How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Fri 8 Jan? Shukla Pratipada
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 7.2°: Shukla Pratipada.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 0°–12° is the 1st, Shukla Pratipada. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:21 here. Amavasya ended at 15:24 Thu, before it. Pratipada ends at 18:04, when the lead reaches 12°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 7 Jan, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Fri 8 Jan? 05:25–06:23
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 05:25–06:23.
The night of Thu 7 Jan ran from sunset 16:49 Thu to sunrise 07:21, 14 h 32 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 58 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas
When is Abhijit Muhurat on Fri 8 Jan? 11:47–12:24
Abhijit is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight, the one around midday: 11:47–12:24.

Dur Muhurtam is the 4th and 9th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 09:15–09:53 and 12:24–13:02.
When is Dur Muhurtam on Fri 8 Jan? 12:24–13:02
Dur Muhurtam is the 4th and 9th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 09:15–09:53 and 12:24–13:02.
Daylight here, 07:21 to 16:50, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 37 m. Abhijit is the 8th, the middle one. Dur Muhurtam on a Friday is the 4th and 9th, 09:15–09:53 and 12:24–13:02.
Which choghadiya is good on Fri 8 Jan?
07:21–08:32 is Chara, ruled by Shukra (Venus), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Friday's daylight, counted neutral.
Daylight here, 07:21 to 16:50, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 11 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.
The night here, 16:50 to 07:21 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 48 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

Which nakshatra is it on Fri 8 Jan? Uttara Ashadha
At sunrise the Moon was at 270.9°: Uttara Ashadha, pada 2.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Uttara Ashadha spans 266°40′–280°00′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 270°. It leaves at 01:46 Sat, for Shravana.
Which yoga is it on Fri 8 Jan? Harshana
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 534.6°, one turn and 174.6°: Harshana.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 263.7° + 270.9° = 534.6°, one full turn and 174.6°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 173°20′–186°40′ is the 14th, Harshana. It ends at 05:45 Sat, then Vajra.
Which karana is it on Fri 8 Jan? Bava
At sunrise the lead was 7.2°: the second half of Pratipada, Bava.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Pratipada is Kinstughna and the second Bava. Kinstughna ended at 04:44, when the lead reached 6°; Bava runs until 18:04.
Which vara is Fri 8 Jan, and from when? Shukrawara
This day began at sunrise, 07:21 on Friday: Shukrawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:21 to 07:21 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.
Which Hindu month is Fri 8 Jan in (amanta)? Pausha
This month began at the new moon of 7 Jan, with the Sun in Dhanu: Pausha.
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: Dhanu gives Pausha. The Sun enters Makara on 14 Jan, inside the month. The next new moon, 6 Feb, finds it in Makara and begins Magha.
Which Hindu month is Fri 8 Jan in (purnimanta)? Pausha
Counted full moon to full moon, this waxing half belongs to Pausha.
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 Jan, with the Sun in Dhanu, began Pausha. This Shukla paksha reads Pausha in both counts.
Which samvat year is Fri 8 Jan in? Vikram 2083 · Shaka 1948
Vikram Samvat 2083 began at the Chaitra new moon of 18 Mar 2026.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 18 Mar 2026, 21:23 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 289.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
