.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 331.7° + 64.2° = 395.9°, one full turn and 35.9°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 26°40′–40°00′ is the 3rd, Ayushmana. It ends at 12:44, then Saubhagya.
Which karana is it on Wed 16 Mar? Bava
At sunrise the lead was 92.5°: the second half of Ashtami, Bava.
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 ended at 01:02, when the lead reached 90°; Bava runs until 12:33.
Which vara is Wed 16 Mar, and from when? Budhawara
This day began at sunrise, 05:53 on Wednesday: Budhawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:53 to 05:53 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.
Which Hindu month is Wed 16 Mar in (amanta)? Phalguna
This month began at the new moon of 9 Mar, with the Sun in Kumbha: Phalguna.
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: Kumbha gives Phalguna. The Sun enters Meena on 14 Mar, inside the month. The next new moon, 7 Apr, finds it in Meena and begins Chaitra.
Which Hindu month is Wed 16 Mar in (purnimanta)? Phalguna
Counted full moon to full moon, this waxing half belongs to Phalguna.
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 Mar, with the Sun in Kumbha, began Phalguna. This Shukla paksha reads Phalguna in both counts.
Which samvat year is Wed 16 Mar in? Vikram 2072 · Shaka 1937
Vikram Samvat 2072 began at the Chaitra new moon of 20 Mar 2015.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 20 Mar 2015, 17:36 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 356.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2072; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1937.
Moonrise and moonset
What time is moonrise on Wed 16 Mar? 12:04
The Moon rises here at 12:04.
What time is moonset on Wed 16 Mar? 00:59 Thu
The Moon was down at sunrise and rises at 12:04, in this day's daylight; it sets again at 00:59 Thu.
