How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Sat 16 Jan? Shukla Ashtami
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 93.5°: Shukla Ashtami.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 84°–96° is the 8th, Shukla Ashtami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:18 here. Saptami ended at 10:43 Fri, before it. Ashtami ends at 10:13, when the lead reaches 96°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 7 Jan, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Sat 16 Jan? 03:57–04:37
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 03:57–04:37.
The night of Fri 15 Jan ran from sunset 19:13 Fri to sunrise 05:18, 10 h 5 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 40 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas
When is Abhijit Muhurat on Sat 16 Jan? 11:48–12:43
Abhijit is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight, the one around midday: 11:48–12:43.
When is Dur Muhurtam on Sat 16 Jan? 05:18–06:13
Dur Muhurtam is the 1st and 2nd of 15 equal parts of daylight: 05:18–06:13 and 06:13–07:09.
When is Dur Muhurtam on Sat 16 Jan? 06:13–07:09
Dur Muhurtam is the 1st and 2nd of 15 equal parts of daylight: 05:18–06:13 and 06:13–07:09.
Daylight here, 05:18 to 19:13, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 55 m. Abhijit is the 8th, the middle one. Dur Muhurtam on a Saturday is the 1st and 2nd, 05:18–06:13 and 06:13–07:09.
Which choghadiya is good on Sat 16 Jan?
05:18–07:02 is Kala, ruled by Shani (Saturn), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Saturday's daylight, counted bad.
Daylight here, 05:18 to 19:13, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 44 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 05:19 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 15 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 Sat 16 Jan? 08:47–10:31
Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 3rd of 8 equal parts of Saturday's daylight: 08:47–10:31.
When is Yamagandam on Sat 16 Jan? 14:00–15:44

Gulikai Kalam is the 1st of 8 equal parts of Saturday's daylight: 05:18–07:02.
Daylight here runs 05:18 to 19:13, 13 h 55 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 44 m, it gives the day's windows by weekday: on a Saturday Rahu Kaal is the 3rd part, Yamaganda the 6th and Gulikai Kalam the 1st.

Which nakshatra is it on Sat 16 Jan? Ashwini
At sunrise the Moon was at 5°: Ashwini, pada 2.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Ashwini spans 0°00′–13°20′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 3°20′. It leaves at 20:08, for Bharani.
Which yoga is it on Sat 16 Jan? Siddha
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 276.5°: Siddha.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 271.5° + 5° = 276.5°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 266°40′–280°00′ is the 21st, Siddha. It ends at 11:08, then Sadhya.
Which karana is it on Sat 16 Jan? Bava
At sunrise the lead was 93.5°: the second half of Ashtami, Bava.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Ashtami is Vishti and the second Bava. Vishti ended at 22:34 Fri, when the lead reached 90°; Bava runs until 10:13.
Which vara is Sat 16 Jan, and from when? Shaniwara
This day began at sunrise, 05:18 on Saturday: Shaniwara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:18 to 05:19 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.
Which Hindu month is Sat 16 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 Sat 16 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 Sat 16 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 297.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
Moonrise and moonset
What time is moonrise on Sat 16 Jan? 13:06
The Moon rises here at 13:06.
What time is moonset on Sat 16 Jan? 23:53
