How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Wed 21 Dec? Shukla Chaturthi
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 40.9°: Shukla Chaturthi.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 36°–48° is the 4th, Shukla Chaturthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:35 here. Tritiya ended at 21:02 Tue, before it. Chaturthi ends at 17:57, when the lead reaches 48°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 18 Dec, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Wed 21 Dec? 04:08–04:52
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 04:08–04:52.
The night of Tue 20 Dec ran from sunset 18:46 Tue to sunrise 05:35, 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 21 Dec? 11:44–12:37
Dur Muhurtam is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 11:44–12:37.
Daylight here, 05:35 to 18:46, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 52 m. Dur Muhurtam on a Wednesday is the 8th, 11:44–12:37: it takes the 8th, the middle one, so a Wednesday has no Abhijit.
Which choghadiya is good on Wed 21 Dec?
05:35–07:14 is Labha, ruled by Budha (Mercury), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight, counted good.
Daylight here, 05:35 to 18:46, 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, 18:46 to 05:35 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 21 Dec? 12:11–13:50
Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 5th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 12:11–13:50.
When is Yamagandam on Wed 21 Dec? 07:14–08:53
Yamaganda is the 2nd of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 07:14–08:53.
When is Gulika Kalam on Wed 21 Dec? 10:32–12:11
Gulikai Kalam is the 4th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 10:32–12:11.
Daylight here runs 05:35 to 18:46, 13 h 11 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 38 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 21 Dec? 05:35
Day here: sunrise 05:35, sunset 18:46, 13 h 11 m of daylight.
What time is sunset on Wed 21 Dec? 18:46
Day here: sunrise 05:35, sunset 18:46, 13 h 11 m of daylight.
Sunrise and sunset are computed for this place. Daylight lasts 13 h 11 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 21 Dec? Shravana
At sunrise the Moon was at 287.1°: Shravana, pada 3.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Shravana spans 280°00′–293°20′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 286°40′. It leaves at 15:41, for Dhanishtha.
Which yoga is it on Wed 21 Dec? Vyaghata
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 533.3°, one turn and 173.3°: Vyaghata.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 246.2° + 287.1° = 533.3°, one full turn and 173.3°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 160°00′–173°20′ is the 13th, Vyaghata. It ends at 05:37, then Harshana.
Which karana is it on Wed 21 Dec? Vanija
At sunrise the lead was 40.9°: the first half of Chaturthi, Vanija.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturthi is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija runs until 07:26, when the lead reaches 42°; Vishti until 17:57.
Which vara is Wed 21 Dec, and from when? Budhawara
This day began at sunrise, 05:35 on Wednesday: Budhawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:35 to 05:35 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.
Which Hindu month is Wed 21 Dec in (amanta)? Pausha
This month began at the new moon of 18 Dec, 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 13 Jan, inside the month. The next new moon, 16 Jan, finds it in Makara and begins Magha.
Which Hindu month is Wed 21 Dec 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 18 Dec, with the Sun in Dhanu, began Pausha. This Shukla paksha reads Pausha in both counts.
Which samvat year is Wed 21 Dec in? Vikram 2017 · Shaka 1882
Vikram Samvat 2017 began at the Chaitra new moon of 27 Mar 1960.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 27 Mar 1960, 04:37 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 262.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2017; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1882.
Moonrise and moonset
What time is moonrise on Wed 21 Dec? 08:50
The Moon rises here at 08:50.
What time is moonset on Wed 21 Dec? 21:56
The Moon was down at sunrise and rises at 08:50, in this day's daylight; it sets again at 21:56.
