How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Sat 23 Dec? Shukla Panchami
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 53.9°: Shukla Panchami.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 48°–60° is the 5th, Shukla Panchami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:54 here. Chaturthi ended at 18:52 Fri, before it. Panchami ends at 20:55, when the lead reaches 60°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 18 Dec, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Sat 23 Dec? 05:55–06:54
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 05:55–06:54.
The night of Fri 22 Dec ran from sunset 16:56 Fri to sunrise 07:54, 14 h 58 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 59 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas
When is Abhijit Muhurat on Sat 23 Dec? 12:07–12:44
Abhijit is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight, the one around midday: 12:07–12:44.
When is Dur Muhurtam on Sat 23 Dec? 07:54–08:30
Dur Muhurtam is the 1st and 2nd of 15 equal parts of daylight: 07:54–08:30 and 08:30–09:07.
When is Dur Muhurtam on Sat 23 Dec? 08:30–09:07
Dur Muhurtam is the 1st and 2nd of 15 equal parts of daylight: 07:54–08:30 and 08:30–09:07.
Daylight here, 07:54 to 16:57, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 36 m. Abhijit is the 8th, the middle one. Dur Muhurtam on a Saturday is the 1st and 2nd, 07:54–08:30 and 08:30–09:07.
Which choghadiya is good on Sat 23 Dec?
07:54–09:02 is Kala, ruled by Shani (Saturn), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Saturday's daylight, counted bad.
Daylight here, 07:54 to 16:57, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 7 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.
The night here, 16:57 to 07:55 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 52 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 23 Dec? 10:10–11:18
Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 3rd of 8 equal parts of Saturday's daylight: 10:10–11:18.

Daylight here runs 07:54 to 16:57, 9 h 3 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 7 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.

Which nakshatra is it on Sat 23 Dec? Dhanishtha
At sunrise the Moon was at 301.5°: Dhanishtha, pada 3.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Dhanishtha spans 293°20′–306°40′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 300°. It leaves at 18:13, for Shatabhisha.
Which yoga is it on Sat 23 Dec? Vajra
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 549°, one turn and 189°: Vajra.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 247.5° + 301.5° = 549°, one full turn and 189°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 186°40′–200°00′ is the 15th, Vajra. It ends at 04:02 Sun, then Siddhi.
Which karana is it on Sat 23 Dec? Bava
At sunrise the lead was 53.9°: the first half of Panchami, Bava.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Panchami is Bava and the second Balava. Bava runs until 07:57, when the lead reaches 54°; Balava until 20:55.
Which vara is Sat 23 Dec, and from when? Shaniwara
This day began at sunrise, 07:54 on Saturday: Shaniwara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:54 to 07:55 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.
Which Hindu month is Sat 23 Dec in (amanta)? Pausha
This month began at the new moon of 18 Dec, with the Sun in Dhanu: Pausha.
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: Dhanu gives Pausha. The Sun enters Makara on 14 Jan, inside the month. The next new moon, 17 Jan, finds it in Makara and begins Magha.
Which Hindu month is Sat 23 Dec in (purnimanta)? Pausha
Counted full moon to full moon, this waxing half belongs to Pausha.
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 18 Dec, with the Sun in Dhanu, began Pausha. This Shukla paksha reads Pausha in both counts.
Which samvat year is Sat 23 Dec 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 264° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2074; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1939.
