How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Fri 18 Dec? Shukla Navami
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 107°: Shukla Navami.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 96°–108° is the 9th, Shukla Navami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:50 here. Ashtami ended at 09:56 Thu, before it. Navami ends at 09:44, when the lead reaches 108°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 8 Dec, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Fri 18 Dec? 05:46–06:48
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 05:46–06:48.
The night of Thu 17 Dec ran from sunset 16:20 Thu to sunrise 07:50, 15 h 30 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 1 h 2 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas
When is Abhijit Muhurat on Fri 18 Dec? 11:48–12:22
Abhijit is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight, the one around midday: 11:48–12:22.

Dur Muhurtam is the 4th and 9th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 09:32–10:06 and 12:22–12:56.
When is Dur Muhurtam on Fri 18 Dec? 12:22–12:56
Dur Muhurtam is the 4th and 9th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 09:32–10:06 and 12:22–12:56.
Daylight here, 07:50 to 16:20, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 34 m. Abhijit is the 8th, the middle one. Dur Muhurtam on a Friday is the 4th and 9th, 09:32–10:06 and 12:22–12:56.
Which choghadiya is good on Fri 18 Dec?
07:50–08:54 is Chara, ruled by Shukra (Venus), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Friday's daylight, counted neutral.
Daylight here, 07:50 to 16:20, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 3 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.
The night here, 16:20 to 07:51 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 56 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

Daylight here runs 07:50 to 16:20, 8 h 30 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 3 m, it gives the day's windows by weekday: on a Friday Rahu Kaal is the 4th part, Yamaganda the 7th and Gulikai Kalam the 2nd.

Which nakshatra is it on Fri 18 Dec? Revati
At sunrise the Moon was at 349.5°: Revati, pada 1.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Revati spans 346°40′–360°00′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 346°40′. It leaves at 02:28 Sat, for Ashwini.
Which yoga is it on Fri 18 Dec? Variyana
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 592°, one turn and 232°: Variyana.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 242.5° + 349.5° = 592°, one full turn and 232°. 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 21:05, then Parigha.
Which karana is it on Fri 18 Dec? Kaulava
At sunrise the lead was 107°: the second half of Navami, Kaulava.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Navami is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava ended at 21:57 Thu, when the lead reached 102°; Kaulava runs until 09:44.
Which vara is Fri 18 Dec, and from when? Shukrawara
This day began at sunrise, 07:50 on Friday: Shukrawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:50 to 07:51 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.
Which Hindu month is Fri 18 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 Fri 18 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 Fri 18 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, 18:23 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 268.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
