How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Wed 6 Jan? Krishna Dwadashi
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 318.4°: 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, 07:48 here. Ekadashi ended at 18:24 Tue, before it. Dwadashi ends at 19:24, when the lead reaches 324°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 25 Dec, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Wed 6 Jan? 05:52–06:50
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 05:52–06:50.
The night of Tue 5 Jan ran from sunset 17:14 Tue to sunrise 07:48, 14 h 34 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 58 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas
When is Dur Muhurtam on Wed 6 Jan? 12:13–12:51
Dur Muhurtam is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 12:13–12:51.
Daylight here, 07:48 to 17:15, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 37 m. Dur Muhurtam on a Wednesday is the 8th, 12:13–12:51: it takes the 8th, the middle one, so a Wednesday has no Abhijit.
Which choghadiya is good on Wed 6 Jan?
07:48–08:59 is Labha, ruled by Budha (Mercury), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight, counted good.
Daylight here, 07:48 to 17:15, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 10 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.
The night here, 17:15 to 07:48 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 49 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 Jan? 12:32–13:43
Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 5th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 12:32–13:43.
When is Yamagandam on Wed 6 Jan? 08:59–10:10
Yamaganda is the 2nd of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 08:59–10:10.
When is Gulika Kalam on Wed 6 Jan? 11:21–12:32
Gulikai Kalam is the 4th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 11:21–12:32.
Daylight here runs 07:48 to 17:15, 9 h 27 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 10 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 6 Jan? 07:48
Day here: sunrise 07:48, sunset 17:15, 9 h 27 m of daylight.
What time is sunset on Wed 6 Jan? 17:15
Day here: sunrise 07:48, sunset 17:15, 9 h 27 m of daylight.
Sunrise and sunset are computed for this place. Daylight lasts 9 h 27 m and the night until the next sunrise 14 h 33 m; every window and choghadiya is cut from these two lengths.

Which nakshatra is it on Wed 6 Jan? Anuradha
At sunrise the Moon was at 220°: Anuradha, pada 3.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Anuradha spans 213°20′–226°40′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 220°. It leaves at 20:26, for Jyeshtha.
Which yoga is it on Wed 6 Jan? Ganda
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 481.6°, one turn and 121.6°: Ganda.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 261.6° + 220° = 481.6°, one full turn and 121.6°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 120°00′–133°20′ is the 10th, Ganda. It ends at 04:16 Thu, then Vriddhi.
Which karana is it on Wed 6 Jan? Taitila
At sunrise the lead was 318.4°: the second half of Dwadashi, Taitila.
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 ended at 06:59, when the lead reached 318°; Taitila runs until 19:24.
Which vara is Wed 6 Jan, and from when? Budhawara
This day began at sunrise, 07:48 on Wednesday: Budhawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:48 to 07:48 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.
Which Hindu month is Wed 6 Jan in (amanta)? Margashirsha
This month began at the new moon of 11 Dec, with the Sun in Vrishchika: Margashirsha.
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: Vrishchika gives Margashirsha. The Sun enters Dhanu on 16 Dec, inside the month. The next new moon, 9 Jan, finds it in Dhanu and begins Pausha.
Which Hindu month is Wed 6 Jan in (purnimanta)? Pausha
Counted full moon to full moon, this waning half already 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 9 Jan, with the Sun in Dhanu, begins Pausha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Pausha here, and Margashirsha in the amanta count.
Which samvat year is Wed 6 Jan in? Vikram 2072 · Shaka 1937
Vikram Samvat 2072 began at the Chaitra new moon of 20 Mar 2015.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 20 Mar 2015, 03:36 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 286.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2072; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1937.
Moonrise and moonset
What time is moonrise on Wed 6 Jan? 05:22 Thu
The Moon rises here at 05:22 Thu.
What time is moonset on Wed 6 Jan? 14:50
The Moon was up at sunrise and set at 14:50; it rises again at 05:22 Thu, so this day's moonrise falls in its night.
The Moon was up at sunrise and sets at 14:50, in this day's daylight; it rises again at 05:22 Thu.
