How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Wed 20 Feb? Krishna Dashami
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 288.2°: 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, 06:48 here. Navami ended at 06:26, before it. Dashami ends at 04:03 Thu, when the lead reaches 300°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 11 Feb, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.
Why does New Delhi read Navami?
New Delhi reads Navami, Sevan reads Dashami.
A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.
New Delhi · IST
Sunrise here, 06:56, came before Navami ended at 08:56: this day reads Navami. Dashami ends at 06:33 Thu, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Dashami: it is kshaya.
Sevan · UTC+3
Sunrise here, 06:48, came after Navami ended at 06:26: this day reads Dashami.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Wed 20 Feb? 05:03–05:56
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 05:03–05:56.
The night of Tue 19 Feb ran from sunset 17:38 Tue to sunrise 06:48, 13 h 10 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 52 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas
When is Dur Muhurtam on Wed 20 Feb? 11:52–12:35
Dur Muhurtam is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 11:52–12:35.
Daylight here, 06:48 to 17:39, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 43 m. Dur Muhurtam on a Wednesday is the 8th, 11:52–12:35: it takes the 8th, the middle one, so a Wednesday has no Abhijit.
Which choghadiya is good on Wed 20 Feb?
06:48–08:10 is Labha, ruled by Budha (Mercury), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight, counted good.
Daylight here, 06:48 to 17:39, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 21 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.
The night here, 17:39 to 06:47 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 38 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 20 Feb? 12:14–13:35
Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 5th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 12:14–13:35.
When is Yamagandam on Wed 20 Feb? 08:10–09:31
Yamaganda is the 2nd of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 08:10–09:31.
When is Gulika Kalam on Wed 20 Feb? 10:52–12:14
Gulikai Kalam is the 4th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 10:52–12:14.
Daylight here runs 06:48 to 17:39, 10 h 51 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 21 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 20 Feb? 06:48
Day here: sunrise 06:48, sunset 17:39, 10 h 51 m of daylight.
What time is sunset on Wed 20 Feb? 17:39
Day here: sunrise 06:48, sunset 17:39, 10 h 51 m of daylight.

Which nakshatra is it on Wed 20 Feb? Jyeshtha
At sunrise the Moon was at 235.5°: 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 14:26, for Mula.
Which yoga is it on Wed 20 Feb? Harshana
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 542.8°, one turn and 182.8°: Harshana.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 307.3° + 235.5° = 542.8°, one full turn and 182.8°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 173°20′–186°40′ is the 14th, Harshana. It ends at 13:00, then Vajra.
Which karana is it on Wed 20 Feb? Vanija
At sunrise the lead was 288.2°: 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 17:18, when the lead reaches 294°; Vishti until 04:03 Thu.
Which vara is Wed 20 Feb, and from when? Budhawara
This day began at sunrise, 06:48 on Wednesday: Budhawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:48 to 06:47 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.
Which Hindu month is Wed 20 Feb in (amanta)? Magha
This month began at the new moon of 27 Jan, with the Sun in Makara: Magha.
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: Makara gives Magha. The Sun enters Kumbha on 13 Feb, inside the month. The next new moon, 25 Feb, finds it in Kumbha and begins Phalguna.
Which Hindu month is Wed 20 Feb in (purnimanta)? Phalguna
Counted full moon to full moon, this waning half already belongs to Phalguna.
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 25 Feb, with the Sun in Kumbha, begins Phalguna. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Phalguna here, and Magha in the amanta count.
Which samvat year is Wed 20 Feb in? Vikram 2008 · Shaka 1873
Vikram Samvat 2008 began at the Chaitra new moon of 6 Apr 1951.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 6 Apr 1951, 13:51 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 314.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2008; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1873.
Moonrise and moonset
What time is moonrise on Wed 20 Feb? 03:55 Thu
The Moon rises here at 03:55 Thu.
What time is moonset on Wed 20 Feb? 11:34
The Moon was up at sunrise and set at 11:34; it rises again at 03:55 Thu, so this day's moonrise falls in its night.
