How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Wed 20 Apr? Shukla Chaturdashi
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 158.1°: Shukla Chaturdashi.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 156°–168° is the 14th, Shukla Chaturdashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:53 here. Trayodashi ended at 01:16, before it. Chaturdashi ends at 03:50 Thu, when the lead reaches 168°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 7 Apr, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Wed 20 Apr? 04:21–05:07
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 04:21–05:07.
The night of Tue 19 Apr ran from sunset 18:23 Tue to sunrise 05:53, 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 20 Apr? 11:43–12:33
Dur Muhurtam is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 11:43–12:33.
Daylight here, 05:53 to 18:23, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 50 m. Dur Muhurtam on a Wednesday is the 8th, 11:43–12:33: it takes the 8th, the middle one, so a Wednesday has no Abhijit.
Which choghadiya is good on Wed 20 Apr?
05:53–07:27 is Labha, ruled by Budha (Mercury), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight, counted good.
Daylight here, 05:53 to 18:23, 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, 18:23 to 05:53 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 20 Apr? 12:08–13:42
Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 5th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 12:08–13:42.
When is Yamagandam on Wed 20 Apr? 07:27–09:01
Yamaganda is the 2nd of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 07:27–09:01.
When is Gulika Kalam on Wed 20 Apr? 10:34–12:08
Gulikai Kalam is the 4th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 10:34–12:08.
Daylight here runs 05:53 to 18:23, 12 h 30 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 20 Apr? 05:53
Day here: sunrise 05:53, sunset 18:23, 12 h 30 m of daylight.
What time is sunset on Wed 20 Apr? 18:23
Day here: sunrise 05:53, sunset 18:23, 12 h 30 m of daylight.
Sunrise and sunset are computed for this place. Daylight lasts 12 h 30 m and the night until the next sunrise 11 h 30 m; every window and choghadiya is cut from these two lengths.

Which nakshatra is it on Wed 20 Apr? Hasta
At sunrise the Moon was at 164.5°: Hasta, pada 2.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Hasta spans 160°00′–173°20′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 163°20′. It leaves at 23:44, for Chitra.
Which yoga is it on Wed 20 Apr? Vyaghata
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 171°: Vyaghata.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 6.5° + 164.5° = 171°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 160°00′–173°20′ is the 13th, Vyaghata. It ends at 10:15, then Harshana.
Which karana is it on Wed 20 Apr? Garaja
At sunrise the lead was 158.1°: the first half of Chaturdashi, Garaja.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturdashi is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja runs until 14:33, when the lead reaches 162°; Vanija until 03:50 Thu.
Which vara is Wed 20 Apr, and from when? Budhawara
This day began at sunrise, 05:53 on Wednesday: Budhawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:53 to 05:53 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.
Which Hindu month is Wed 20 Apr in (amanta)? Chaitra
This month began at the new moon of 7 Apr, with the Sun in Meena: Chaitra.
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: Meena gives Chaitra. The Sun enters Mesha on 13 Apr, inside the month. The next new moon, 6 May, finds it in Mesha and begins Vaishakha.
Which Hindu month is Wed 20 Apr in (purnimanta)? Chaitra
Counted full moon to full moon, this waxing half belongs to Chaitra.
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 Apr, with the Sun in Meena, began Chaitra. This Shukla paksha reads Chaitra in both counts.
Which samvat year is Wed 20 Apr in? Vikram 2073 · Shaka 1938
Vikram Samvat 2073 began at the Chaitra new moon of 7 Apr 2016.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 7 Apr 2016, 12:23 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 12.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2073; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1938.
Moonrise and moonset
What time is moonrise on Wed 20 Apr? 17:12
The Moon rises here at 17:12.
What time is moonset on Wed 20 Apr? 05:23 Thu
The Moon was down at sunrise and rises at 17:12, in this day's daylight; it sets again at 05:23 Thu.
