How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Wed 12 May? Shukla Saptami
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 76.9°: Shukla Saptami.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 72°–84° is the 7th, Shukla Saptami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:44 here. Shashthi ended at 21:54 Tue, before it. Saptami ends at 19:43, when the lead reaches 84°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 6 May, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Wed 12 May? 04:57–05:50
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 04:57–05:50.
The night of Tue 11 May ran from sunset 17:21 Tue to sunrise 06:44, 13 h 23 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 53 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas
When is Dur Muhurtam on Wed 12 May? 11:41–12:23
Dur Muhurtam is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 11:41–12:23.
Daylight here, 06:44 to 17:21, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 42 m. Dur Muhurtam on a Wednesday is the 8th, 11:41–12:23: it takes the 8th, the middle one, so a Wednesday has no Abhijit.
Which choghadiya is good on Wed 12 May?
06:44–08:03 is Labha, ruled by Budha (Mercury), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight, counted good.
Daylight here, 06:44 to 17:21, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 19 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.
The night here, 17:21 to 06:44 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 40 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 12 May? 12:02–13:22
Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 5th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 12:02–13:22.
When is Yamagandam on Wed 12 May? 08:03–09:23
Yamaganda is the 2nd of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 08:03–09:23.
When is Gulika Kalam on Wed 12 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 06:44 to 17:21, 10 h 37 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 19 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.
Sunrise and sunset
What time is sunrise on Wed 12 May? 06:44
Day here: sunrise 06:44, sunset 17:21, 10 h 37 m of daylight.
What time is sunset on Wed 12 May? 17:21
Day here: sunrise 06:44, sunset 17:21, 10 h 37 m of daylight.
Sunrise and sunset are computed for this place. Daylight lasts 10 h 37 m and the night until the next sunrise 13 h 23 m; every window and choghadiya is cut from these two lengths.

Which nakshatra is it on Wed 12 May? Pushya
At sunrise the Moon was at 103.9°: Pushya, pada 4.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Pushya spans 93°20′–106°40′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 103°20′. It leaves at 11:26, for Ashlesha.
Which yoga is it on Wed 12 May? Ganda
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 130.9°: Ganda.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 27° + 103.9° = 130.9°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 120°00′–133°20′ is the 10th, Ganda. It ends at 10:34, then Vriddhi.
Which karana is it on Wed 12 May? Garaja
At sunrise the lead was 76.9°: the first half of Saptami, Garaja.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Saptami is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja runs until 08:47, when the lead reaches 78°; Vanija until 19:43.
Which vara is Wed 12 May, and from when? Budhawara
This day began at sunrise, 06:44 on Wednesday: Budhawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:44 to 06:44 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.
Which Hindu month is Wed 12 May in (amanta)? Vaishakha
This month began at the new moon of 6 May, 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, 4 Jun, finds it in Vrishabha and begins Jyeshtha.
Which Hindu month is Wed 12 May in (purnimanta)? Vaishakha
Counted full moon to full moon, this waxing half belongs to Vaishakha.
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 6 May, with the Sun in Mesha, began Vaishakha. This Shukla paksha reads Vaishakha in both counts.
Which samvat year is Wed 12 May in? Vikram 2084 · Shaka 1949
Vikram Samvat 2084 began at the Chaitra new moon of 7 Apr 2027.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 7 Apr 2027, 01:51 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 34.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2084; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1949.
Moonrise and moonset
What time is moonrise on Wed 12 May? 12:27
The Moon rises here at 12:27.
What time is moonset on Wed 12 May? 23:27
The Moon was down at sunrise and rises at 12:27, in this day's daylight; it sets again at 23:27.
