How each value is worked out

Which tithi is on Sat 20 Jan? Shukla Chaturthi

At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 38.8°: Shukla Chaturthi.

Earth at the centre · Sun fixed at the top · Moon moves counter-clockwise · not to scale

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 36°–48° is the 4th, Shukla Chaturthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:44 here. Tritiya ended at 01:41, before it. Chaturthi ends at 03:03 Sun, when the lead reaches 48°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 16 Jan, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

Why does New Delhi read Tritiya?

New Delhi reads Tritiya, Mapleton reads Chaturthi.

Time runs down, the same instant across both columns · each place on its own clock · dashed: tithi changes

What time is Brahma Muhurta on Sat 20 Jan? 05:50–06:47

Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 05:50–06:47.

The night of Fri 19 Jan ran from sunset 17:30 Fri to sunrise 07:44, 14 h 14 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 56 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:44 to 17:31, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 39 m. Abhijit is the 8th, the middle one. Dur Muhurtam on a Saturday is the 1st and 2nd, 07:44–08:23 and 08:23–09:02.

Which choghadiya is good on Sat 20 Jan?

07:44–08:57 is Kala, ruled by Shani (Saturn), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Saturday's daylight, counted bad.

Day above the line, night below · clockwise from sunrise

Daylight here, 07:44 to 17:31, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 13 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:31 to 07:43 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 46 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 20 Jan? 10:10–11:24

Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 3rd of 8 equal parts of Saturday's daylight: 10:10–11:24.

Day above the line, night below · clockwise from sunrise · dashed: Gulikai Kalam 1, Yamaganda 6

Daylight here runs 07:44 to 17:31, 9 h 47 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 13 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.

Sunrise and sunset

What time is sunrise on Sat 20 Jan? 07:44

Day here: sunrise 07:44, sunset 17:31, 9 h 47 m of daylight.

What time is sunset on Sat 20 Jan? 17:31

Day here: sunrise 07:44, sunset 17:31, 9 h 47 m of daylight.

Day above the line, night below · clockwise from sunrise · inner arc: Moon above the horizon

Sunrise and sunset are computed for this place. Daylight lasts 9 h 47 m and the night until the next sunrise 14 h 12 m; every window and choghadiya is cut from these two lengths.

Which nakshatra is it on Sat 20 Jan? Shatabhisha

At sunrise the Moon was at 315.2°: Shatabhisha, pada 3.

Stars fixed · sidereal, Lahiri · 0° at the top, counter-clockwise

The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Shatabhisha spans 306°40′–320°00′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 313°20′. It leaves at 17:00, for Purva Bhadrapada.

Which yoga is it on Sat 20 Jan? Variyana

At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 591.6°, one turn and 231.6°: Variyana.

Stars fixed · sidereal, Lahiri · 0° at the top, counter-clockwise

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 276.4° + 315.2° = 591.6°, one full turn and 231.6°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 226°40′–240°00′ is the 18th, Variyana. It ends at 22:46, then Parigha.

Which karana is it on Sat 20 Jan? Vanija

At sunrise the lead was 38.8°: the first half of Chaturthi, Vanija.

Earth at the centre · Sun fixed at the top · Moon moves counter-clockwise · each 12° tithi halved into karanas · not to scale

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturthi is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija runs until 14:26, when the lead reaches 42°; Vishti until 03:03 Sun.

Which vara is Sat 20 Jan, and from when? Shaniwara

This day began at sunrise, 07:44 on Saturday: Shaniwara.

One turn of the wheel is one vara, sunrise to sunrise · clockwise

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:44 to 07:43 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.

Which Hindu month is Sat 20 Jan in (amanta)? Magha

This month began at the new moon of 16 Jan, with the Sun in Makara: Magha.

Stars fixed · sidereal, Lahiri · ring: the Sun's yearly path in 12 rashis of 30°, numbered from 0° · Sun's path from new moon to new moon

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: Makara gives Magha. The Sun enters Kumbha on 12 Feb, inside the month. The next new moon, 15 Feb, finds it in Kumbha and begins Phalguna.

Which Hindu month is Sat 20 Jan in (purnimanta)? Magha

Counted full moon to full moon, this waxing half belongs to Magha.

Time runs left to right · amanta: new moon to new moon · purnimanta: full moon to full moon

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 16 Jan, with the Sun in Makara, began Magha. This Shukla paksha reads Magha in both counts.

Which samvat year is Sat 20 Jan in? Vikram 2074 · Shaka 1939

Vikram Samvat 2074 began at the Chaitra new moon of 27 Mar 2017.

Stars fixed · sidereal, Lahiri · ring: the Sun's yearly path in 12 rashis of 30°, numbered from 0° · Sun's path since the year began

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 27 Mar 2017, 20:57 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 292.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2074; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1939.

Moonrise and moonset

What time is moonrise on Sat 20 Jan? 09:51

The Moon rises here at 09:51.

What time is moonset on Sat 20 Jan? 21:10

Day above the line, night below · clockwise from sunrise · inner arc: Moon above the horizon
