How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Wed 9 Mar? Shukla Chaturthi
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 47.2°: Shukla Chaturthi.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 36°–48° is the 4th, Shukla Chaturthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:50 here. Tritiya ended at 06:14 Tue, before it. Chaturthi ends at 08:36, when the lead reaches 48°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 4 Mar, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
Why does Chaturthi hold two sunrises?
Chaturthi holds the sunrises of both Tue 8 and Wed 9 Mar here.
A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Chaturthi began at 06:14 Tue, before sunrise at 06:51 Tue, and ends at 08:36, after the next sunrise at 06:50. Both days read Chaturthi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Wed 9 Mar? 05:10–06:00
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 05:10–06:00.
The night of Tue 8 Mar ran from sunset 18:24 Tue to sunrise 06:50, 12 h 26 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 49 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas
When is Dur Muhurtam on Wed 9 Mar? 12:14–13:00
Dur Muhurtam is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 12:14–13:00.
Daylight here, 06:50 to 18:25, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 46 m. Dur Muhurtam on a Wednesday is the 8th, 12:14–13:00: it takes the 8th, the middle one, so a Wednesday has no Abhijit.
Which choghadiya is good on Wed 9 Mar?
06:50–08:17 is Labha, ruled by Budha (Mercury), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight, counted good.
Daylight here, 06:50 to 18:25, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 26 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.
The night here, 18:25 to 06:48 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 32 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 9 Mar? 12:37–14:04
Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 5th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 12:37–14:04.
When is Yamagandam on Wed 9 Mar? 08:17–09:43
Yamaganda is the 2nd of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 08:17–09:43.
When is Gulika Kalam on Wed 9 Mar? 11:10–12:37
Gulikai Kalam is the 4th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 11:10–12:37.
Daylight here runs 06:50 to 18:25, 11 h 35 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 26 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 9 Mar? 06:50
Day here: sunrise 06:50, sunset 18:25, 11 h 35 m of daylight.
What time is sunset on Wed 9 Mar? 18:25
Day here: sunrise 06:50, sunset 18:25, 11 h 35 m of daylight.
Sunrise and sunset are computed for this place. Daylight lasts 11 h 35 m and the night until the next sunrise 12 h 23 m; every window and choghadiya is cut from these two lengths.

Which nakshatra is it on Wed 9 Mar? Ashwini
At sunrise the Moon was at 11.4°: Ashwini, pada 4.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Ashwini spans 0°00′–13°20′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 10°. It leaves at 10:38, for Bharani.
Which yoga is it on Wed 9 Mar? Indra
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 335.6°: Indra.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 324.2° + 11.4° = 335.6°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 333°20′–346°40′ is the 26th, Indra. It ends at 03:05 Thu, then Vaidhriti.
Which karana is it on Wed 9 Mar? Vishti
At sunrise the lead was 47.2°: the second half of Chaturthi, Vishti.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturthi is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija ended at 19:26 Tue, when the lead reached 42°; Vishti runs until 08:36.
Which vara is Wed 9 Mar, and from when? Budhawara
This day began at sunrise, 06:50 on Wednesday: Budhawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:50 to 06:48 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.
Which Hindu month is Wed 9 Mar in (amanta)? Phalguna
This month began at the new moon of 4 Mar, with the Sun in Kumbha: Phalguna.
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: Kumbha gives Phalguna. The Sun enters Meena on 15 Mar, inside the month. The next new moon, 3 Apr, finds it in Meena and begins Chaitra.
Which Hindu month is Wed 9 Mar in (purnimanta)? Phalguna
Counted full moon to full moon, this waxing half 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 4 Mar, with the Sun in Kumbha, began Phalguna. This Shukla paksha reads Phalguna in both counts.
Which samvat year is Wed 9 Mar in? Vikram 2067 · Shaka 1932
Vikram Samvat 2067 began at the Chaitra new moon of 15 Mar 2010.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 15 Mar 2010, 23:01 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 353° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2067; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1932.

What time is moonrise on Wed 9 Mar? 08:24
The Moon rises here at 08:24.
