How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Wed 1 May? Krishna Dashami
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 289.5°: Krishna Dashami.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 288°–300° is the 25th, Krishna Dashami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 04:59 here. Navami ended at 01:44, before it. Dashami ends at 04:11 Thu, when the lead reaches 300°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 22 Apr, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Wed 1 May? 03:38–04:19
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 03:38–04:19.
The night of Tue 30 Apr ran from sunset 18:54 Tue to sunrise 04:59, 10 h 5 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 40 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas
When is Dur Muhurtam on Wed 1 May? 11:29–12:25
Dur Muhurtam is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 11:29–12:25.
Daylight here, 04:59 to 18:55, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 55 m. Dur Muhurtam on a Wednesday is the 8th, 11:29–12:25: it takes the 8th, the middle one, so a Wednesday has no Abhijit.
Which choghadiya is good on Wed 1 May?
04:59–06:44 is Labha, ruled by Budha (Mercury), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight, counted good.
Daylight here, 04:59 to 18:55, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 44 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.
The night here, 18:55 to 04:58 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 15 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 1 May? 11:57–13:41
Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 5th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 11:57–13:41.
When is Yamagandam on Wed 1 May? 06:44–08:28
Yamaganda is the 2nd of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 06:44–08:28.
When is Gulika Kalam on Wed 1 May? 10:12–11:57
Gulikai Kalam is the 4th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 10:12–11:57.
Daylight here runs 04:59 to 18:55, 13 h 56 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 44 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 1 May? 04:59
Day here: sunrise 04:59, sunset 18:55, 13 h 56 m of daylight.
What time is sunset on Wed 1 May? 18:55
Day here: sunrise 04:59, sunset 18:55, 13 h 56 m of daylight.
Sunrise and sunset are computed for this place. Daylight lasts 13 h 56 m and the night until the next sunrise 10 h 3 m; every window and choghadiya is cut from these two lengths.

Which nakshatra is it on Wed 1 May? Shatabhisha
At sunrise the Moon was at 307°: Shatabhisha, pada 1.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Shatabhisha spans 306°40′–320°00′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 306°40′. It leaves at 07:19 Thu, for Purva Bhadrapada.
Which yoga is it on Wed 1 May? Brahma
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 324.5°: Brahma.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 17.5° + 307° = 324.5°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 320°00′–333°20′ is the 25th, Brahma. It ends at 21:27, then Indra.
Which karana is it on Wed 1 May? Vanija
At sunrise the lead was 289.5°: the first half of Dashami, Vanija.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dashami is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija runs until 14:55, when the lead reaches 294°; Vishti until 04:11 Thu.
Which vara is Wed 1 May, and from when? Budhawara
This day began at sunrise, 04:59 on Wednesday: Budhawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 04:59 to 04:58 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.
Which Hindu month is Wed 1 May in (amanta)? Chaitra
This month began at the new moon of 7 Apr, with the Sun in Meena: Chaitra.
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: Meena gives Chaitra. The Sun enters Mesha on 13 Apr, inside the month. The next new moon, 7 May, finds it in Mesha and begins Vaishakha.
Which Hindu month is Wed 1 May in (purnimanta)? Vaishakha
Counted full moon to full moon, this waning half already belongs to Vaishakha.
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 7 May, with the Sun in Mesha, begins Vaishakha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Vaishakha here, and Chaitra in the amanta count.
Which samvat year is Wed 1 May in? Vikram 1997 · Shaka 1862
Vikram Samvat 1997 began at the Chaitra new moon of 7 Apr 1940.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 7 Apr 1940, 23:18 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 22.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1997; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1862.
Moonrise and moonset
What time is moonrise on Wed 1 May? 02:20 Thu
The Moon rises here at 02:20 Thu.
What time is moonset on Wed 1 May? 13:19
The Moon was up at sunrise and set at 13:19; it rises again at 02:20 Thu, so this day's moonrise falls in its night.
The Moon was up at sunrise and sets at 13:19, in this day's daylight; it rises again at 02:20 Thu.
