How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Wed 21 Mar? Shukla Chaturthi
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 45.5°: Shukla Chaturthi.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 36°–48° is the 4th, Shukla Chaturthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:13 here. Tritiya ended at 12:20 Tue, before it. Chaturthi ends at 10:58, when the lead reaches 48°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 17 Mar, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Wed 21 Mar? 04:38–05:25
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 04:38–05:25.
The night of Tue 20 Mar ran from sunset 18:20 Tue to sunrise 06:13, 11 h 53 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 47 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas
When is Dur Muhurtam on Wed 21 Mar? 11:52–12:41
Dur Muhurtam is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 11:52–12:41.
Daylight here, 06:13 to 18:20, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m. Dur Muhurtam on a Wednesday is the 8th, 11:52–12:41: it takes the 8th, the middle one, so a Wednesday has no Abhijit.
Which choghadiya is good on Wed 21 Mar?
06:13–07:44 is Labha, ruled by Budha (Mercury), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight, counted good.
Daylight here, 06:13 to 18:20, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 30 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.
The night here, 18:20 to 06:12 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 29 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 21 Mar? 12:16–13:47
Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 5th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 12:16–13:47.
When is Yamagandam on Wed 21 Mar? 07:44–09:15
Yamaganda is the 2nd of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 07:44–09:15.
When is Gulika Kalam on Wed 21 Mar? 10:45–12:16
Gulikai Kalam is the 4th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 10:45–12:16.
Daylight here runs 06:13 to 18:20, 12 h 7 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 30 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 21 Mar? 06:13
Day here: sunrise 06:13, sunset 18:20, 12 h 7 m of daylight.
What time is sunset on Wed 21 Mar? 18:20
Day here: sunrise 06:13, sunset 18:20, 12 h 7 m of daylight.
Sunrise and sunset are computed for this place. Daylight lasts 12 h 7 m and the night until the next sunrise 11 h 52 m; every window and choghadiya is cut from these two lengths.

Which nakshatra is it on Wed 21 Mar? Bharani
At sunrise the Moon was at 21.9°: Bharani, pada 3.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Bharani spans 13°20′–26°40′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 20°. It leaves at 14:31, for Krittika.
Which yoga is it on Wed 21 Mar? Vaidhriti
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 358.3°: Vaidhriti.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 336.4° + 21.9° = 358.3°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 346°40′–360°00′ is the 27th, Vaidhriti. It ends at 08:56, then Vishkambha.
Which karana is it on Wed 21 Mar? Vishti
At sunrise the lead was 45.5°: the second half of Chaturthi, Vishti.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturthi is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija ended at 23:41 Tue, when the lead reached 42°; Vishti runs until 10:58.
Which vara is Wed 21 Mar, and from when? Budhawara
This day began at sunrise, 06:13 on Wednesday: Budhawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:13 to 06:12 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.
Which Hindu month is Wed 21 Mar in (amanta)? Chaitra
This month began at the new moon of 17 Mar, 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 14 Apr, inside the month. The next new moon, 16 Apr, finds it in Mesha and begins Vaishakha.
Which Hindu month is Wed 21 Mar 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 17 Mar, with the Sun in Meena, began Chaitra. This Shukla paksha reads Chaitra in both counts.
Which samvat year is Wed 21 Mar in? Vikram 2075 · Shaka 1940
Vikram Samvat 2075 began at the Chaitra new moon of 17 Mar 2018.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 17 Mar 2018, 14:11 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 3.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2075; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1940.
Moonrise and moonset
What time is moonrise on Wed 21 Mar? 09:10
The Moon rises here at 09:10.
What time is moonset on Wed 21 Mar? 22:01
The Moon was down at sunrise and rises at 09:10, in this day's daylight; it sets again at 22:01.
