How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Wed 6 May? Krishna Panchami
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 229°: Krishna Panchami.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 228°–240° is the 20th, Krishna Panchami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:40 here. Chaturthi ended at 04:21, before it. Panchami ends at 06:44 Thu, when the lead reaches 240°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 1 May, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.
Why does Panchami hold two sunrises?
Panchami holds the sunrises of both Wed 6 and Thu 7 May here.
A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Panchami began at 04:21, before sunrise at 06:40, and ends at 06:44 Thu, after the next sunrise at 06:40 Thu. Both days read Panchami: it is a vriddhi tithi here.
Why does New Delhi read Chaturthi?
New Delhi reads Chaturthi, Maclear reads Panchami.

What time is Brahma Muhurta on Wed 6 May? 04:54–05:47
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 04:54–05:47.
The night of Tue 5 May ran from sunset 17:26 Tue to sunrise 06:40, 13 h 14 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 52 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas
When is Dur Muhurtam on Wed 6 May? 11:41–12:24
Dur Muhurtam is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 11:41–12:24.
Daylight here, 06:40 to 17:25, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 43 m. Dur Muhurtam on a Wednesday is the 8th, 11:41–12:24: it takes the 8th, the middle one, so a Wednesday has no Abhijit.
Which choghadiya is good on Wed 6 May?
06:40–08:00 is Labha, ruled by Budha (Mercury), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight, counted good.
Daylight here, 06:40 to 17:25, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 20 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.
The night here, 17:25 to 06:40 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 39 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 6 May? 12:02–13:23
Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 5th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 12:02–13:23.

Yamaganda is the 2nd of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 08:00–09:21.
When is Gulika Kalam on Wed 6 May? 10:42–12:02
Gulikai Kalam is the 4th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 10:42–12:02.
Daylight here runs 06:40 to 17:25, 10 h 45 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 20 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.

Day here: sunrise 06:40, sunset 17:25, 10 h 45 m of daylight.

Which nakshatra is it on Wed 6 May? Mula
At sunrise the Moon was at 250.5°: Mula, pada 4.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Mula spans 240°00′–253°20′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 250°. It leaves at 12:23, for Purva Ashadha.
Which yoga is it on Wed 6 May? Siddha
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 272°: Siddha.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 21.5° + 250.5° = 272°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 266°40′–280°00′ is the 21st, Siddha. It ends at 21:42, then Sadhya.
Which karana is it on Wed 6 May? Kaulava
At sunrise the lead was 229°: the first half of Panchami, Kaulava.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Panchami is Kaulava and the second Taitila. Kaulava runs until 17:34, when the lead reaches 234°; Taitila until 06:44 Thu.
Which vara is Wed 6 May, and from when? Budhawara
This day began at sunrise, 06:40 on Wednesday: Budhawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:40 to 06:40 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.
Which Hindu month is Wed 6 May in (amanta)? Vaishakha
This month began at the new moon of 17 Apr, with the Sun in Mesha: Vaishakha.
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: Mesha gives Vaishakha. The Sun enters Vrishabha on 15 May, inside the month. The next new moon, 16 May, finds it in Vrishabha and begins Jyeshtha.
Which Hindu month is Wed 6 May in (purnimanta)? Jyeshtha
Counted full moon to full moon, this waning half already belongs to Jyeshtha.
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 16 May, with the Sun in Vrishabha, begins Jyeshtha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Jyeshtha here, and Vaishakha in the amanta count.
Which samvat year is Wed 6 May 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 47.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
