How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Wed 8 May? Shukla Pratipada
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 6.6°: 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, 04:51 here. Amavasya ended at 15:06 Tue, before it. Pratipada ends at 16:08, when the lead reaches 12°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 7 May, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Wed 8 May? 03:32–04:11
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 03:32–04:11.
The night of Tue 7 May ran from sunset 19:01 Tue to sunrise 04:51, 9 h 50 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 39 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas
When is Dur Muhurtam on Wed 8 May? 11:28–12:25
Dur Muhurtam is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 11:28–12:25.
Daylight here, 04:51 to 19:02, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 56 m. Dur Muhurtam on a Wednesday is the 8th, 11:28–12:25: it takes the 8th, the middle one, so a Wednesday has no Abhijit.
Which choghadiya is good on Wed 8 May?
04:51–06:37 is Labha, ruled by Budha (Mercury), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight, counted good.
Daylight here, 04:51 to 19:02, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 46 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.
The night here, 19:02 to 04:49 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 13 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 8 May? 11:56–13:43
Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 5th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 11:56–13:43.
When is Yamagandam on Wed 8 May? 06:37–08:23
Yamaganda is the 2nd of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 06:37–08:23.
When is Gulika Kalam on Wed 8 May? 10:10–11:56
Gulikai Kalam is the 4th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 10:10–11:56.
Daylight here runs 04:51 to 19:02, 14 h 11 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 46 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 8 May? 04:51
Day here: sunrise 04:51, sunset 19:02, 14 h 11 m of daylight.
What time is sunset on Wed 8 May? 19:02
Day here: sunrise 04:51, sunset 19:02, 14 h 11 m of daylight.

Which nakshatra is it on Wed 8 May? Krittika
At sunrise the Moon was at 30.9°: Krittika, pada 2.
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 2 at 30°. It leaves at 22:18, for Rohini.
Which yoga is it on Wed 8 May? Shobhana
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 55.2°: Shobhana.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 24.3° + 30.9° = 55.2°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 53°20′–66°40′ is the 5th, Shobhana. It ends at 01:14 Thu, then Atiganda.
Which karana is it on Wed 8 May? Bava
At sunrise the lead was 6.6°: the second half of Pratipada, Bava.
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 ended at 03:41, when the lead reached 6°; Bava runs until 16:08.
Which vara is Wed 8 May, and from when? Budhawara
This day began at sunrise, 04:51 on Wednesday: Budhawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 04:51 to 04:49 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.
Which Hindu month is Wed 8 May in (amanta)? Vaishakha
This month began at the new moon of 7 May, with the Sun in Mesha: Vaishakha.
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: Mesha gives Vaishakha. The Sun enters Vrishabha on 14 May, inside the month. The next new moon, 6 Jun, finds it in Vrishabha and begins Jyeshtha.
Which Hindu month is Wed 8 May in (purnimanta)? Vaishakha
Counted full moon to full moon, this waxing half 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, began Vaishakha. This Shukla paksha reads Vaishakha in both counts.
Which samvat year is Wed 8 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 29.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1997; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1862.
