How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Thu 17 Dec? Shukla Ashtami
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 93.4°: Shukla Ashtami.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 84°–96° is the 8th, Shukla Ashtami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:36 here. Saptami ended at 12:16 Wed, before it. Ashtami ends at 12:56, when the lead reaches 96°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 8 Dec, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Thu 17 Dec? 05:37–06:36
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 05:37–06:36.
The night of Wed 16 Dec ran from sunset 16:42 Wed to sunrise 07:36, 14 h 54 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 59 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

When is Dur Muhurtam on Thu 17 Dec? 14:17–14:53

Daylight here, 07:36 to 16:43, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 36 m. Abhijit is the 8th, the middle one. Dur Muhurtam on a Thursday is the 6th and 12th, 10:38–11:15 and 14:17–14:53.
Which choghadiya is good on Thu 17 Dec?
07:36–08:44 is Shubha, ruled by Guru (Jupiter), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Thursday's daylight, counted good.

The night here, 16:43 to 07:36 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 51 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

Which nakshatra is it on Thu 17 Dec? Uttara Bhadrapada
At sunrise the Moon was at 334.7°: Uttara Bhadrapada, pada 1.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Uttara Bhadrapada spans 333°20′–346°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 333°20′. It leaves at 05:40 Fri, for Revati.
Which yoga is it on Thu 17 Dec? Vyatipata
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 576°, one turn and 216°: Vyatipata.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 241.3° + 334.7° = 576°, one full turn and 216°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 213°20′–226°40′ is the 17th, Vyatipata. It ends at 01:49 Fri, then Variyana.
Which karana is it on Thu 17 Dec? Bava
At sunrise the lead was 93.4°: the second half of Ashtami, Bava.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Ashtami is Vishti and the second Bava. Vishti ended at 00:42, when the lead reached 90°; Bava runs until 12:56.
Which vara is Thu 17 Dec, and from when? Guruwara
This day began at sunrise, 07:36 on Thursday: Guruwara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:36 to 07:36 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.
Which Hindu month is Thu 17 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 Thu 17 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 Thu 17 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, 21:23 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 267.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
