How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Wed 20 Jan? Shukla Dwadashi
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 137.5°: Shukla Dwadashi.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 132°–144° is the 12th, Shukla Dwadashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:28 here. Ekadashi ended at 21:13 Tue, before it. Dwadashi ends at 19:50, when the lead reaches 144°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 9 Jan, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
Why does New Delhi read Ekadashi?
New Delhi reads Ekadashi, Pendleton reads Dwadashi.

What time is Brahma Muhurta on Wed 20 Jan? 05:30–06:29
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 05:30–06:29.
The night of Tue 19 Jan ran from sunset 16:42 Tue to sunrise 07:28, 14 h 46 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 59 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas
When is Dur Muhurtam on Wed 20 Jan? 11:47–12:24
Dur Muhurtam is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 11:47–12:24.
Daylight here, 07:28 to 16:43, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 37 m. Dur Muhurtam on a Wednesday is the 8th, 11:47–12:24: it takes the 8th, the middle one, so a Wednesday has no Abhijit.
Which choghadiya is good on Wed 20 Jan?
07:28–08:38 is Labha, ruled by Budha (Mercury), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight, counted good.
Daylight here, 07:28 to 16:43, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 9 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.
The night here, 16:43 to 07:28 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 20 Jan? 12:06–13:15
Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 5th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 12:06–13:15.
When is Yamagandam on Wed 20 Jan? 08:38–09:47
Yamaganda is the 2nd of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 08:38–09:47.
When is Gulika Kalam on Wed 20 Jan? 10:57–12:06
Gulikai Kalam is the 4th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 10:57–12:06.
Daylight here runs 07:28 to 16:43, 9 h 15 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 9 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.

Day here: sunrise 07:28, sunset 16:43, 9 h 15 m of daylight.

Which nakshatra is it on Wed 20 Jan? Mrigashira
At sunrise the Moon was at 53.4°: Mrigashira, pada 1.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Mrigashira spans 53°20′–66°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 53°20′. It leaves at 06:47 Thu, for Ardra.
Which yoga is it on Wed 20 Jan? Brahma
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 329.3°: Brahma.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 275.9° + 53.4° = 329.3°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 320°00′–333°20′ is the 25th, Brahma. It ends at 14:02, then Indra.
Which karana is it on Wed 20 Jan? Bava
At sunrise the lead was 137.5°: the first half of Dwadashi, Bava.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwadashi is Bava and the second Balava. Bava runs until 08:29, when the lead reaches 138°; Balava until 19:50.
Which vara is Wed 20 Jan, and from when? Budhawara
This day began at sunrise, 07:28 on Wednesday: Budhawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:28 to 07:28 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.
Which Hindu month is Wed 20 Jan in (amanta)? Pausha
This month began at the new moon of 9 Jan, 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, 8 Feb, finds it in Makara and begins Magha.
Which Hindu month is Wed 20 Jan 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 9 Jan, with the Sun in Dhanu, began Pausha. This Shukla paksha reads Pausha in both counts.
Which samvat year is Wed 20 Jan in? Vikram 2072 · Shaka 1937
Vikram Samvat 2072 began at the Chaitra new moon of 20 Mar 2015.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 20 Mar 2015, 02:36 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 300.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2072; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1937.

What time is moonrise on Wed 20 Jan? 14:02
