How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Wed 18 May? Shukla Dwadashi
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 136.3°: Shukla Dwadashi.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 132°–144° is the 12th, Shukla Dwadashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:24 here. Ekadashi ended at 19:47 Tue, before it. Dwadashi ends at 22:22, when the lead reaches 144°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 7 May, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Wed 18 May? 03:53–04:39
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 03:53–04:39.
The night of Tue 17 May ran from sunset 18:02 Tue to sunrise 05:24, 11 h 22 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas
When is Dur Muhurtam on Wed 18 May? 11:18–12:08
Dur Muhurtam is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 11:18–12:08.
Daylight here, 05:24 to 18:02, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 50 m. Dur Muhurtam on a Wednesday is the 8th, 11:18–12:08: it takes the 8th, the middle one, so a Wednesday has no Abhijit.
Which choghadiya is good on Wed 18 May?
05:24–06:59 is Labha, ruled by Budha (Mercury), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight, counted good.
Daylight here, 05:24 to 18:02, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 34 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.
The night here, 18:02 to 05:24 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 25 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 18 May? 11:43–13:18
Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 5th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 11:43–13:18.
When is Yamagandam on Wed 18 May? 06:59–08:34
Yamaganda is the 2nd of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 06:59–08:34.
When is Gulika Kalam on Wed 18 May? 10:08–11:43
Gulikai Kalam is the 4th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 10:08–11:43.
Daylight here runs 05:24 to 18:02, 12 h 38 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 34 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 18 May? 05:24
Day here: sunrise 05:24, sunset 18:02, 12 h 38 m of daylight.
What time is sunset on Wed 18 May? 18:02
Day here: sunrise 05:24, sunset 18:02, 12 h 38 m of daylight.
Sunrise and sunset are computed for this place. Daylight lasts 12 h 38 m and the night until the next sunrise 11 h 22 m; every window and choghadiya is cut from these two lengths.

Which nakshatra is it on Wed 18 May? Hasta
At sunrise the Moon was at 169.6°: Hasta, pada 3.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Hasta spans 160°00′–173°20′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 166°40′. It leaves at 12:55, for Chitra.
Which yoga is it on Wed 18 May? Siddhi
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 202.9°: Siddhi.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 33.3° + 169.6° = 202.9°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 200°00′–213°20′ is the 16th, Siddhi. It ends at 00:56 Thu, then Vyatipata.
Which karana is it on Wed 18 May? Bava
At sunrise the lead was 136.3°: the first half of Dwadashi, Bava.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwadashi is Bava and the second Balava. Bava runs until 09:04, when the lead reaches 138°; Balava until 22:22.
Which vara is Wed 18 May, and from when? Budhawara
This day began at sunrise, 05:24 on Wednesday: Budhawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:24 to 05:24 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.
Which Hindu month is Wed 18 May in (amanta)? Vaishakha
This month began at the new moon of 7 May, with the Sun in Mesha: Vaishakha.
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: Mesha gives Vaishakha. The Sun enters Vrishabha on 14 May, inside the month. The next new moon, 5 Jun, finds it in Vrishabha and begins Jyeshtha.
Which Hindu month is Wed 18 May in (purnimanta)? Vaishakha
Counted full moon to full moon, this waxing half belongs to Vaishakha.
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 7 May, with the Sun in Mesha, began Vaishakha. This Shukla paksha reads Vaishakha in both counts.
Which samvat year is Wed 18 May in? Vikram 2073 · Shaka 1938
Vikram Samvat 2073 began at the Chaitra new moon of 7 Apr 2016.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 7 Apr 2016, 19:23 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 39.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2073; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1938.

What time is moonrise on Wed 18 May? 15:18
