How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Wed 20 May? Shukla Panchami
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 51.2°: Shukla Panchami.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 48°–60° is the 5th, Shukla Panchami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:13 here. Chaturthi ended at 00:37, before it. Panchami ends at 21:57, when the lead reaches 60°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 16 May, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
Why does New Delhi read Chaturthi?
New Delhi reads Chaturthi, Cuenca reads Panchami.
A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.
New Delhi · IST

Cuenca · UTC−5
Sunrise here, 06:13, came after Chaturthi ended at 00:37: this day reads Panchami.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Wed 20 May? 04:37–05:25
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 04:37–05:25.
The night of Tue 19 May ran from sunset 18:11 Tue to sunrise 06:13, 12 h 2 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas
When is Dur Muhurtam on Wed 20 May? 11:48–12:36
Dur Muhurtam is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 11:48–12:36.
Daylight here, 06:13 to 18:11, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 47 m. Dur Muhurtam on a Wednesday is the 8th, 11:48–12:36: it takes the 8th, the middle one, so a Wednesday has no Abhijit.
Which choghadiya is good on Wed 20 May?
06:13–07:43 is Labha, ruled by Budha (Mercury), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight, counted good.
Daylight here, 06:13 to 18:11, 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.
The night here, 18:11 to 06:13 Thu, 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.
Daylight in 8 parts
When is Rahu Kaal on Wed 20 May? 12:12–13:42
Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 5th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 12:12–13:42.
When is Yamagandam on Wed 20 May? 07:43–09:12
Yamaganda is the 2nd of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 07:43–09:12.
When is Gulika Kalam on Wed 20 May? 10:42–12:12
Gulikai Kalam is the 4th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 10:42–12:12.
Daylight here runs 06:13 to 18:11, 11 h 58 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 29 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.

Which nakshatra is it on Wed 20 May? Punarvasu
At sunrise the Moon was at 86.4°: Punarvasu, pada 2.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Punarvasu spans 80°00′–93°20′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 83°20′. It leaves at 17:42, for Pushya.
Which yoga is it on Wed 20 May? Ganda
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 121.6°: Ganda.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 35.2° + 86.4° = 121.6°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 120°00′–133°20′ is the 10th, Ganda. It ends at 00:28 Thu, then Vriddhi.
Which karana is it on Wed 20 May? Bava
At sunrise the lead was 51.2°: the first half of Panchami, Bava.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Panchami is Bava and the second Balava. Bava runs until 11:12, when the lead reaches 54°; Balava until 21:57.
Which vara is Wed 20 May, and from when? Budhawara
This day began at sunrise, 06:13 on Wednesday: Budhawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:13 to 06:13 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.
Which Hindu month is Wed 20 May in (amanta)? Jyeshtha (Adhik)
No sankranti between the new moons of 16 May and 14 Jun: Adhika Jyeshtha.
A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 16 May 15:01 Sat to 14 Jun 21:54 Sun the Sun stayed in Vrishabha, entering Mithuna at 15 Jun 02:22 Mon, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Jyeshtha, before Jyeshtha itself.
Which Hindu month is Wed 20 May in (purnimanta)? Jyeshtha (Adhik)
Counted full moon to full moon, this waxing half belongs to Jyeshtha (Adhik).
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 16 May, with the Sun in Vrishabha, began Jyeshtha (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Jyeshtha (Adhik) in both counts.
Which samvat year is Wed 20 May 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, 20:23 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 61° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
