How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Sun 17 May? Shukla Pratipada
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 3.9°: Shukla Pratipada.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 0°–12° is the 1st, Shukla Pratipada. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:35 here. Amavasya ended at 23:01 Sat, before it. Pratipada ends at 19:11, when the lead reaches 12°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 16 May, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Sun 17 May? 04:18–04:57
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 04:18–04:57.
The night of Sat 16 May ran from sunset 19:59 Sat to sunrise 05:35, 9 h 36 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 38 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas
When is Abhijit Muhurat on Sun 17 May? 12:19–13:17
Abhijit is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight, the one around midday: 12:19–13:17.
When is Dur Muhurtam on Sun 17 May? 18:05–19:03
Dur Muhurtam is the 14th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 18:05–19:03.
Daylight here, 05:35 to 20:00, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 57 m. Abhijit is the 8th, the middle one. Dur Muhurtam on a Sunday is the 14th, 18:05–19:03.
Which choghadiya is good on Sun 17 May?
05:35–07:23 is Udvega, ruled by Surya (the Sun), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Sunday's daylight, counted bad.
Daylight here, 05:35 to 20:00, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 48 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.
The night here, 20:00 to 05:34 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 11 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 Sun 17 May? 18:12–20:00
Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 8th of 8 equal parts of Sunday's daylight: 18:12–20:00.
When is Yamagandam on Sun 17 May? 12:48–14:36
Yamaganda is the 5th of 8 equal parts of Sunday's daylight: 12:48–14:36.
When is Gulika Kalam on Sun 17 May? 16:24–18:12
Gulikai Kalam is the 7th of 8 equal parts of Sunday's daylight: 16:24–18:12.
Daylight here runs 05:35 to 20:00, 14 h 25 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 48 m, it gives the day's windows by weekday: on a Sunday Rahu Kaal is the 8th part, Yamaganda the 5th and Gulikai Kalam the 7th.

What time is sunrise on Sun 17 May? 05:35
Day here: sunrise 05:35, sunset 20:00, 14 h 25 m of daylight.
What time is sunset on Sun 17 May? 20:00
Day here: sunrise 05:35, sunset 20:00, 14 h 25 m of daylight.

Which nakshatra is it on Sun 17 May? Krittika
At sunrise the Moon was at 35.9°: Krittika, pada 3.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Krittika spans 26°40′–40°00′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 33°20′. It leaves at 12:02, for Rohini.
Which yoga is it on Sun 17 May? Atiganda
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 67.9°: Atiganda.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 32° + 35.9° = 67.9°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 66°40′–80°00′ is the 6th, Atiganda. It ends at 23:29, then Sukarma.
Which karana is it on Sun 17 May? Kinstughna
At sunrise the lead was 3.9°: the first half of Pratipada, Kinstughna.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Pratipada is Kinstughna and the second Bava. Kinstughna runs until 09:06, when the lead reaches 6°; Bava until 19:11.
Which vara is Sun 17 May, and from when? Raviwara
This day began at sunrise, 05:35 on Sunday: Raviwara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:35 to 05:34 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.
Which Hindu month is Sun 17 May in (amanta)? Jyeshtha (Adhik)
No sankranti between the new moons of 16 May and 15 Jun: Adhika Jyeshtha.
A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 16 May 23:01 Sat to 15 Jun 05:54 Mon the Sun stayed in Vrishabha, entering Mithuna at 15 Jun 10:22 Mon, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Jyeshtha, before Jyeshtha itself.
Which Hindu month is Sun 17 May in (purnimanta)? Jyeshtha (Adhik)
Counted full moon to full moon, this waxing half belongs to Jyeshtha (Adhik).
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 May, with the Sun in Vrishabha, began Jyeshtha (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Jyeshtha (Adhik) in both counts.
Which samvat year is Sun 17 May in? Vikram 2083 · Shaka 1948
Vikram Samvat 2083 began at the Chaitra new moon of 19 Mar 2026.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 19 Mar 2026, 04:23 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 57.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
