How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Wed 16 Dec? Shukla Saptami
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 78.4°: Shukla Saptami.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 72°–84° is the 7th, Shukla Saptami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:24 here. Shashthi ended at 16:49 Tue, before it. Saptami ends at 18:16, when the lead reaches 84°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 9 Dec, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Wed 16 Dec? 04:43–05:34
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 04:43–05:34.
The night of Tue 15 Dec ran from sunset 17:45 Tue to sunrise 06:24, 12 h 39 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 50 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas
When is Dur Muhurtam on Wed 16 Dec? 11:42–12:27
Dur Muhurtam is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 11:42–12:27.
Daylight here, 06:24 to 17:45, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m. Dur Muhurtam on a Wednesday is the 8th, 11:42–12:27: it takes the 8th, the middle one, so a Wednesday has no Abhijit.
Which choghadiya is good on Wed 16 Dec?
06:24–07:49 is Labha, ruled by Budha (Mercury), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight, counted good.
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 06:25 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 35 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 16 Dec? 12:05–13:30
Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 5th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 12:05–13:30.
When is Yamagandam on Wed 16 Dec? 07:49–09:14
Yamaganda is the 2nd of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 07:49–09:14.
When is Gulika Kalam on Wed 16 Dec? 10:40–12:05
Gulikai Kalam is the 4th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 10:40–12:05.
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 Wednesday Rahu Kaal is the 5th part, Yamaganda the 2nd and Gulikai Kalam the 4th.
Sunrise and sunset
What time is sunrise on Wed 16 Dec? 06:24
Day here: sunrise 06:24, sunset 17:45, 11 h 21 m of daylight.
What time is sunset on Wed 16 Dec? 17:45
Day here: sunrise 06:24, sunset 17:45, 11 h 21 m of daylight.
Sunrise and sunset are computed for this place. Daylight lasts 11 h 21 m and the night until the next sunrise 12 h 40 m; every window and choghadiya is cut from these two lengths.

Which nakshatra is it on Wed 16 Dec? Shatabhisha
At sunrise the Moon was at 318.4°: Shatabhisha, pada 4.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Shatabhisha spans 306°40′–320°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 316°40′. It leaves at 09:32, for Purva Bhadrapada.
Which yoga is it on Wed 16 Dec? Vajra
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 558.4°, one turn and 198.4°: Vajra.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 240° + 318.4° = 558.4°, one full turn and 198.4°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 186°40′–200°00′ is the 15th, Vajra. It ends at 09:16, then Siddhi.
Which karana is it on Wed 16 Dec? Vanija
At sunrise the lead was 78.4°: the second half of Saptami, Vanija.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Saptami is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja ended at 05:38, when the lead reached 78°; Vanija runs until 18:16.
Which vara is Wed 16 Dec, and from when? Budhawara
This day began at sunrise, 06:24 on Wednesday: Budhawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:24 to 06:25 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.
Which Hindu month is Wed 16 Dec in (amanta)? Margashirsha
This month began at the new moon of 9 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, 7 Jan, finds it in Dhanu and begins Pausha.
Which Hindu month is Wed 16 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 9 Dec, with the Sun in Vrishchika, began Margashirsha. This Shukla paksha reads Margashirsha in both counts.
Which samvat year is Wed 16 Dec in? Vikram 2083 · Shaka 1948
Vikram Samvat 2083 began at the Chaitra new moon of 19 Mar 2026.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 19 Mar 2026, 02:23 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 265.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
Moonrise and moonset
What time is moonrise on Wed 16 Dec? 11:36
The Moon rises here at 11:36.
What time is moonset on Wed 16 Dec? 23:51
The Moon was down at sunrise and rises at 11:36, in this day's daylight; it sets again at 23:51.
