How each value is worked out

Which tithi is on Sat 16 Aug? Krishna Saptami

At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 253.3°: Krishna Saptami.

Earth at the centre · Sun fixed at the top · Moon moves counter-clockwise · not to scale

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 252°–264° is the 22nd, Krishna Saptami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:34 here. Shashthi ended at 04:00, before it. Saptami ends at 03:26 Sun, when the lead reaches 264°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 10 Aug, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

Why does New Delhi read Shashthi?

New Delhi reads Shashthi, Sofia reads Saptami.

Time runs down, the same instant across both columns · each place on its own clock · dashed: tithi changes

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

New Delhi · IST

Sunrise here, 05:50, came before Shashthi ended at 06:30: this day reads Shashthi.

Sofia · UTC+3

Sunrise here, 06:34, came after Shashthi ended at 04:00: this day reads Saptami.

What time is Brahma Muhurta on Sat 16 Aug? 05:13–05:53

Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 05:13–05:53.

Night below the line, in 15 muhurtas, clockwise from sunset · Friday's daylight dimmed

The night of Fri 15 Aug ran from sunset 20:28 Fri to sunrise 06:34, 10 h 6 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 40 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight in 15 muhurtas

When is Abhijit Muhurat on Sat 16 Aug? 13:02–13:58

Abhijit is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight, the one around midday: 13:02–13:58.

When is Dur Muhurtam on Sat 16 Aug? 06:34–07:29

Dur Muhurtam is the 1st and 2nd of 15 equal parts of daylight: 06:34–07:29 and 07:29–08:25.

When is Dur Muhurtam on Sat 16 Aug? 07:29–08:25

Dur Muhurtam is the 1st and 2nd of 15 equal parts of daylight: 06:34–07:29 and 07:29–08:25.

Daylight above the line, in 15 muhurtas · dashed: Dur Muhurtam 1, 2

Daylight here, 06:34 to 20:27, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 55 m. Abhijit is the 8th, the middle one. Dur Muhurtam on a Saturday is the 1st and 2nd, 06:34–07:29 and 07:29–08:25.

Which choghadiya is good on Sat 16 Aug?

06:34–08:18 is Kala, ruled by Shani (Saturn), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Saturday's daylight, counted bad.

Day above the line, night below · clockwise from sunrise

Daylight here, 06:34 to 20:27, 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, 20:27 to 06:35 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 16 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 Sat 16 Aug? 10:02–11:46

Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 3rd of 8 equal parts of Saturday's daylight: 10:02–11:46.

When is Yamagandam on Sat 16 Aug? 15:14–16:59

Yamaganda is the 6th of 8 equal parts of Saturday's daylight: 15:14–16:59.

When is Gulika Kalam on Sat 16 Aug? 06:34–08:18

Gulikai Kalam is the 1st of 8 equal parts of Saturday's daylight: 06:34–08:18.

Day above the line, night below · clockwise from sunrise · dashed: Gulikai Kalam 1, Yamaganda 6

Daylight here runs 06:34 to 20:27, 13 h 53 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 44 m, it gives the day's windows by weekday: on a Saturday Rahu Kaal is the 3rd part, Yamaganda the 6th and Gulikai Kalam the 1st.

Sunrise and sunset

What time is sunrise on Sat 16 Aug? 06:34

Day here: sunrise 06:34, sunset 20:27, 13 h 53 m of daylight.

What time is sunset on Sat 16 Aug? 20:27

Day here: sunrise 06:34, sunset 20:27, 13 h 53 m of daylight.

Day above the line, night below · clockwise from sunrise · inner arc: Moon above the horizon, two passes

Sunrise and sunset are computed for this place. Daylight lasts 13 h 53 m and the night until the next sunrise 10 h 8 m; every window and choghadiya is cut from these two lengths.

Which nakshatra is it on Sat 16 Aug? Ashwini

At sunrise the Moon was at 12.5°: Ashwini, pada 4.

Stars fixed · sidereal, Lahiri · 0° at the top, counter-clockwise

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 08:05, for Bharani.

Which yoga is it on Sat 16 Aug? Ganda

At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 131.7°: Ganda.

Stars fixed · sidereal, Lahiri · 0° at the top, counter-clockwise

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 119.2° + 12.5° = 131.7°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 120°00′–133°20′ is the 10th, Ganda. It ends at 09:24, then Vriddhi.

Which karana is it on Sat 16 Aug? Vishti

At sunrise the lead was 253.3°: the first half of Saptami, Vishti.

Earth at the centre · Sun fixed at the top · Moon moves counter-clockwise · each 12° tithi halved into karanas · not to scale

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Saptami is Vishti and the second Bava. Vishti runs until 15:37, when the lead reaches 258°; Bava until 03:26 Sun.

Which vara is Sat 16 Aug, and from when? Shaniwara

This day began at sunrise, 06:34 on Saturday: Shaniwara.

One turn of the wheel is one vara, sunrise to sunrise · clockwise

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:34 to 06:35 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.

Which Hindu month is Sat 16 Aug in (amanta)? Shravana

This month began at the new moon of 27 Jul, with the Sun in Karka: Shravana.

Stars fixed · sidereal, Lahiri · ring: the Sun's yearly path in 12 rashis of 30°, numbered from 0° · Sun's path from new moon to new moon

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: Karka gives Shravana. The Sun enters Simha on 17 Aug, inside the month. The next new moon, 25 Aug, finds it in Simha and begins Bhadrapada.

Which Hindu month is Sat 16 Aug in (purnimanta)? Bhadrapada

Counted full moon to full moon, this waning half already belongs to Bhadrapada.

Time runs left to right · amanta: new moon to new moon · purnimanta: full moon to full moon

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 Aug, with the Sun in Simha, begins Bhadrapada. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Bhadrapada here, and Shravana in the amanta count.

Which samvat year is Sat 16 Aug in? Vikram 2071 · Shaka 1936

Vikram Samvat 2071 began at the Chaitra new moon of 30 Mar 2014.

Stars fixed · sidereal, Lahiri · ring: the Sun's yearly path in 12 rashis of 30°, numbered from 0° · Sun's path since the year began

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 30 Mar 2014, 21:44 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 133.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2071; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1936.

Moonrise and moonset

What time is moonrise on Sat 16 Aug? 23:48

The Moon rises here at 23:48.

What time is moonset on Sat 16 Aug? 13:10

Day above the line, night below · clockwise from sunrise · inner arc: Moon above the horizon, two passes

The Moon was up at sunrise and set at 13:10; it rises again at 23:48, so this day's moonrise falls in its night.

The Moon was up at sunrise and sets at 13:10, in this day's daylight; it rises again at 23:48.
