How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Wed 18 Dec? Shukla Dwitiya
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 21.8°: Shukla Dwitiya.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 12°–24° is the 2nd, Shukla Dwitiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:56 here. Pratipada ended at 09:47 Tue, before it. Dwitiya ends at 11:40, when the lead reaches 24°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 16 Dec, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Wed 18 Dec? 05:11–06:03
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 05:11–06:03.
The night of Tue 17 Dec ran from sunset 17:54 Tue to sunrise 06:56, 13 h 2 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 52 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas
When is Dur Muhurtam on Wed 18 Dec? 12:03–12:47
Dur Muhurtam is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 12:03–12:47.
Daylight here, 06:56 to 17:54, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 43 m. Dur Muhurtam on a Wednesday is the 8th, 12:03–12:47: it takes the 8th, the middle one, so a Wednesday has no Abhijit.
Which choghadiya is good on Wed 18 Dec?
06:56–08:18 is Labha, ruled by Budha (Mercury), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight, counted good.
Daylight here, 06:56 to 17:54, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 22 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.
The night here, 17:54 to 06:56 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 37 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 18 Dec? 12:25–13:47
Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 5th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 12:25–13:47.
When is Yamagandam on Wed 18 Dec? 08:18–09:40
Yamaganda is the 2nd of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 08:18–09:40.
When is Gulika Kalam on Wed 18 Dec? 11:03–12:25
Gulikai Kalam is the 4th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 11:03–12:25.
Daylight here runs 06:56 to 17:54, 10 h 58 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 22 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.

What time is sunrise on Wed 18 Dec? 06:56
Day here: sunrise 06:56, sunset 17:54, 10 h 58 m of daylight.
What time is sunset on Wed 18 Dec? 17:54
Day here: sunrise 06:56, sunset 17:54, 10 h 58 m of daylight.

Which nakshatra is it on Wed 18 Dec? Purva Ashadha
At sunrise the Moon was at 263.8°: Purva Ashadha, pada 4.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Purva Ashadha spans 253°20′–266°40′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 263°20′. It leaves at 12:30, for Uttara Ashadha.
Which yoga is it on Wed 18 Dec? Vriddhi
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 505.8°, one turn and 145.8°: Vriddhi.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 242° + 263.8° = 505.8°, one full turn and 145.8°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 133°20′–146°40′ is the 11th, Vriddhi. It ends at 08:22, then Dhruva.
Which karana is it on Wed 18 Dec? Kaulava
At sunrise the lead was 21.8°: the second half of Dwitiya, Kaulava.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwitiya is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava ended at 22:46 Tue, when the lead reached 18°; Kaulava runs until 11:40.
Which vara is Wed 18 Dec, and from when? Budhawara
This day began at sunrise, 06:56 on Wednesday: Budhawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:56 to 06:56 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.
Which Hindu month is Wed 18 Dec in (amanta)? Pausha
This month began at the new moon of 16 Dec, with the Sun in Dhanu: Pausha.
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: Dhanu gives Pausha. The Sun enters Makara on 14 Jan, inside the month. The next new moon, 15 Jan, finds it in Makara and begins Magha.
Which Hindu month is Wed 18 Dec in (purnimanta)? Pausha
Counted full moon to full moon, this waxing half belongs to Pausha.
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 Dec, with the Sun in Dhanu, began Pausha. This Shukla paksha reads Pausha in both counts.
Which samvat year is Wed 18 Dec in? Vikram 2020 · Shaka 1885
Vikram Samvat 2020 began at the Chaitra new moon of 25 Mar 1963.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 25 Mar 1963, 17:39 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 261.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2020; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1885.

What time is moonrise on Wed 18 Dec? 08:37
