How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Wed 22 Aug? Shukla Panchami
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 58.8°: Shukla Panchami.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 48°–60° is the 5th, Shukla Panchami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:57 here. Chaturthi ended at 10:19 Tue, before it. Panchami ends at 08:13, when the lead reaches 60°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 17 Aug, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Wed 22 Aug? 04:25–05:11
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 04:25–05:11.
The night of Tue 21 Aug ran from sunset 18:27 Tue to sunrise 05:57, 11 h 30 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 46 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas
When is Dur Muhurtam on Wed 22 Aug? 11:47–12:37
Dur Muhurtam is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 11:47–12:37.
Daylight here, 05:57 to 18:26, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 49 m. Dur Muhurtam on a Wednesday is the 8th, 11:47–12:37: it takes the 8th, the middle one, so a Wednesday has no Abhijit.
Which choghadiya is good on Wed 22 Aug?
05:57–07:31 is Labha, ruled by Budha (Mercury), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight, counted good.
Daylight here, 05:57 to 18:26, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 33 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.
The night here, 18:26 to 05:57 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 26 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 22 Aug? 12:12–13:45
Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 5th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 12:12–13:45.
When is Yamagandam on Wed 22 Aug? 07:31–09:05
Yamaganda is the 2nd of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 07:31–09:05.
When is Gulika Kalam on Wed 22 Aug? 10:38–12:12
Gulikai Kalam is the 4th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 10:38–12:12.
Daylight here runs 05:57 to 18:26, 12 h 29 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 33 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 22 Aug? 05:57
Day here: sunrise 05:57, sunset 18:26, 12 h 29 m of daylight.
What time is sunset on Wed 22 Aug? 18:26
Day here: sunrise 05:57, sunset 18:26, 12 h 29 m of daylight.
Sunrise and sunset are computed for this place. Daylight lasts 12 h 29 m and the night until the next sunrise 11 h 31 m; every window and choghadiya is cut from these two lengths.

Which nakshatra is it on Wed 22 Aug? Chitra
At sunrise the Moon was at 184.2°: Chitra, pada 4.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Chitra spans 173°20′–186°40′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 183°20′. It leaves at 10:05, for Swati.
Which yoga is it on Wed 22 Aug? Shukla
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 309.7°: Shukla.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 125.5° + 184.2° = 309.7°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 306°40′–320°00′ is the 24th, Shukla. It ends at 22:19, then Brahma.
Which karana is it on Wed 22 Aug? Balava
At sunrise the lead was 58.8°: the second half of Panchami, Balava.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Panchami is Bava and the second Balava. Bava ended at 21:16 Tue, when the lead reached 54°; Balava runs until 08:13.
Which vara is Wed 22 Aug, and from when? Budhawara
This day began at sunrise, 05:57 on Wednesday: Budhawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:57 to 05:57 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.
Which Hindu month is Wed 22 Aug in (amanta)? Bhadrapada (Adhik)
No sankranti between the new moons of 17 Aug and 16 Sep: Adhika Bhadrapada.
A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 17 Aug 16:54 Fri to 16 Sep 03:10 Sun the Sun stayed in Simha, entering Kanya at 16 Sep 13:24 Sun, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Bhadrapada, before Bhadrapada itself.
Which Hindu month is Wed 22 Aug in (purnimanta)? Bhadrapada (Adhik)
Counted full moon to full moon, this waxing half belongs to Bhadrapada (Adhik).
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 17 Aug, with the Sun in Simha, began Bhadrapada (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Bhadrapada (Adhik) in both counts.
Which samvat year is Wed 22 Aug in? Vikram 2069 · Shaka 1934
Vikram Samvat 2069 began at the Chaitra new moon of 22 Mar 2012.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 22 Mar 2012, 15:37 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 147.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2069; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1934.

What time is moonrise on Wed 22 Aug? 10:10

What time is moonset on Wed 22 Aug? 22:06
The Moon was down at sunrise and rises at 10:10, in this day's daylight; it sets again at 22:06.
