How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Tue 15 Dec? Shukla Shashthi
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 66°: Shukla Shashthi.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 60°–72° is the 6th, Shukla Shashthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 04:53 here. Panchami ended at 15:46 Mon, before it. Shashthi ends at 17:49, when the lead reaches 72°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 9 Dec, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Tue 15 Dec? 03:34–04:14
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 03:34–04:14.
The night of Mon 14 Dec ran from sunset 19:04 Mon to sunrise 04:53, 9 h 49 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 39 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Which nakshatra is it on Tue 15 Dec? Dhanishtha
At sunrise the Moon was at 304.9°: Dhanishtha, pada 4.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Dhanishtha spans 293°20′–306°40′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 303°20′. It leaves at 08:23, for Shatabhisha.
Which yoga is it on Tue 15 Dec? Harshana
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 543.8°, one turn and 183.8°: Harshana.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 238.9° + 304.9° = 543.8°, one full turn and 183.8°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 173°20′–186°40′ is the 14th, Harshana. It ends at 10:07, then Vajra.
Which karana is it on Tue 15 Dec? Taitila
At sunrise the lead was 66°: the second half of Shashthi, Taitila.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Shashthi is Kaulava and the second Taitila. Kaulava ended at 04:52, when the lead reached 66°; Taitila runs until 17:49.
Which vara is Tue 15 Dec, and from when? Mangalawara
This day began at sunrise, 04:53 on Tuesday: Mangalawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 04:53 to 04:53 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.
Which Hindu month is Tue 15 Dec in (amanta)? Margashirsha
This month began at the new moon of 9 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 16 Dec, inside the month. The next new moon, 7 Jan, finds it in Dhanu and begins Pausha.
Which Hindu month is Tue 15 Dec in (purnimanta)? Margashirsha
Counted full moon to full moon, this waxing half belongs to Margashirsha.
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 Dec, with the Sun in Vrishchika, began Margashirsha. This Shukla paksha reads Margashirsha in both counts.
Which samvat year is Tue 15 Dec 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 264.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
