How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Wed 18 Nov? Shukla Navami
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 97.1°: Shukla Navami.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 96°–108° is the 9th, Shukla Navami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 04:55 here. Ashtami ended at 02:35, before it. Navami ends at 03:36 Thu, when the lead reaches 108°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 9 Nov, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Wed 18 Nov? 03:33–04:14
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 03:33–04:14.
The night of Tue 17 Nov ran from sunset 18:42 Tue to sunrise 04:55, 10 h 13 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 40 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas
When is Dur Muhurtam on Wed 18 Nov? 11:21–12:16
Dur Muhurtam is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 11:21–12:16.
Daylight here, 04:55 to 18:43, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 55 m. Dur Muhurtam on a Wednesday is the 8th, 11:21–12:16: it takes the 8th, the middle one, so a Wednesday has no Abhijit.
Which choghadiya is good on Wed 18 Nov?
04:55–06:39 is Labha, ruled by Budha (Mercury), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight, counted good.
Daylight here, 04:55 to 18:43, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 43 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.
The night here, 18:43 to 04:55 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 16 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 Nov? 11:49–13:32
Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 5th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 11:49–13:32.
When is Yamagandam on Wed 18 Nov? 06:39–08:22
Yamaganda is the 2nd of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 06:39–08:22.
When is Gulika Kalam on Wed 18 Nov? 10:05–11:49
Gulikai Kalam is the 4th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 10:05–11:49.
Daylight here runs 04:55 to 18:43, 13 h 48 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 43 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 Nov? 04:55
Day here: sunrise 04:55, sunset 18:43, 13 h 48 m of daylight.
What time is sunset on Wed 18 Nov? 18:43
Day here: sunrise 04:55, sunset 18:43, 13 h 48 m of daylight.
Sunrise and sunset are computed for this place. Daylight lasts 13 h 48 m and the night until the next sunrise 10 h 12 m; every window and choghadiya is cut from these two lengths.

Which nakshatra is it on Wed 18 Nov? Shatabhisha
At sunrise the Moon was at 308.6°: Shatabhisha, pada 1.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Shatabhisha spans 306°40′–320°00′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 306°40′. It leaves at 02:40 Thu, for Purva Bhadrapada.
Which yoga is it on Wed 18 Nov? Vyaghata
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 520.1°, one turn and 160.1°: Vyaghata.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 211.5° + 308.6° = 520.1°, one full turn and 160.1°. 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 04:12 Thu, then Harshana.
Which karana is it on Wed 18 Nov? Balava
At sunrise the lead was 97.1°: the first half of Navami, Balava.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Navami is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava runs until 15:12, when the lead reaches 102°; Kaulava until 03:36 Thu.
Which vara is Wed 18 Nov, and from when? Budhawara
This day began at sunrise, 04:55 on Wednesday: Budhawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 04:55 to 04:55 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.
Which Hindu month is Wed 18 Nov in (amanta)? Kartika
This month began at the new moon of 9 Nov, with the Sun in Tula: Kartika.
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: Tula gives Kartika. The Sun enters Vrishchika on 16 Nov, inside the month. The next new moon, 9 Dec, finds it in Vrishchika and begins Margashirsha.
Which Hindu month is Wed 18 Nov in (purnimanta)? Kartika
Counted full moon to full moon, this waxing half 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 9 Nov, with the Sun in Tula, began Kartika. This Shukla paksha reads Kartika in both counts.
Which samvat year is Wed 18 Nov in? Vikram 2083 · Shaka 1948
Vikram Samvat 2083 began at the Chaitra new moon of 19 Mar 2026.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 19 Mar 2026, 03:23 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 237.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
Moonrise and moonset
What time is moonrise on Wed 18 Nov? 12:27
The Moon rises here at 12:27.
What time is moonset on Wed 18 Nov? 01:20 Thu
The Moon was down at sunrise and rises at 12:27, in this day's daylight; it sets again at 01:20 Thu.
