How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Thu 20 Apr? Krishna Navami
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 278.4°: Krishna Navami.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 276°–288° is the 24th, Krishna Navami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:37 here. Ashtami ended at 01:36, before it. Navami ends at 02:24 Fri, when the lead reaches 288°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 11 Apr, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Thu 20 Apr? 05:14–05:55
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 05:14–05:55.
The night of Wed 19 Apr ran from sunset 20:13 Wed to sunrise 06:37, 10 h 24 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 41 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas
When is Abhijit Muhurat on Thu 20 Apr? 12:58–13:53
Abhijit is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight, the one around midday: 12:58–13:53.
When is Dur Muhurtam on Thu 20 Apr? 11:09–12:04
Dur Muhurtam is the 6th and 12th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 11:09–12:04 and 16:36–17:31.
When is Dur Muhurtam on Thu 20 Apr? 16:36–17:31
Dur Muhurtam is the 6th and 12th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 11:09–12:04 and 16:36–17:31.
Daylight here, 06:37 to 20:14, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 54 m. Abhijit is the 8th, the middle one. Dur Muhurtam on a Thursday is the 6th and 12th, 11:09–12:04 and 16:36–17:31.
Which choghadiya is good on Thu 20 Apr?
06:37–08:19 is Shubha, ruled by Guru (Jupiter), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Thursday's daylight, counted good.
Daylight here, 06:37 to 20:14, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 42 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.
The night here, 20:14 to 06:35 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 17 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 Thu 20 Apr? 15:08–16:50
Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 6th of 8 equal parts of Thursday's daylight: 15:08–16:50.
When is Yamagandam on Thu 20 Apr? 06:37–08:19

When is Gulika Kalam on Thu 20 Apr? 10:01–11:43
Gulikai Kalam is the 3rd of 8 equal parts of Thursday's daylight: 10:01–11:43.
Daylight here runs 06:37 to 20:14, 13 h 37 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 42 m, it gives the day's windows by weekday: on a Thursday Rahu Kaal is the 6th part, Yamaganda the 1st and Gulikai Kalam the 3rd.

Which nakshatra is it on Thu 20 Apr? Shravana
At sunrise the Moon was at 284.6°: Shravana, pada 2.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Shravana spans 280°00′–293°20′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 283°20′. It leaves at 23:21, for Dhanishtha.
Which yoga is it on Thu 20 Apr? Sadhya
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 290.8°: Sadhya.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 6.2° + 284.6° = 290.8°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 280°00′–293°20′ is the 22nd, Sadhya. It ends at 11:17, then Shubha.
Which karana is it on Thu 20 Apr? Taitila
At sunrise the lead was 278.4°: the first half of Navami, Taitila.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Navami is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila runs until 14:06, when the lead reaches 282°; Garaja until 02:24 Fri.
Which vara is Thu 20 Apr, and from when? Guruwara
This day began at sunrise, 06:37 on Thursday: Guruwara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:37 to 06:35 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.
Which Hindu month is Thu 20 Apr in (amanta)? Chaitra
This month began at the new moon of 28 Mar, with the Sun in Meena: Chaitra.
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: Meena gives Chaitra. The Sun enters Mesha on 13 Apr, inside the month. The next new moon, 26 Apr, finds it in Mesha and begins Vaishakha.
Which Hindu month is Thu 20 Apr in (purnimanta)? Vaishakha
Counted full moon to full moon, this waning half already belongs to Vaishakha.
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 26 Apr, with the Sun in Mesha, begins Vaishakha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Vaishakha here, and Chaitra in the amanta count.
Which samvat year is Thu 20 Apr in? Vikram 2074 · Shaka 1939
Vikram Samvat 2074 began at the Chaitra new moon of 28 Mar 2017.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 28 Mar 2017, 05:57 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 22.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2074; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1939.
Moonrise and moonset
What time is moonrise on Thu 20 Apr? 03:50 Fri
The Moon rises here at 03:50 Fri.
What time is moonset on Thu 20 Apr? 13:28
