How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Sat 23 Dec? Shukla Dwadashi
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 134°: Shukla Dwadashi.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 132°–144° is the 12th, Shukla Dwadashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:28 here. Ekadashi ended at 02:42, before it. Dwadashi ends at 01:54 Sun, when the lead reaches 144°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 13 Dec, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
Why does New Delhi read Ekadashi?
New Delhi reads Ekadashi, Diffa reads Dwadashi.
A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.
New Delhi · IST
Sunrise here, 07:10, came before Ekadashi ended at 07:12: this day reads Ekadashi. Dwadashi ends at 06:24 Sun, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Dwadashi: it is kshaya.

Which nakshatra is it on Sat 23 Dec? Bharani
At sunrise the Moon was at 20.9°: 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 16:49, for Krittika.
Which yoga is it on Sat 23 Dec? Siddha
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 267.8°: Siddha.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 246.9° + 20.9° = 267.8°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 266°40′–280°00′ is the 21st, Siddha. It ends at 02:47 Sun, then Sadhya.
Which karana is it on Sat 23 Dec? Bava
At sunrise the lead was 134°: the first half of Dwadashi, Bava.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwadashi is Bava and the second Balava. Bava runs until 14:16, when the lead reaches 138°; Balava until 01:54 Sun.
Which vara is Sat 23 Dec, and from when? Shaniwara
This day began at sunrise, 06:28 on Saturday: Shaniwara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:28 to 06:28 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.
Which Hindu month is Sat 23 Dec in (amanta)? Margashirsha
This month began at the new moon of 13 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 16 Dec, inside the month. The next new moon, 11 Jan, finds it in Dhanu and begins Pausha.
Which Hindu month is Sat 23 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 13 Dec, with the Sun in Vrishchika, began Margashirsha. This Shukla paksha reads Margashirsha in both counts.
Which samvat year is Sat 23 Dec in? Vikram 2080 · Shaka 1945
Vikram Samvat 2080 began at the Chaitra new moon of 21 Mar 2023.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 21 Mar 2023, 18:23 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 270.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2080; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1945.
