How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Wed 9 Dec? Shukla Pratipada
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 1.1°: 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, 06:10 here. Amavasya ended at 03:51, before it. Pratipada ends at 06:16 Thu, when the lead reaches 12°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 9 Dec, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
Why does Pratipada hold two sunrises?
Pratipada holds the sunrises of both Wed 9 and Thu 10 Dec here.
A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Pratipada began at 03:51, before sunrise at 06:10, and ends at 06:16 Thu, after the next sunrise at 06:11 Thu. Both days read Pratipada: it is a vriddhi tithi here.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Wed 9 Dec? 04:37–05:24
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 04:37–05:24.
The night of Tue 8 Dec ran from sunset 18:31 Tue to sunrise 06:10, 11 h 39 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 46 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas
When is Dur Muhurtam on Wed 9 Dec? 11:56–12:46
Dur Muhurtam is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 11:56–12:46.
Daylight here, 06:10 to 18:32, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 49 m. Dur Muhurtam on a Wednesday is the 8th, 11:56–12:46: it takes the 8th, the middle one, so a Wednesday has no Abhijit.
Which choghadiya is good on Wed 9 Dec?
06:10–07:43 is Labha, ruled by Budha (Mercury), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight, counted good.
Daylight here, 06:10 to 18:32, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 32 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.
The night here, 18:32 to 06:11 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 27 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 9 Dec? 12:21–13:54
Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 5th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 12:21–13:54.
When is Yamagandam on Wed 9 Dec? 07:43–09:16
Yamaganda is the 2nd of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 07:43–09:16.
When is Gulika Kalam on Wed 9 Dec? 10:48–12:21
Gulikai Kalam is the 4th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 10:48–12:21.
Daylight here runs 06:10 to 18:32, 12 h 22 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 32 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 06:10, sunset 18:32, 12 h 22 m of daylight.
What time is sunset on Wed 9 Dec? 18:32
Day here: sunrise 06:10, sunset 18:32, 12 h 22 m of daylight.

Which nakshatra is it on Wed 9 Dec? Jyeshtha
At sunrise the Moon was at 233.9°: Jyeshtha, pada 3.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Jyeshtha spans 226°40′–240°00′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 233°20′. It leaves at 18:30, for Mula.
Which yoga is it on Wed 9 Dec? Shula
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 466.7°, one turn and 106.7°: Shula.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 232.8° + 233.9° = 466.7°, one full turn and 106.7°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 106°40′–120°00′ is the 9th, Shula. It ends at 06:54 Thu, then Ganda.
Which karana is it on Wed 9 Dec? Kinstughna
At sunrise the lead was 1.1°: 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 17:02, when the lead reaches 6°; Bava until 06:16 Thu.
Which vara is Wed 9 Dec, and from when? Budhawara
This day began at sunrise, 06:10 on Wednesday: Budhawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:10 to 06:11 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.
Which Hindu month is Wed 9 Dec in (amanta)? Margashirsha
This month began at the new moon of 9 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 16 Dec, inside the month. The next new moon, 7 Jan, finds it in Dhanu and begins Pausha.
Which Hindu month is Wed 9 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 9 Dec, with the Sun in Vrishchika, began Margashirsha. This Shukla paksha reads Margashirsha in both counts.
Which samvat year is Wed 9 Dec 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 258.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
