How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Sat 3 Apr? Krishna Dwadashi
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 315.2°: Krishna Dwadashi.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 312°–324° is the 27th, Krishna Dwadashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:18 here. Ekadashi ended at 23:22 Fri, before it. Dwadashi ends at 00:57 Sun, when the lead reaches 324°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 22 Mar, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Sat 3 Apr? 04:40–05:29
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 04:40–05:29.
The night of Fri 2 Apr ran from sunset 18:01 Fri to sunrise 06:18, 12 h 17 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 49 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas
When is Abhijit Muhurat on Sat 3 Apr? 11:46–12:32
Abhijit is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight, the one around midday: 11:46–12:32.

Dur Muhurtam is the 1st and 2nd of 15 equal parts of daylight: 06:18–07:05 and 07:05–07:52.
When is Dur Muhurtam on Sat 3 Apr? 07:05–07:52
Dur Muhurtam is the 1st and 2nd of 15 equal parts of daylight: 06:18–07:05 and 07:05–07:52.
Daylight here, 06:18 to 18:00, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 46 m. Abhijit is the 8th, the middle one. Dur Muhurtam on a Saturday is the 1st and 2nd, 06:18–07:05 and 07:05–07:52.
Which choghadiya is good on Sat 3 Apr?
06:18–07:46 is Kala, ruled by Shani (Saturn), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Saturday's daylight, counted bad.
Daylight here, 06:18 to 18:00, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 27 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.
The night here, 18:00 to 06:19 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 32 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 3 Apr? 09:14–10:41
Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 3rd of 8 equal parts of Saturday's daylight: 09:14–10:41.
When is Yamagandam on Sat 3 Apr? 13:37–15:05

When is Gulika Kalam on Sat 3 Apr? 06:18–07:46
Gulikai Kalam is the 1st of 8 equal parts of Saturday's daylight: 06:18–07:46.
Daylight here runs 06:18 to 18:00, 11 h 42 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 27 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 3 Apr? Dhanishtha
At sunrise the Moon was at 304.2°: 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 11:11, for Shatabhisha.
Which yoga is it on Sat 3 Apr? Sadhya
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 653.2°, one turn and 293.2°: Sadhya.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 349° + 304.2° = 653.2°, one full turn and 293.2°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 280°00′–293°20′ is the 22nd, Sadhya. It ends at 06:40, then Shubha.
Which karana is it on Sat 3 Apr? Kaulava
At sunrise the lead was 315.2°: the first half of Dwadashi, Kaulava.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwadashi is Kaulava and the second Taitila. Kaulava runs until 12:14, when the lead reaches 318°; Taitila until 00:57 Sun.
Which vara is Sat 3 Apr, and from when? Shaniwara
This day began at sunrise, 06:18 on Saturday: Shaniwara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:18 to 06:19 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.
Which Hindu month is Sat 3 Apr in (amanta)? Phalguna
This month began at the new moon of 8 Mar, with the Sun in Kumbha: Phalguna.
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: Kumbha gives Phalguna. The Sun enters Meena on 15 Mar, inside the month. The next new moon, 7 Apr, finds it in Meena and begins Chaitra.
Which Hindu month is Sat 3 Apr in (purnimanta)? Chaitra
Counted full moon to full moon, this waning half already belongs to Chaitra.
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 Apr, with the Sun in Meena, begins Chaitra. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Chaitra here, and Phalguna in the amanta count.
Which samvat year is Sat 3 Apr 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 374.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
Moonrise and moonset
What time is moonrise on Sat 3 Apr? 03:43 Sun
The Moon rises here at 03:43 Sun.
What time is moonset on Sat 3 Apr? 16:00
The Moon was up at sunrise and set at 16:00; it rises again at 03:43 Sun, so this day's moonrise falls in its night.
