How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Sat 20 Oct? Shukla Shashthi
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 64.8°: Shukla Shashthi.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 60°–72° is the 6th, Shukla Shashthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:00 here. Panchami ended at 21:26 Fri, before it. Shashthi ends at 19:06, when the lead reaches 72°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 15 Oct, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Sat 20 Oct? 04:23–05:12
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 04:23–05:12.
The night of Fri 19 Oct ran from sunset 17:48 Fri to sunrise 06:00, 12 h 12 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas

Abhijit is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight, the one around midday: 11:30–12:17.

When is Dur Muhurtam on Sat 20 Oct? 06:48–07:35

Daylight here, 06:00 to 17:47, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 47 m. Abhijit is the 8th, the middle one. Dur Muhurtam on a Saturday is the 1st and 2nd, 06:00–06:48 and 06:48–07:35.
Which choghadiya is good on Sat 20 Oct?
06:00–07:29 is Kala, ruled by Shani (Saturn), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Saturday's daylight, counted bad.
Daylight here, 06:00 to 17:47, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 28 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.
The night here, 17:47 to 06:01 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 31 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

Which nakshatra is it on Sat 20 Oct? Mula
At sunrise the Moon was at 248°: Mula, pada 3.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Mula spans 240°00′–253°20′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 246°40′. It leaves at 15:04, for Purva Ashadha.
Which yoga is it on Sat 20 Oct? Atiganda
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 431.2°, one turn and 71.2°: Atiganda.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 183.2° + 248° = 431.2°, one full turn and 71.2°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 66°40′–80°00′ is the 6th, Atiganda. It ends at 20:00, then Sukarma.
Which karana is it on Sat 20 Oct? Kaulava
At sunrise the lead was 64.8°: the first half of Shashthi, Kaulava.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Shashthi is Kaulava and the second Taitila. Kaulava runs until 08:13, when the lead reaches 66°; Taitila until 19:06.
Which vara is Sat 20 Oct, and from when? Shaniwara
This day began at sunrise, 06:00 on Saturday: Shaniwara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:00 to 06:01 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.
Which Hindu month is Sat 20 Oct in (amanta)? Ashwina
This month began at the new moon of 15 Oct, with the Sun in Kanya: Ashwina.
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: Kanya gives Ashwina. The Sun enters Tula on 17 Oct, inside the month. The next new moon, 13 Nov, finds it in Tula and begins Kartika.
Which Hindu month is Sat 20 Oct in (purnimanta)? Ashwina
Counted full moon to full moon, this waxing half belongs to Ashwina.
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 15 Oct, with the Sun in Kanya, began Ashwina. This Shukla paksha reads Ashwina in both counts.
Which samvat year is Sat 20 Oct 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 204.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2069; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1934.

What time is moonrise on Sat 20 Oct? 10:53
