How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Wed 23 Oct? Krishna Panchami
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 228.8°: Krishna Panchami.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 228°–240° is the 20th, Krishna Panchami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:01 here. Chaturthi ended at 04:21, before it. Panchami ends at 06:32 Thu, when the lead reaches 240°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 19 Oct, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.
Why does Panchami hold two sunrises?
Panchami holds the sunrises of both Wed 23 and Thu 24 Oct here.
A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Panchami began at 04:21, before sunrise at 06:01, and ends at 06:32 Thu, after the next sunrise at 06:01 Thu. Both days read Panchami: it is a vriddhi tithi here.
Why does New Delhi read Chaturthi?
New Delhi reads Chaturthi, Diffa reads Panchami.

What time is Brahma Muhurta on Wed 23 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 Tue 22 Oct ran from sunset 17:46 Tue to sunrise 06:01, 12 h 15 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 49 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas
When is Dur Muhurtam on Wed 23 Oct? 11:30–12:17
Dur Muhurtam is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 11:30–12:17.
Daylight here, 06:01 to 17:46, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 47 m. Dur Muhurtam on a Wednesday is the 8th, 11:30–12:17: it takes the 8th, the middle one, so a Wednesday has no Abhijit.
Which choghadiya is good on Wed 23 Oct?
06:01–07:29 is Labha, ruled by Budha (Mercury), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight, counted good.
Daylight here, 06:01 to 17:46, 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, 17:46 to 06:01 Thu, 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.
Daylight in 8 parts
When is Rahu Kaal on Wed 23 Oct? 11:53–13:21
Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 5th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 11:53–13:21.
When is Yamagandam on Wed 23 Oct? 07:29–08:57
Yamaganda is the 2nd of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 07:29–08:57.
When is Gulika Kalam on Wed 23 Oct? 10:25–11:53
Gulikai Kalam is the 4th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 10:25–11:53.
Daylight here runs 06:01 to 17:46, 11 h 45 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 28 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.

Which nakshatra is it on Wed 23 Oct? Mrigashira
At sunrise the Moon was at 54.7°: Mrigashira, pada 1.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Mrigashira spans 53°20′–66°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 53°20′. It leaves at 06:02 Thu, for Ardra.
Which yoga is it on Wed 23 Oct? Parigha
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 240.6°: Parigha.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 185.9° + 54.7° = 240.6°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 240°00′–253°20′ is the 19th, Parigha. It ends at 05:36 Thu, then Shiva.
Which karana is it on Wed 23 Oct? Kaulava
At sunrise the lead was 228.8°: the first half of Panchami, Kaulava.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Panchami is Kaulava and the second Taitila. Kaulava runs until 17:24, when the lead reaches 234°; Taitila until 06:32 Thu.
Which vara is Wed 23 Oct, and from when? Budhawara
This day began at sunrise, 06:01 on Wednesday: Budhawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:01 to 06:01 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.
Which Hindu month is Wed 23 Oct in (amanta)? Ashwina
This month began at the new moon of 5 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, 3 Nov, finds it in Tula and begins Kartika.
Which Hindu month is Wed 23 Oct in (purnimanta)? Kartika
Counted full moon to full moon, this waning half already belongs to Kartika.
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 3 Nov, with the Sun in Tula, begins Kartika. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Kartika here, and Ashwina in the amanta count.
Which samvat year is Wed 23 Oct in? Vikram 2070 · Shaka 1935
Vikram Samvat 2070 began at the Chaitra new moon of 10 Apr 2013.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 10 Apr 2013, 10:35 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 189.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2070; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1935.
Moonrise and moonset
What time is moonrise on Wed 23 Oct? 21:26
The Moon rises here at 21:26.
What time is moonset on Wed 23 Oct? 09:40
The Moon was up at sunrise and set at 09:40; it rises again at 21:26, so this day's moonrise falls in its night.
