How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Wed 12 Jan? Krishna Shashthi
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 251.2°: Krishna Shashthi.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 240°–252° is the 21st, Krishna Shashthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:48 here. Panchami ended at 10:33 Tue, before it. Shashthi ends at 08:15, when the lead reaches 252°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 7 Jan, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.
Why is Saptami skipped here?
Saptami began after one sunrise and ended before the next, so no day here reads Saptami.
A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Saptami began at 08:15 and ended at 06:34 Thu, between the sunrises of 06:48 and 06:48 Thu. Wednesday reads Shashthi and Thursday reads Ashtami: Saptami is a kshaya tithi here.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Wed 12 Jan? 05:20–06:04
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 05:20–06:04.
The night of Tue 11 Jan ran from sunset 19:53 Tue to sunrise 06:48, 10 h 55 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 12 Jan? 12:54–13:47
Dur Muhurtam is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 12:54–13:47.
Daylight here, 06:48 to 19:54, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 52 m. Dur Muhurtam on a Wednesday is the 8th, 12:54–13:47: it takes the 8th, the middle one, so a Wednesday has no Abhijit.
Which choghadiya is good on Wed 12 Jan?
06:48–08:26 is Labha, ruled by Budha (Mercury), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight, counted good.
Daylight here, 06:48 to 19:54, 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, 19:54 to 06:48 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 12 Jan? 13:21–14:59
Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 5th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 13:21–14:59.
When is Yamagandam on Wed 12 Jan? 08:26–10:04
Yamaganda is the 2nd of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 08:26–10:04.
When is Gulika Kalam on Wed 12 Jan? 11:42–13:21
Gulikai Kalam is the 4th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 11:42–13:21.
Daylight here runs 06:48 to 19:54, 13 h 6 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 12 Jan? 06:48
Day here: sunrise 06:48, sunset 19:54, 13 h 6 m of daylight.
What time is sunset on Wed 12 Jan? 19:54
Day here: sunrise 06:48, sunset 19:54, 13 h 6 m of daylight.
Sunrise and sunset are computed for this place. Daylight lasts 13 h 6 m and the night until the next sunrise 10 h 54 m; every window and choghadiya is cut from these two lengths.

Which nakshatra is it on Wed 12 Jan? Uttara Phalguni
At sunrise the Moon was at 159.5°: Uttara Phalguni, pada 4.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Uttara Phalguni spans 146°40′–160°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 156°40′. It leaves at 07:36, for Hasta.
Which yoga is it on Wed 12 Jan? Atiganda
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 427.8°, one turn and 67.8°: Atiganda.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 268.3° + 159.5° = 427.8°, one full turn and 67.8°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 66°40′–80°00′ is the 6th, Atiganda. It ends at 02:15 Thu, then Sukarma.
Which karana is it on Wed 12 Jan? Vanija
At sunrise the lead was 251.2°: the second half of Shashthi, Vanija.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Shashthi is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja ended at 21:20 Tue, when the lead reached 246°; Vanija runs until 08:15.
Which vara is Wed 12 Jan, and from when? Budhawara
This day began at sunrise, 06:48 on Wednesday: Budhawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:48 to 06:48 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.
Which Hindu month is Wed 12 Jan in (amanta)? Pausha
This month began at the new moon of 22 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, 21 Jan, finds it in Makara and begins Magha.
Which Hindu month is Wed 12 Jan in (purnimanta)? Magha
Counted full moon to full moon, this waning half already belongs to Magha.
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 21 Jan, with the Sun in Makara, begins Magha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Magha here, and Pausha in the amanta count.
Which samvat year is Wed 12 Jan in? Vikram 2022 · Shaka 1887
Vikram Samvat 2022 began at the Chaitra new moon of 1 Apr 1965.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 1 Apr 1965, 21:20 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 279.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2022; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1887.
Moonrise and moonset
What time is moonrise on Wed 12 Jan? 00:37 Thu
The Moon rises here at 00:37 Thu.
What time is moonset on Wed 12 Jan? 12:12
The Moon was up at sunrise and set at 12:12; it rises again at 00:37 Thu, so this day's moonrise falls in its night.
The Moon was up at sunrise and sets at 12:12, in this day's daylight; it rises again at 00:37 Thu.
