How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Sat 2 Jan? Krishna Dashami
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 297.3°: Krishna Dashami.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 288°–300° is the 25th, Krishna Dashami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:15 here. Navami ended at 09:40 Fri, before it. Dashami ends at 10:54, when the lead reaches 300°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 24 Dec, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Sat 2 Jan? 03:53–04:34
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 03:53–04:34.
The night of Fri 1 Jan ran from sunset 19:01 Fri to sunrise 05:15, 10 h 14 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 40 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas
When is Abhijit Muhurat on Sat 2 Jan? 11:41–12:36
Abhijit is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight, the one around midday: 11:41–12:36.
When is Dur Muhurtam on Sat 2 Jan? 05:15–06:10
Dur Muhurtam is the 1st and 2nd of 15 equal parts of daylight: 05:15–06:10 and 06:10–07:05.
When is Dur Muhurtam on Sat 2 Jan? 06:10–07:05
Dur Muhurtam is the 1st and 2nd of 15 equal parts of daylight: 05:15–06:10 and 06:10–07:05.
Daylight here, 05:15 to 19:01, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 55 m. Abhijit is the 8th, the middle one. Dur Muhurtam on a Saturday is the 1st and 2nd, 05:15–06:10 and 06:10–07:05.
Which choghadiya is good on Sat 2 Jan?
05:15–06:59 is Kala, ruled by Shani (Saturn), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Saturday's daylight, counted bad.
Daylight here, 05:15 to 19:01, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 43 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.
The night here, 19:01 to 05:16 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 16 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 Sat 2 Jan? 08:42–10:25
Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 3rd of 8 equal parts of Saturday's daylight: 08:42–10:25.
When is Yamagandam on Sat 2 Jan? 13:51–15:34
Yamaganda is the 6th of 8 equal parts of Saturday's daylight: 13:51–15:34.
When is Gulika Kalam on Sat 2 Jan? 05:15–06:59
Gulikai Kalam is the 1st of 8 equal parts of Saturday's daylight: 05:15–06:59.
Daylight here runs 05:15 to 19:01, 13 h 46 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 43 m, it gives the day's windows by weekday: on a Saturday Rahu Kaal is the 3rd part, Yamaganda the 6th and Gulikai Kalam the 1st.

Day here: sunrise 05:15, sunset 19:01, 13 h 46 m of daylight.
What time is sunset on Sat 2 Jan? 19:01

Which nakshatra is it on Sat 2 Jan? Swati
At sunrise the Moon was at 194.6°: Swati, pada 3.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Swati spans 186°40′–200°00′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 193°20′. It leaves at 15:49, for Vishakha.
Which yoga is it on Sat 2 Jan? Sukarma
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 451.8°, one turn and 91.8°: Sukarma.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 257.2° + 194.6° = 451.8°, one full turn and 91.8°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 80°00′–93°20′ is the 7th, Sukarma. It ends at 07:58, then Dhriti.
Which karana is it on Sat 2 Jan? Vishti
At sunrise the lead was 297.3°: the second half of Dashami, Vishti.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dashami is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija ended at 22:13 Fri, when the lead reached 294°; Vishti runs until 10:54.
Which vara is Sat 2 Jan, and from when? Shaniwara
This day began at sunrise, 05:15 on Saturday: Shaniwara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:15 to 05:16 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.
Which Hindu month is Sat 2 Jan in (amanta)? Margashirsha
This month began at the new moon of 9 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 16 Dec, inside the month. The next new moon, 7 Jan, finds it in Dhanu and begins Pausha.
Which Hindu month is Sat 2 Jan in (purnimanta)? Pausha
Counted full moon to full moon, this waning half already 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, begins Pausha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Pausha here, and Margashirsha in the amanta count.
Which samvat year is Sat 2 Jan in? Vikram 2083 · Shaka 1948
Vikram Samvat 2083 began at the Chaitra new moon of 19 Mar 2026.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 19 Mar 2026, 03:23 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 283° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.

What time is moonrise on Sat 2 Jan? 01:29 Sun
