How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Thu 21 Jan? Shukla Chaturdashi
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 160.5°: Shukla Chaturdashi.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 156°–168° is the 14th, Shukla Chaturdashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:22 here. Trayodashi ended at 21:42 Wed, before it. Chaturdashi ends at 18:00, when the lead reaches 168°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 7 Jan, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Thu 21 Jan? 04:01–04:41
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 04:01–04:41.
The night of Wed 20 Jan ran from sunset 19:12 Wed to sunrise 05:22, 10 h 10 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 Thu 21 Jan? 11:49–12:45
Abhijit is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight, the one around midday: 11:49–12:45.
When is Dur Muhurtam on Thu 21 Jan? 09:59–10:54
Dur Muhurtam is the 6th and 12th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 09:59–10:54 and 15:31–16:26.
When is Dur Muhurtam on Thu 21 Jan? 15:31–16:26
Dur Muhurtam is the 6th and 12th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 09:59–10:54 and 15:31–16:26.
Daylight here, 05:22 to 19:12, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 55 m. Abhijit is the 8th, the middle one. Dur Muhurtam on a Thursday is the 6th and 12th, 09:59–10:54 and 15:31–16:26.
Which choghadiya is good on Thu 21 Jan?
05:22–07:06 is Shubha, ruled by Guru (Jupiter), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Thursday's daylight, counted good.
Daylight here, 05:22 to 19:12, 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, 19:12 to 05:23 Fri, 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 here runs 05:22 to 19:12, 13 h 50 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 43 m, it gives the day's windows by weekday: on a Thursday Rahu Kaal is the 6th part, Yamaganda the 1st and Gulikai Kalam the 3rd.

Which nakshatra is it on Thu 21 Jan? Ardra
At sunrise the Moon was at 77.1°: Ardra, pada 4.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Ardra spans 66°40′–80°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 76°40′. It leaves at 09:54, for Punarvasu.
Which yoga is it on Thu 21 Jan? Vaidhriti
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 353.7°: Vaidhriti.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 276.6° + 77.1° = 353.7°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 346°40′–360°00′ is the 27th, Vaidhriti. It ends at 14:38, then Vishkambha.
Which karana is it on Thu 21 Jan? Garaja
At sunrise the lead was 160.5°: the first half of Chaturdashi, Garaja.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturdashi is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja runs until 07:52, when the lead reaches 162°; Vanija until 18:00.
Which vara is Thu 21 Jan, and from when? Guruwara
This day began at sunrise, 05:22 on Thursday: Guruwara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:22 to 05:23 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.
Which Hindu month is Thu 21 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 Thu 21 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 Thu 21 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 302.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
