How each value is worked out
Why is Gita Jayanti on Sun 20 Dec in Olean?
Gita Jayanti is on Sun 20 Dec: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day.
Gita Jayanti follows the tithi at sunrise. Ekadashi runs from 11:39 on Sat 19 Dec to 09:45 on Sun 20 Dec, so it holds sunrise only on Sun 20 Dec, at 07:38. No text giving Gita Jayanti’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
Why is Mokshada Ekadashi on Sun 20 Dec in Olean?
Mokshada Ekadashi is on Sun 20 Dec: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Sun 20 Dec only, at 07:38: Sun 20 Dec. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 11:39 Sat, before it (06:02–07:38).
Which tithi is on Sun 20 Dec? Shukla Ekadashi
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 130.8°: Shukla Ekadashi.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 120°–132° is the 11th, Shukla Ekadashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:38 here. Dashami ended at 11:39 Sat, before it. Ekadashi ends at 09:45, when the lead reaches 132°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 8 Dec, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
Why is Dwadashi skipped here?
Dwadashi began after one sunrise and ended before the next, so no day here reads Dwadashi.
A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dwadashi began at 09:45 and ended at 07:06 Mon, between the sunrises of 07:38 and 07:38 Mon. Sunday reads Ekadashi and Monday reads Trayodashi: Dwadashi is a kshaya tithi here.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Sun 20 Dec? 05:38–06:38
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 05:38–06:38.
The night of Sat 19 Dec ran from sunset 16:44 Sat to sunrise 07:38, 14 h 54 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 59 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Which nakshatra is it on Sun 20 Dec? Bharani
At sunrise the Moon was at 15.2°: Bharani, pada 1.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Bharani spans 13°20′–26°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 13°20′. It leaves at 02:39 Mon, for Krittika.
Which yoga is it on Sun 20 Dec? Shiva
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 259.6°: Shiva.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 244.4° + 15.2° = 259.6°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 253°20′–266°40′ is the 20th, Shiva. It ends at 18:37, then Siddha.
Which karana is it on Sun 20 Dec? Vishti
At sunrise the lead was 130.8°: the second half of Ekadashi, Vishti.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Ekadashi is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija ended at 22:48 Sat, when the lead reached 126°; Vishti runs until 09:45.
Which vara is Sun 20 Dec, and from when? Raviwara
This day began at sunrise, 07:38 on Sunday: Raviwara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:38 to 07:38 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.
Which Hindu month is Sun 20 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 Sun 20 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 Sun 20 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 270.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
