How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Thu 4 Jan? Krishna Dashami
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 297.4°: Krishna Dashami.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 288°–300° is the 25th, Krishna Dashami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:42 here. Navami ended at 11:44 Wed, before it. Dashami ends at 10:43, when the lead reaches 300°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 26 Dec, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Thu 4 Jan? 04:15–04:59
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 04:15–04:59.
The night of Wed 3 Jan ran from sunset 18:51 Wed to sunrise 05:42, 10 h 51 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 43 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas
When is Abhijit Muhurat on Thu 4 Jan? 11:51–12:43
Abhijit is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight, the one around midday: 11:51–12:43.
When is Dur Muhurtam on Thu 4 Jan? 10:05–10:58
Dur Muhurtam is the 6th and 12th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 10:05–10:58 and 15:21–16:14.
When is Dur Muhurtam on Thu 4 Jan? 15:21–16:14
Dur Muhurtam is the 6th and 12th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 10:05–10:58 and 15:21–16:14.
Daylight here, 05:42 to 18:52, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 52 m. Abhijit is the 8th, the middle one. Dur Muhurtam on a Thursday is the 6th and 12th, 10:05–10:58 and 15:21–16:14.
Which choghadiya is good on Thu 4 Jan?
05:42–07:21 is Shubha, ruled by Guru (Jupiter), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Thursday's daylight, counted good.
Daylight here, 05:42 to 18:52, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 38 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.
The night here, 18:52 to 05:43 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 21 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

When is Rahu Kaal on Thu 4 Jan? 13:56–15:34

When is Gulika Kalam on Thu 4 Jan? 09:00–10:38
Gulikai Kalam is the 3rd of 8 equal parts of Thursday's daylight: 09:00–10:38.
Daylight here runs 05:42 to 18:52, 13 h 10 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 38 m, it gives the day's windows by weekday: on a Thursday Rahu Kaal is the 6th part, Yamaganda the 1st and Gulikai Kalam the 3rd.

Which nakshatra is it on Thu 4 Jan? Swati
At sunrise the Moon was at 197.2°: Swati, pada 4.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Swati spans 186°40′–200°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 196°40′. It leaves at 10:39, for Vishakha.
Which yoga is it on Thu 4 Jan? Dhriti
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 457°, one turn and 97°: Dhriti.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 259.8° + 197.2° = 457°, one full turn and 97°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 93°20′–106°40′ is the 8th, Dhriti. It ends at 21:41, then Shula.
Which karana is it on Thu 4 Jan? Vishti
At sunrise the lead was 297.4°: the second half of Dashami, Vishti.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dashami is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija ended at 23:11 Wed, when the lead reached 294°; Vishti runs until 10:43.
Which vara is Thu 4 Jan, and from when? Guruwara
This day began at sunrise, 05:42 on Thursday: Guruwara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:42 to 05:43 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.
Which Hindu month is Thu 4 Jan in (amanta)? Margashirsha
This month began at the new moon of 10 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 15 Dec, inside the month. The next new moon, 9 Jan, finds it in Dhanu and begins Pausha.
Which Hindu month is Thu 4 Jan in (purnimanta)? Pausha
Counted full moon to full moon, this waning half already 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 9 Jan, with the Sun in Dhanu, begins Pausha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Pausha here, and Margashirsha in the amanta count.
Which samvat year is Thu 4 Jan in? Vikram 1996 · Shaka 1861
Vikram Samvat 1996 began at the Chaitra new moon of 20 Mar 1939.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 20 Mar 1939, 22:49 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 283.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1996; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1861.
