How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Sat 16 Jan? Shukla Navami
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 97.6°: Shukla Navami.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 96°–108° is the 9th, Shukla Navami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:17 here. Ashtami ended at 03:13, before it. Navami ends at 01:57 Sun, when the lead reaches 108°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 7 Jan, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
Why does New Delhi read Ashtami?
New Delhi reads Ashtami, Cuenca reads Navami.

Which nakshatra is it on Sat 16 Jan? Ashwini
At sunrise the Moon was at 9.4°: Ashwini, pada 3.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Ashwini spans 0°00′–13°20′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 6°40′. It leaves at 13:08, for Bharani.
Which yoga is it on Sat 16 Jan? Sadhya
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 281.3°: Sadhya.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 271.9° + 9.4° = 281.3°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 280°00′–293°20′ is the 22nd, Sadhya. It ends at 01:53 Sun, then Shubha.
Which karana is it on Sat 16 Jan? Balava
At sunrise the lead was 97.6°: the first half of Navami, Balava.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Navami is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava runs until 14:40, when the lead reaches 102°; Kaulava until 01:57 Sun.
Which vara is Sat 16 Jan, and from when? Shaniwara
This day began at sunrise, 06:17 on Saturday: Shaniwara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:17 to 06:18 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.
Which Hindu month is Sat 16 Jan in (amanta)? Pausha
This month began at the new moon of 7 Jan, with the Sun in Dhanu: Pausha.
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: Dhanu gives Pausha. The Sun enters Makara on 14 Jan, inside the month. The next new moon, 6 Feb, finds it in Makara and begins Magha.
Which Hindu month is Sat 16 Jan in (purnimanta)? Pausha
Counted full moon to full moon, this waxing half belongs to Pausha.
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 Jan, with the Sun in Dhanu, began Pausha. This Shukla paksha reads Pausha in both counts.
Which samvat year is Sat 16 Jan 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 297.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
