How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Wed 18 Dec? Krishna Chaturthi
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 222.8°: Krishna Chaturthi.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 216°–228° is the 19th, Krishna Chaturthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:33 here. Tritiya ended at 16:23 Tue, before it. Chaturthi ends at 15:35, when the lead reaches 228°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 14 Dec, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Wed 18 Dec? 04:07–04:50
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 04:07–04:50.
The night of Tue 17 Dec ran from sunset 18:44 Tue to sunrise 05:33, 10 h 49 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 43 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas
When is Dur Muhurtam on Wed 18 Dec? 11:43–12:35
Dur Muhurtam is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 11:43–12:35.
Daylight here, 05:33 to 18:45, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 52 m. Dur Muhurtam on a Wednesday is the 8th, 11:43–12:35: it takes the 8th, the middle one, so a Wednesday has no Abhijit.
Which choghadiya is good on Wed 18 Dec?
05:33–07:12 is Labha, ruled by Budha (Mercury), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight, counted good.
Daylight here, 05:33 to 18:45, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 39 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.
The night here, 18:45 to 05:34 Thu, 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.
Daylight in 8 parts
When is Rahu Kaal on Wed 18 Dec? 12:09–13:48
Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 5th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 12:09–13:48.
When is Yamagandam on Wed 18 Dec? 07:12–08:51
Yamaganda is the 2nd of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 07:12–08:51.
When is Gulika Kalam on Wed 18 Dec? 10:30–12:09
Gulikai Kalam is the 4th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 10:30–12:09.
Daylight here runs 05:33 to 18:45, 13 h 12 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 39 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 18 Dec? 05:33
Day here: sunrise 05:33, sunset 18:45, 13 h 12 m of daylight.
What time is sunset on Wed 18 Dec? 18:45
Day here: sunrise 05:33, sunset 18:45, 13 h 12 m of daylight.
Sunrise and sunset are computed for this place. Daylight lasts 13 h 12 m and the night until the next sunrise 10 h 49 m; every window and choghadiya is cut from these two lengths.

Which nakshatra is it on Wed 18 Dec? Pushya
At sunrise the Moon was at 106.1°: Pushya, pada 4.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Pushya spans 93°20′–106°40′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 103°20′. It leaves at 06:39, for Ashlesha.
Which yoga is it on Wed 18 Dec? Vaidhriti
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 349.4°: Vaidhriti.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 243.3° + 106.1° = 349.4°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 346°40′–360°00′ is the 27th, Vaidhriti. It ends at 23:13, then Vishkambha.
Which karana is it on Wed 18 Dec? Balava
At sunrise the lead was 222.8°: the second half of Chaturthi, Balava.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturthi is Bava and the second Balava. Bava ended at 04:01, when the lead reached 222°; Balava runs until 15:35.
Which vara is Wed 18 Dec, and from when? Budhawara
This day began at sunrise, 05:33 on Wednesday: Budhawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:33 to 05:34 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.
Which Hindu month is Wed 18 Dec in (amanta)? Margashirsha
This month began at the new moon of 29 Nov, 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, 28 Dec, finds it in Dhanu and begins Pausha.
Which Hindu month is Wed 18 Dec 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 28 Dec, 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 Wed 18 Dec in? Vikram 1997 · Shaka 1862
Vikram Samvat 1997 began at the Chaitra new moon of 7 Apr 1940.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 7 Apr 1940, 17:18 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 248.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1997; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1862.
Moonrise and moonset
What time is moonrise on Wed 18 Dec? 21:56
The Moon rises here at 21:56.
What time is moonset on Wed 18 Dec? 08:55
The Moon was up at sunrise and set at 08:55; it rises again at 21:56, so this day's moonrise falls in its night.
The Moon was up at sunrise and sets at 08:55, in this day's daylight; it rises again at 21:56.
