How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Wed 12 Dec? Shukla Dashami
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 109°: Shukla Dashami.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 108°–120° is the 10th, Shukla Dashami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:13 here. Navami ended at 05:09, before it. Dashami ends at 05:49 Thu, when the lead reaches 120°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 2 Dec, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla 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, 07:04, came before Navami ended at 07:39: this day reads Navami.
Sevan · UTC+3
Sunrise here, 07:13, came after Navami ended at 05:09: this day reads Dashami.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Wed 12 Dec? 05:16–06:15
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 05:16–06:15.
The night of Tue 11 Dec ran from sunset 16:33 Tue to sunrise 07:13, 14 h 40 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 58 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas
When is Dur Muhurtam on Wed 12 Dec? 11:35–12:12
Dur Muhurtam is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 11:35–12:12.
Daylight here, 07:13 to 16:33, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 37 m. Dur Muhurtam on a Wednesday is the 8th, 11:35–12:12: it takes the 8th, the middle one, so a Wednesday has no Abhijit.
Which choghadiya is good on Wed 12 Dec?
07:13–08:23 is Labha, ruled by Budha (Mercury), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight, counted good.
Daylight here, 07:13 to 16:33, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 10 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.
The night here, 16:33 to 07:14 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 50 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 12 Dec? 11:53–13:03
Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 5th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 11:53–13:03.
When is Yamagandam on Wed 12 Dec? 08:23–09:33
Yamaganda is the 2nd of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 08:23–09:33.
When is Gulika Kalam on Wed 12 Dec? 10:43–11:53
Gulikai Kalam is the 4th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 10:43–11:53.
Daylight here runs 07:13 to 16:33, 9 h 20 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 10 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.

Which nakshatra is it on Wed 12 Dec? Uttara Bhadrapada
At sunrise the Moon was at 345.9°: Uttara Bhadrapada, pada 4.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Uttara Bhadrapada spans 333°20′–346°40′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 343°20′. It leaves at 08:45, for Revati.
Which yoga is it on Wed 12 Dec? Vyatipata
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 582.8°, one turn and 222.8°: Vyatipata.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 236.9° + 345.9° = 582.8°, one full turn and 222.8°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 213°20′–226°40′ is the 17th, Vyatipata. It ends at 14:09, then Variyana.
Which karana is it on Wed 12 Dec? Taitila
At sunrise the lead was 109°: the first half of Dashami, Taitila.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dashami is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila runs until 17:35, when the lead reaches 114°; Garaja until 05:49 Thu.
Which vara is Wed 12 Dec, and from when? Budhawara
This day began at sunrise, 07:13 on Wednesday: Budhawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:13 to 07:14 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.
Which Hindu month is Wed 12 Dec in (amanta)? Margashirsha
This month began at the new moon of 2 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 15 Dec, inside the month. The next new moon, 1 Jan, finds it in Dhanu and begins Pausha.
Which Hindu month is Wed 12 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 2 Dec, with the Sun in Vrishchika, began Margashirsha. This Shukla paksha reads Margashirsha in both counts.
Which samvat year is Wed 12 Dec in? Vikram 2013 · Shaka 1878
Vikram Samvat 2013 began at the Chaitra new moon of 11 Apr 1956.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 11 Apr 1956, 05:38 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 239° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2013; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1878.
