How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Sun 15 Dec? Shukla Trayodashi
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 155.9°: Shukla Trayodashi.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 144°–156° is the 13th, Shukla Trayodashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:24 here. Dwadashi ended at 04:58 Sat, before it. Trayodashi ends at 06:29, when the lead reaches 156°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 3 Dec, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
Why does Trayodashi hold two sunrises?
Trayodashi holds the sunrises of both Sat 14 and Sun 15 Dec here.
A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Trayodashi began at 04:58 Sat, before sunrise at 06:23 Sat, and ends at 06:29, after the next sunrise at 06:24. Both days read Trayodashi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Sun 15 Dec? 04:43–05:33
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 04:43–05:33.
The night of Sat 14 Dec ran from sunset 17:44 Sat to sunrise 06:24, 12 h 40 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 50 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas
When is Abhijit Muhurat on Sun 15 Dec? 11:42–12:27
Abhijit is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight, the one around midday: 11:42–12:27.
When is Dur Muhurtam on Sun 15 Dec? 16:14–16:59
Dur Muhurtam is the 14th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 16:14–16:59.
Daylight here, 06:24 to 17:45, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m. Abhijit is the 8th, the middle one. Dur Muhurtam on a Sunday is the 14th, 16:14–16:59.
Which choghadiya is good on Sun 15 Dec?
06:24–07:49 is Udvega, ruled by Surya (the Sun), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Sunday's daylight, counted bad.
Daylight here, 06:24 to 17:45, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 25 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.
The night here, 17:45 to 06:24 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 34 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 Sun 15 Dec? 16:20–17:45
Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 8th of 8 equal parts of Sunday's daylight: 16:20–17:45.
When is Yamagandam on Sun 15 Dec? 12:04–13:29
Yamaganda is the 5th of 8 equal parts of Sunday's daylight: 12:04–13:29.
When is Gulika Kalam on Sun 15 Dec? 14:55–16:20
Gulikai Kalam is the 7th of 8 equal parts of Sunday's daylight: 14:55–16:20.
Daylight here runs 06:24 to 17:45, 11 h 21 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 25 m, it gives the day's windows by weekday: on a Sunday Rahu Kaal is the 8th part, Yamaganda the 5th and Gulikai Kalam the 7th.

Day here: sunrise 06:24, sunset 17:45, 11 h 21 m of daylight.
What time is sunset on Sun 15 Dec? 17:45

Which nakshatra is it on Sun 15 Dec? Krittika
At sunrise the Moon was at 35.3°: Krittika, pada 3.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Krittika spans 26°40′–40°00′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 33°20′. It leaves at 15:39, for Rohini.
Which yoga is it on Sun 15 Dec? Siddha
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 274.6°: Siddha.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 239.3° + 35.3° = 274.6°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 266°40′–280°00′ is the 21st, Siddha. It ends at 16:08, then Sadhya.
Which karana is it on Sun 15 Dec? Taitila
At sunrise the lead was 155.9°: the second half of Trayodashi, Taitila.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Trayodashi is Kaulava and the second Taitila. Kaulava ended at 17:41 Sat, when the lead reached 150°; Taitila runs until 06:29.
Which vara is Sun 15 Dec, and from when? Raviwara
This day began at sunrise, 06:24 on Sunday: Raviwara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:24 to 06:24 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.
Which Hindu month is Sun 15 Dec in (amanta)? Margashirsha
This month began at the new moon of 3 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 15 Dec, inside the month. The next new moon, 1 Jan, finds it in Dhanu and begins Pausha.
Which Hindu month is Sun 15 Dec in (purnimanta)? Margashirsha
Counted full moon to full moon, this waxing half belongs to Margashirsha.
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 Dec, with the Sun in Vrishchika, began Margashirsha. This Shukla paksha reads Margashirsha in both counts.
Which samvat year is Sun 15 Dec 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 242.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2070; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1935.
