How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Wed 9 Mar? Shukla Pratipada
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 1.7°: 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, 06:48 here. Amavasya ended at 03:54, before it. Pratipada ends at 00:31 Thu, when the lead reaches 12°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 9 Mar, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
Why does New Delhi read Amavasya?
New Delhi reads Amavasya, Sofia reads Pratipada.
A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.
New Delhi · IST
Sunrise here, 06:37, came before Amavasya ended at 07:24: this day reads Amavasya. Pratipada ends at 04:01 Thu, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Pratipada: it is kshaya.
Sofia · UTC+2
Sunrise here, 06:48, came after Amavasya ended at 03:54: this day reads Pratipada.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Wed 9 Mar? 05:09–05:59
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 05:09–05:59.
The night of Tue 8 Mar ran from sunset 18:25 Tue to sunrise 06:48, 12 h 23 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, 06:48 to 18:26, 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?
06:48–08:15 is Labha, ruled by Budha (Mercury), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight, counted good.
Daylight here, 06:48 to 18:26, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 27 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.
The night here, 18:26 to 06:47 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? 08:15–09:43
Yamaganda is the 2nd of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 08:15–09:43.
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 06:48 to 18:26, 11 h 38 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 27 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 9 Mar? Purva Bhadrapada
At sunrise the Moon was at 326.6°: Purva Bhadrapada, pada 2.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Purva Bhadrapada spans 320°00′–333°20′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 323°20′. It leaves at 17:31, for Uttara Bhadrapada.
Which yoga is it on Wed 9 Mar? Sadhya
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 651.6°, one turn and 291.6°: Sadhya.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 325° + 326.6° = 651.6°, one full turn and 291.6°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 280°00′–293°20′ is the 22nd, Sadhya. It ends at 09:23, then Shubha.
Which karana is it on Wed 9 Mar? Kinstughna
At sunrise the lead was 1.7°: the first half of Pratipada, Kinstughna.
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 runs until 14:14, when the lead reaches 6°; Bava until 00:31 Thu.
Which vara is Wed 9 Mar, 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 9 Mar in (amanta)? Phalguna
This month began at the new moon of 9 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 14 Mar, inside the month. The next new moon, 7 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 9 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 2072 · Shaka 1937
Vikram Samvat 2072 began at the Chaitra new moon of 20 Mar 2015.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 20 Mar 2015, 11:36 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 349.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2072; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1937.
