How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Wed 20 Oct? Krishna Pratipada
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 186.2°: Krishna Pratipada.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 180°–192° is the 16th, Krishna Pratipada. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:40 here. Purnima ended at 18:47 Tue, before it. Pratipada ends at 15:40, when the lead reaches 192°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 19 Oct, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Wed 20 Oct? 04:09–04:55
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 04:09–04:55.
The night of Tue 19 Oct ran from sunset 18:14 Tue to sunrise 05:40, 11 h 26 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas
When is Dur Muhurtam on Wed 20 Oct? 11:32–12:22
Dur Muhurtam is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 11:32–12:22.
Daylight here, 05:40 to 18:14, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 50 m. Dur Muhurtam on a Wednesday is the 8th, 11:32–12:22: it takes the 8th, the middle one, so a Wednesday has no Abhijit.
Which choghadiya is good on Wed 20 Oct?
05:40–07:15 is Labha, ruled by Budha (Mercury), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight, counted good.
Daylight here, 05:40 to 18:14, 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, 18:14 to 05:40 Thu, 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 Wed 20 Oct? 11:57–13:32
Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 5th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 11:57–13:32.
When is Yamagandam on Wed 20 Oct? 07:15–08:49
Yamaganda is the 2nd of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 07:15–08:49.
When is Gulika Kalam on Wed 20 Oct? 10:23–11:57
Gulikai Kalam is the 4th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 10:23–11:57.
Daylight here runs 05:40 to 18:14, 12 h 34 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 34 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 20 Oct? 05:40
Day here: sunrise 05:40, sunset 18:14, 12 h 34 m of daylight.
What time is sunset on Wed 20 Oct? 18:14
Day here: sunrise 05:40, sunset 18:14, 12 h 34 m of daylight.
Sunrise and sunset are computed for this place. Daylight lasts 12 h 34 m and the night until the next sunrise 11 h 26 m; every window and choghadiya is cut from these two lengths.

Which nakshatra is it on Wed 20 Oct? Ashwini
At sunrise the Moon was at 9.8°: Ashwini, pada 3.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Ashwini spans 0°00′–13°20′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 6°40′. It leaves at 11:24, for Bharani.
Which yoga is it on Wed 20 Oct? Vajra
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 193.3°: Vajra.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 183.5° + 9.8° = 193.3°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 186°40′–200°00′ is the 15th, Vajra. It ends at 15:46, then Siddhi.
Which karana is it on Wed 20 Oct? Kaulava
At sunrise the lead was 186.2°: the second half of Pratipada, Kaulava.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Pratipada is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava ended at 05:15, when the lead reached 186°; Kaulava runs until 15:40.
Which vara is Wed 20 Oct, and from when? Budhawara
This day began at sunrise, 05:40 on Wednesday: Budhawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:40 to 05:40 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.
Which Hindu month is Wed 20 Oct in (amanta)? Ashwina
This month began at the new moon of 4 Oct, with the Sun in Kanya: Ashwina.
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: Kanya gives Ashwina. The Sun enters Tula on 16 Oct, inside the month. The next new moon, 3 Nov, finds it in Tula and begins Kartika.
Which Hindu month is Wed 20 Oct in (purnimanta)? Kartika
Counted full moon to full moon, this waning half already belongs to Kartika.
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 3 Nov, with the Sun in Tula, begins Kartika. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Kartika here, and Ashwina in the amanta count.
Which samvat year is Wed 20 Oct in? Vikram 1994 · Shaka 1859
Vikram Samvat 1994 began at the Chaitra new moon of 11 Apr 1937.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 11 Apr 1937, 02:09 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 185.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1994; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1859.
Moonrise and moonset
What time is moonrise on Wed 20 Oct? 19:12
The Moon rises here at 19:12.
What time is moonset on Wed 20 Oct? 05:57
The Moon was up at sunrise and set at 05:57; it rises again at 19:12, so this day's moonrise falls in its night.
The Moon was up at sunrise and sets at 05:57, in this day's daylight; it rises again at 19:12.
