How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Wed 16 Dec? Shukla Saptami
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 82.8°: 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, 07:42 here. Shashthi ended at 08:49 Tue, before it. Saptami ends at 10:16, when the lead reaches 84°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 8 Dec, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Wed 16 Dec? 05:44–06:43
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 05:44–06:43.
The night of Tue 15 Dec ran from sunset 17:01 Tue to sunrise 07:42, 14 h 41 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 16 Dec? 12:03–12:40
Dur Muhurtam is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 12:03–12:40.
Daylight here, 07:42 to 17:02, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 37 m. Dur Muhurtam on a Wednesday is the 8th, 12:03–12:40: it takes the 8th, the middle one, so a Wednesday has no Abhijit.
Which choghadiya is good on Wed 16 Dec?
07:42–08:52 is Labha, ruled by Budha (Mercury), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight, counted good.
Daylight here, 07:42 to 17:02, 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, 17:02 to 07:42 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 50 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 16 Dec? 12:22–13:32
Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 5th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 12:22–13:32.
When is Yamagandam on Wed 16 Dec? 08:52–10:02
Yamaganda is the 2nd of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 08:52–10:02.
When is Gulika Kalam on Wed 16 Dec? 11:12–12:22
Gulikai Kalam is the 4th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 11:12–12:22.
Daylight here runs 07:42 to 17:02, 9 h 20 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 16 Dec? 07:42
Day here: sunrise 07:42, sunset 17:02, 9 h 20 m of daylight.
What time is sunset on Wed 16 Dec? 17:02
Day here: sunrise 07:42, sunset 17:02, 9 h 20 m of daylight.
Sunrise and sunset are computed for this place. Daylight lasts 9 h 20 m and the night until the next sunrise 14 h 40 m; every window and choghadiya is cut from these two lengths.

Which nakshatra is it on Wed 16 Dec? Purva Bhadrapada
At sunrise the Moon was at 323.2°: Purva Bhadrapada, pada 1.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Purva Bhadrapada spans 320°00′–333°20′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 320°. It leaves at 03:00 Thu, for Uttara Bhadrapada.
Which yoga is it on Wed 16 Dec? Siddhi
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 563.6°, one turn and 203.6°: Siddhi.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 240.4° + 323.2° = 563.6°, one full turn and 203.6°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 200°00′–213°20′ is the 16th, Siddhi. It ends at 00:51 Thu, then Vyatipata.
Which karana is it on Wed 16 Dec? Vanija
At sunrise the lead was 82.8°: the second half of Saptami, Vanija.
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 ended at 21:38 Tue, when the lead reached 78°; Vanija runs until 10:16.
Which vara is Wed 16 Dec, and from when? Budhawara
This day began at sunrise, 07:42 on Wednesday: Budhawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:42 to 07:42 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.
Which Hindu month is Wed 16 Dec in (amanta)? Margashirsha
This month began at the new moon of 8 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 15 Dec, inside the month. The next new moon, 7 Jan, finds it in Dhanu and begins Pausha.
Which Hindu month is Wed 16 Dec in (purnimanta)? Margashirsha
Counted full moon to full moon, this waxing half belongs to Margashirsha.
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 8 Dec, with the Sun in Vrishchika, began Margashirsha. This Shukla paksha reads Margashirsha in both counts.
Which samvat year is Wed 16 Dec in? Vikram 2083 · Shaka 1948
Vikram Samvat 2083 began at the Chaitra new moon of 18 Mar 2026.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 18 Mar 2026, 19:23 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 266.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
Moonrise and moonset
What time is moonrise on Wed 16 Dec? 12:10
The Moon rises here at 12:10.
What time is moonset on Wed 16 Dec? 00:27 Thu
The Moon was down at sunrise and rises at 12:10, in this day's daylight; it sets again at 00:27 Thu.
