How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Sat 12 Dec? Shukla Chaturthi
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 37.1°: Shukla Chaturthi.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 36°–48° is the 4th, Shukla Chaturthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:01 here. Tritiya ended at 03:36, before it. Chaturthi ends at 06:18 Sun, when the lead reaches 48°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 8 Dec, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
Why does Chaturthi hold two sunrises?
Chaturthi holds the sunrises of both Sat 12 and Sun 13 Dec here.
A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Chaturthi began at 03:36, before sunrise at 06:01, and ends at 06:18 Sun, after the next sunrise at 06:01 Sun. Both days read Chaturthi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.
Why does New Delhi read Tritiya?
New Delhi reads Tritiya, Cuenca reads Chaturthi.

Which nakshatra is it on Sat 12 Dec? Uttara Ashadha
At sunrise the Moon was at 273.3°: Uttara Ashadha, pada 2.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Uttara Ashadha spans 266°40′–280°00′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 270°. It leaves at 19:42, for Shravana.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 236.2° + 273.3° = 509.5°, one full turn and 149.5°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 146°40′–160°00′ is the 12th, Dhruva. It ends at 01:44 Sun, then Vyaghata.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturthi is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija runs until 16:58, when the lead reaches 42°; Vishti until 06:18 Sun.
Which vara is Sat 12 Dec, and from when? Shaniwara
This day began at sunrise, 06:01 on Saturday: Shaniwara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:01 to 06:01 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.
Which Hindu month is Sat 12 Dec in (amanta)? Margashirsha
This month began at the new moon of 8 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 15 Dec, inside the month. The next new moon, 7 Jan, finds it in Dhanu and begins Pausha.
Which Hindu month is Sat 12 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 8 Dec, with the Sun in Vrishchika, began Margashirsha. This Shukla paksha reads Margashirsha in both counts.
Which samvat year is Sat 12 Dec 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 262° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
