How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Fri 8 Jan? Shukla Pratipada
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 3°: Shukla Pratipada.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 0°–12° is the 1st, Shukla Pratipada. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:07 here. Amavasya ended at 22:24 Thu, before it. Pratipada ends at 01:04 Sat, when the lead reaches 12°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 7 Jan, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Fri 8 Jan? 03:48–04:28
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 03:48–04:28.
The night of Thu 7 Jan ran from sunset 19:12 Thu to sunrise 05:07, 9 h 55 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 39 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas
When is Abhijit Muhurat on Fri 8 Jan? 11:42–12:38
Abhijit is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight, the one around midday: 11:42–12:38.

Dur Muhurtam is the 4th and 9th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 07:56–08:53 and 12:38–13:34.
When is Dur Muhurtam on Fri 8 Jan? 12:38–13:34
Dur Muhurtam is the 4th and 9th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 07:56–08:53 and 12:38–13:34.
Daylight here, 05:07 to 19:13, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 56 m. Abhijit is the 8th, the middle one. Dur Muhurtam on a Friday is the 4th and 9th, 07:56–08:53 and 12:38–13:34.
Which choghadiya is good on Fri 8 Jan?
05:07–06:53 is Chara, ruled by Shukra (Venus), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Friday's daylight, counted neutral.
Daylight here, 05:07 to 19:13, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 45 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.
The night here, 19:13 to 05:08 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 14 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

Which nakshatra is it on Fri 8 Jan? Purva Ashadha
At sunrise the Moon was at 266.4°: Purva Ashadha, pada 4.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Purva Ashadha spans 253°20′–266°40′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 263°20′. It leaves at 05:43, for Uttara Ashadha.
Which yoga is it on Fri 8 Jan? Vyaghata
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 529.8°, one turn and 169.8°: Vyaghata.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 263.4° + 266.4° = 529.8°, one full turn and 169.8°. 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 11:52, then Harshana.
Which karana is it on Fri 8 Jan? Kinstughna
At sunrise the lead was 3°: the first half of Pratipada, Kinstughna.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Pratipada is Kinstughna and the second Bava. Kinstughna runs until 11:44, when the lead reaches 6°; Bava until 01:04 Sat.
Which vara is Fri 8 Jan, and from when? Shukrawara
This day began at sunrise, 05:07 on Friday: Shukrawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:07 to 05:08 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.
Which Hindu month is Fri 8 Jan in (amanta)? Pausha
This month began at the new moon of 7 Jan, 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 14 Jan, inside the month. The next new moon, 6 Feb, finds it in Makara and begins Magha.
Which Hindu month is Fri 8 Jan 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 7 Jan, with the Sun in Dhanu, began Pausha. This Shukla paksha reads Pausha in both counts.
Which samvat year is Fri 8 Jan 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 289.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
