How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Wed 17 Jan? Shukla Saptami
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 83.6°: Shukla Saptami.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 72°–84° is the 7th, Shukla Saptami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:21 here. Shashthi ended at 05:48 Tue, before it. Saptami ends at 08:16, when the lead reaches 84°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 9 Jan, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
Why does Saptami hold two sunrises?
Saptami holds the sunrises of both Tue 16 and Wed 17 Jan here.
A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Saptami began at 05:48 Tue, before sunrise at 07:21 Tue, and ends at 08:16, after the next sunrise at 07:21. Both days read Saptami: it is a vriddhi tithi here.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Wed 17 Jan? 05:26–06:23
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 05:26–06:23.
The night of Tue 16 Jan ran from sunset 16:57 Tue to sunrise 07:21, 14 h 24 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 57 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas
When is Dur Muhurtam on Wed 17 Jan? 11:50–12:29
Dur Muhurtam is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 11:50–12:29.
Daylight here, 07:21 to 16:58, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 38 m. Dur Muhurtam on a Wednesday is the 8th, 11:50–12:29: it takes the 8th, the middle one, so a Wednesday has no Abhijit.
Which choghadiya is good on Wed 17 Jan?
07:21–08:33 is Labha, ruled by Budha (Mercury), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight, counted good.
Daylight here, 07:21 to 16:58, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 12 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.
The night here, 16:58 to 07:20 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 47 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 17 Jan? 12:10–13:22
Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 5th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 12:10–13:22.
When is Yamagandam on Wed 17 Jan? 08:33–09:45
Yamaganda is the 2nd of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 08:33–09:45.
When is Gulika Kalam on Wed 17 Jan? 10:57–12:10
Gulikai Kalam is the 4th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 10:57–12:10.
Daylight here runs 07:21 to 16:58, 9 h 37 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 12 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.
Sunrise and sunset
What time is sunrise on Wed 17 Jan? 07:21
Day here: sunrise 07:21, sunset 16:58, 9 h 37 m of daylight.
What time is sunset on Wed 17 Jan? 16:58
Day here: sunrise 07:21, sunset 16:58, 9 h 37 m of daylight.
Sunrise and sunset are computed for this place. Daylight lasts 9 h 37 m and the night until the next sunrise 14 h 22 m; every window and choghadiya is cut from these two lengths.

Which nakshatra is it on Wed 17 Jan? Revati
At sunrise the Moon was at 356.5°: Revati, pada 3.
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 3 at 353°20′. It leaves at 14:24, for Ashwini.
Which yoga is it on Wed 17 Jan? Siddha
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 629.4°, one turn and 269.4°: Siddha.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 272.9° + 356.5° = 629.4°, one full turn and 269.4°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 266°40′–280°00′ is the 21st, Siddha. It ends at 02:52 Thu, then Sadhya.
Which karana is it on Wed 17 Jan? Vanija
At sunrise the lead was 83.6°: the second half of Saptami, Vanija.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Saptami is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja ended at 19:05 Tue, when the lead reached 78°; Vanija runs until 08:16.
Which vara is Wed 17 Jan, and from when? Budhawara
This day began at sunrise, 07:21 on Wednesday: Budhawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:21 to 07:20 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.
Which Hindu month is Wed 17 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 17 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 17 Jan in? Vikram 1996 · Shaka 1861
Vikram Samvat 1996 began at the Chaitra new moon of 21 Mar 1939.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 21 Mar 1939, 04:49 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 296.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1996; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1861.

What time is moonrise on Wed 17 Jan? 11:07
The Moon rises here at 11:07.
What time is moonset on Wed 17 Jan? 00:36 Thu
