How each value is worked out
Why is Ganesh Chaturthi on Wed 23 Aug in Cuenca?
Ganesh Chaturthi is on Wed 23 Aug: Chaturthi holds all of madhyahna that day, and no other.
Ganesha’s puja is done at madhyahna, the middle fifth of the day. Chaturthi runs from 18:40 on Tue 22 Aug to 15:25 on Wed 23 Aug, so only Wednesday’s madhyahna (11:06–13:30) falls within it.
Which tithi is on Wed 23 Aug? Shukla Chaturthi
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 42.7°: 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, 06:17 here. Tritiya ended at 18:40 Tue, before it. Chaturthi ends at 15:25, when the lead reaches 48°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 20 Aug, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Wed 23 Aug? 04:41–05:29
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 04:41–05:29.
The night of Tue 22 Aug ran from sunset 18:19 Tue to sunrise 06:17, 11 h 58 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 47 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas
When is Dur Muhurtam on Wed 23 Aug? 11:54–12:42
Dur Muhurtam is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 11:54–12:42.
Daylight here, 06:17 to 18:19, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m. Dur Muhurtam on a Wednesday is the 8th, 11:54–12:42: it takes the 8th, the middle one, so a Wednesday has no Abhijit.
Which choghadiya is good on Wed 23 Aug?
06:17–07:47 is Labha, ruled by Budha (Mercury), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight, counted good.
Daylight here, 06:17 to 18:19, 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.
The night here, 18:19 to 06:17 Thu, 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.
Daylight in 8 parts
When is Rahu Kaal on Wed 23 Aug? 12:18–13:48
Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 5th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 12:18–13:48.
When is Yamagandam on Wed 23 Aug? 07:47–09:17
Yamaganda is the 2nd of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 07:47–09:17.
When is Gulika Kalam on Wed 23 Aug? 10:48–12:18
Gulikai Kalam is the 4th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 10:48–12:18.
Daylight here runs 06:17 to 18:19, 12 h 2 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 30 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 23 Aug? 06:17
Day here: sunrise 06:17, sunset 18:19, 12 h 2 m of daylight.
What time is sunset on Wed 23 Aug? 18:19
Day here: sunrise 06:17, sunset 18:19, 12 h 2 m of daylight.
Sunrise and sunset are computed for this place. Daylight lasts 12 h 2 m and the night until the next sunrise 11 h 58 m; every window and choghadiya is cut from these two lengths.

Which nakshatra is it on Wed 23 Aug? Hasta
At sunrise the Moon was at 169.3°: 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 12:46, for Chitra.
Which yoga is it on Wed 23 Aug? Shubha
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 295.9°: Shubha.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 126.6° + 169.3° = 295.9°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 293°20′–306°40′ is the 23rd, Shubha. It ends at 22:43, then Shukla.
Which karana is it on Wed 23 Aug? Vishti
At sunrise the lead was 42.7°: the second half of Chaturthi, Vishti.
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 ended at 04:59, when the lead reached 42°; Vishti runs until 15:25.
Which vara is Wed 23 Aug, and from when? Budhawara
This day began at sunrise, 06:17 on Wednesday: Budhawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:17 to 06:17 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.
Which Hindu month is Wed 23 Aug in (amanta)? Bhadrapada
This month began at the new moon of 20 Aug, with the Sun in Simha: Bhadrapada.
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: Simha gives Bhadrapada. The Sun enters Kanya on 16 Sep, inside the month. The next new moon, 18 Sep, finds it in Kanya and begins Ashwina.
Which Hindu month is Wed 23 Aug in (purnimanta)? Bhadrapada
Counted full moon to full moon, this waxing half belongs to Bhadrapada.
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 20 Aug, with the Sun in Simha, began Bhadrapada. This Shukla paksha reads Bhadrapada in both counts.
Which samvat year is Wed 23 Aug in? Vikram 2085 · Shaka 1950
Vikram Samvat 2085 began at the Chaitra new moon of 25 Mar 2028.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 25 Mar 2028, 23:31 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 144.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2085; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1950.
Moonrise and moonset
What time is moonrise on Wed 23 Aug? 08:52
The Moon rises here at 08:52.
What time is moonset on Wed 23 Aug? 21:23
The Moon was down at sunrise and rises at 08:52, in this day's daylight; it sets again at 21:23.
