How each value is worked out

Which tithi is on Mon 29 Apr? Krishna Shashthi

At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 241.2°: Krishna Shashthi.

Earth at the centre · Sun fixed at the top · Moon moves counter-clockwise · not to scale

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 240°–252° is the 21st, Krishna Shashthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:49 here. Panchami ended at 03:27, before it. Shashthi ends at 02:35 Tue, when the lead reaches 252°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 24 Apr, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

Why does New Delhi read Panchami?

New Delhi reads Panchami, Diffa reads Shashthi.

Time runs down, the same instant across both columns · each place on its own clock · dashed: tithi changes

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

New Delhi · IST

Sunrise here, 05:42, came before Panchami ended at 07:57: this day reads Panchami.

Diffa · UTC+1

Sunrise here, 05:49, came after Panchami ended at 03:27: this day reads Shashthi.

What time is Brahma Muhurta on Mon 29 Apr? 04:17–05:03

Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 04:17–05:03.

Night below the line, in 15 muhurtas, clockwise from sunset · Sunday's daylight dimmed

The night of Sun 28 Apr ran from sunset 18:24 Sun to sunrise 05:49, 11 h 25 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight in 15 muhurtas

When is Abhijit Muhurat on Mon 29 Apr? 11:41–12:32

Abhijit is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight, the one around midday: 11:41–12:32.

When is Dur Muhurtam on Mon 29 Apr? 12:32–13:22

Dur Muhurtam is the 9th and 12th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 12:32–13:22 and 15:03–15:53.

When is Dur Muhurtam on Mon 29 Apr? 15:03–15:53

Dur Muhurtam is the 9th and 12th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 12:32–13:22 and 15:03–15:53.

Daylight above the line, in 15 muhurtas · dashed: Dur Muhurtam 9, 12

Daylight here, 05:49 to 18:24, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 50 m. Abhijit is the 8th, the middle one. Dur Muhurtam on a Monday is the 9th and 12th, 12:32–13:22 and 15:03–15:53.

Which choghadiya is good on Mon 29 Apr?

05:49–07:23 is Amrita, ruled by Chandra (the Moon), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Monday's daylight, counted good.

Day above the line, night below · clockwise from sunrise

Daylight here, 05:49 to 18:24, 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.

The night here, 18:24 to 05:48 Tue, 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.

Daylight in 8 parts

When is Rahu Kaal on Mon 29 Apr? 07:23–08:58

Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 2nd of 8 equal parts of Monday's daylight: 07:23–08:58.

When is Yamagandam on Mon 29 Apr? 10:32–12:06

Yamaganda is the 4th of 8 equal parts of Monday's daylight: 10:32–12:06.

When is Gulika Kalam on Mon 29 Apr? 13:41–15:15

Gulikai Kalam is the 6th of 8 equal parts of Monday's daylight: 13:41–15:15.

Day above the line, night below · clockwise from sunrise · dashed: Yamaganda 4, Gulikai Kalam 6

Daylight here runs 05:49 to 18:24, 12 h 35 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 34 m, it gives the day's windows by weekday: on a Monday Rahu Kaal is the 2nd part, Yamaganda the 4th and Gulikai Kalam the 6th.

Sunrise and sunset

What time is sunrise on Mon 29 Apr? 05:49

Day here: sunrise 05:49, sunset 18:24, 12 h 35 m of daylight.

What time is sunset on Mon 29 Apr? 18:24

Day here: sunrise 05:49, sunset 18:24, 12 h 35 m of daylight.

Day above the line, night below · clockwise from sunrise · inner arc: Moon above the horizon, two passes

Sunrise and sunset are computed for this place. Daylight lasts 12 h 35 m and the night until the next sunrise 11 h 24 m; every window and choghadiya is cut from these two lengths.

Which nakshatra is it on Mon 29 Apr? Purva Ashadha

At sunrise the Moon was at 256.4°: Purva Ashadha, pada 1.

Stars fixed · sidereal, Lahiri · 0° at the top, counter-clockwise

The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Purva Ashadha spans 253°20′–266°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 253°20′. It leaves at 00:12 Tue, for Uttara Ashadha.

Which yoga is it on Mon 29 Apr? Siddha

At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 271.6°: Siddha.

Stars fixed · sidereal, Lahiri · 0° at the top, counter-clockwise

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 15.2° + 256.4° = 271.6°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 266°40′–280°00′ is the 21st, Siddha. It ends at 19:55, then Sadhya.

Which karana is it on Mon 29 Apr? Garaja

At sunrise the lead was 241.2°: the first half of Shashthi, Garaja.

Earth at the centre · Sun fixed at the top · Moon moves counter-clockwise · each 12° tithi halved into karanas · not to scale

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Shashthi is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja runs until 15:05, when the lead reaches 246°; Vanija until 02:35 Tue.

Which vara is Mon 29 Apr, and from when? Somawara

This day began at sunrise, 05:49 on Monday: Somawara.

One turn of the wheel is one vara, sunrise to sunrise · clockwise

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:49 to 05:48 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.

Which Hindu month is Mon 29 Apr in (amanta)? Chaitra

This month began at the new moon of 8 Apr, with the Sun in Meena: Chaitra.

Stars fixed · sidereal, Lahiri · ring: the Sun's yearly path in 12 rashis of 30°, numbered from 0° · Sun's path from new moon to new moon

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, 8 May, finds it in Mesha and begins Vaishakha.

Which Hindu month is Mon 29 Apr in (purnimanta)? Vaishakha

Counted full moon to full moon, this waning half already belongs to Vaishakha.

Time runs left to right · amanta: new moon to new moon · purnimanta: full moon to full moon

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 8 May, with the Sun in Mesha, begins Vaishakha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Vaishakha here, and Chaitra in the amanta count.

Which samvat year is Mon 29 Apr in? Vikram 2081 · Shaka 1946

Vikram Samvat 2081 began at the Chaitra new moon of 8 Apr 2024.

Stars fixed · sidereal, Lahiri · ring: the Sun's yearly path in 12 rashis of 30°, numbered from 0° · Sun's path since the year began

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 8 Apr 2024, 19:20 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 20° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2081; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1946.

Moonrise and moonset

What time is moonrise on Mon 29 Apr? 23:36

The Moon rises here at 23:36.

What time is moonset on Mon 29 Apr? 10:07

Day above the line, night below · clockwise from sunrise · inner arc: Moon above the horizon, two passes

The Moon was up at sunrise and set at 10:07; it rises again at 23:36, so this day's moonrise falls in its night.

The Moon was up at sunrise and sets at 10:07, in this day's daylight; it rises again at 23:36.
