How each value is worked out
Why is Purnima on Wed 23 Dec in Cuenca?
Purnima is on Wed 23 Dec: Purnima holds sunrise that day.
Purnima follows the tithi at sunrise. Purnima runs from 00:17 on Wed 23 Dec to 20:28 on Wed 23 Dec, so it holds sunrise only on Wed 23 Dec, at 06:06. No text giving Purnima’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
Which tithi is on Wed 23 Dec? Shukla Purnima
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 171.4°: Shukla Purnima.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 168°–180° is the 15th, Shukla Purnima. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:06 here. Chaturdashi ended at 00:17, before it. Purnima ends at 20:28, when the lead reaches 180°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 8 Dec, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
Why does New Delhi read Chaturdashi?
New Delhi reads Chaturdashi, Cuenca reads Purnima.
A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.
New Delhi · IST
Sunrise here, 07:10, came before Chaturdashi ended at 10:47: this day reads Chaturdashi. Purnima ends at 06:58 Thu, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Purnima: it is kshaya.
Cuenca · UTC−5
Sunrise here, 06:06, came after Chaturdashi ended at 00:17: this day reads Purnima.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Wed 23 Dec? 04:32–05:19

Which nakshatra is it on Wed 23 Dec? Mrigashira
At sunrise the Moon was at 58.8°: Mrigashira, pada 2.
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 2 at 56°40′. It leaves at 18:23, for Ardra.
Which yoga is it on Wed 23 Dec? Shubha
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 306.2°: Shubha.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 247.4° + 58.8° = 306.2°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 293°20′–306°40′ is the 23rd, Shubha. It ends at 06:45, then Shukla.
Which karana is it on Wed 23 Dec? Vishti
At sunrise the lead was 171.4°: the first half of Purnima, Vishti.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Purnima is Vishti and the second Bava. Vishti runs until 10:23, when the lead reaches 174°; Bava until 20:28.
Which vara is Wed 23 Dec, and from when? Budhawara
This day began at sunrise, 06:06 on Wednesday: Budhawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:06 to 06:06 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.
Which Hindu month is Wed 23 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 Wed 23 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 Wed 23 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 273.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
