How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Wed 8 Jan? Shukla Navami
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 104.9°: 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, 05:20 here. Ashtami ended at 12:57 Tue, before it. Navami ends at 10:56, when the lead reaches 108°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 31 Dec, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Wed 8 Jan? 03:58–04:39
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 03:58–04:39.
The night of Tue 7 Jan ran from sunset 19:02 Tue to sunrise 05:20, 10 h 18 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 41 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas
When is Dur Muhurtam on Wed 8 Jan? 11:44–12:38
Dur Muhurtam is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 11:44–12:38.
Daylight here, 05:20 to 19:02, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 54 m. Dur Muhurtam on a Wednesday is the 8th, 11:44–12:38: it takes the 8th, the middle one, so a Wednesday has no Abhijit.
Which choghadiya is good on Wed 8 Jan?
05:20–07:03 is Labha, ruled by Budha (Mercury), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight, counted good.
Daylight here, 05:20 to 19:02, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 42 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.
The night here, 19:02 to 05:21 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 17 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 8 Jan? 12:11–13:54
Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 5th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 12:11–13:54.
When is Yamagandam on Wed 8 Jan? 07:03–08:46
Yamaganda is the 2nd of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 07:03–08:46.
When is Gulika Kalam on Wed 8 Jan? 10:28–12:11
Gulikai Kalam is the 4th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 10:28–12:11.
Daylight here runs 05:20 to 19:02, 13 h 42 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 42 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 8 Jan? 05:20
Day here: sunrise 05:20, sunset 19:02, 13 h 42 m of daylight.
What time is sunset on Wed 8 Jan? 19:02
Day here: sunrise 05:20, sunset 19:02, 13 h 42 m of daylight.
Sunrise and sunset are computed for this place. Daylight lasts 13 h 42 m and the night until the next sunrise 10 h 19 m; every window and choghadiya is cut from these two lengths.

Which nakshatra is it on Wed 8 Jan? Ashwini
At sunrise the Moon was at 8.8°: 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 12:59, for Bharani.
Which yoga is it on Wed 8 Jan? Siddha
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 272.7°: Siddha.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 263.9° + 8.8° = 272.7°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 266°40′–280°00′ is the 21st, Siddha. It ends at 16:53, then Sadhya.
Which karana is it on Wed 8 Jan? Kaulava
At sunrise the lead was 104.9°: the second half of Navami, Kaulava.
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 ended at 23:57 Tue, when the lead reached 102°; Kaulava runs until 10:56.
Which vara is Wed 8 Jan, and from when? Budhawara
This day began at sunrise, 05:20 on Wednesday: Budhawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:20 to 05:21 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.
Which Hindu month is Wed 8 Jan in (amanta)? Pausha
This month began at the new moon of 31 Dec, 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, 29 Jan, finds it in Makara and begins Magha.
Which Hindu month is Wed 8 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 31 Dec, with the Sun in Dhanu, began Pausha. This Shukla paksha reads Pausha in both counts.
Which samvat year is Wed 8 Jan in? Vikram 2081 · Shaka 1946
Vikram Samvat 2081 began at the Chaitra new moon of 8 Apr 2024.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 8 Apr 2024, 20:20 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 268.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2081; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1946.

What time is moonrise on Wed 8 Jan? 13:45
