How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Wed 19 Dec? Shukla Dwadashi
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 134°: Shukla Dwadashi.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 132°–144° is the 12th, Shukla Dwadashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:52 here. Ekadashi ended at 04:05, before it. Dwadashi ends at 02:56 Thu, when the lead reaches 144°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 7 Dec, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
Why does New Delhi read Ekadashi?
New Delhi reads Ekadashi, Sofia reads Dwadashi.
A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.
New Delhi · IST
Sunrise here, 07:08, came before Ekadashi ended at 07:35: this day reads Ekadashi. Dwadashi ends at 06:26 Thu, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Dwadashi: it is kshaya.
Sofia · UTC+2
Sunrise here, 07:52, came after Ekadashi ended at 04:05: this day reads Dwadashi.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Wed 19 Dec? 05:52–06:52
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 05:52–06:52.
The night of Tue 18 Dec ran from sunset 16:54 Tue to sunrise 07:52, 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 Dur Muhurtam on Wed 19 Dec? 12:05–12:41
Dur Muhurtam is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 12:05–12:41.
Daylight here, 07:52 to 16:55, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 36 m. Dur Muhurtam on a Wednesday is the 8th, 12:05–12:41: it takes the 8th, the middle one, so a Wednesday has no Abhijit.
Which choghadiya is good on Wed 19 Dec?
07:52–09:00 is Labha, ruled by Budha (Mercury), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight, counted good.
Daylight here, 07:52 to 16:55, 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, 16:55 to 07:53 Thu, 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 Wed 19 Dec? 12:23–13:31
Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 5th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 12:23–13:31.
When is Yamagandam on Wed 19 Dec? 09:00–10:08
Yamaganda is the 2nd of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 09:00–10:08.
When is Gulika Kalam on Wed 19 Dec? 11:16–12:23
Gulikai Kalam is the 4th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 11:16–12:23.
Daylight here runs 07:52 to 16:55, 9 h 3 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 7 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.

What time is sunrise on Wed 19 Dec? 07:52
Day here: sunrise 07:52, sunset 16:55, 9 h 3 m of daylight.
What time is sunset on Wed 19 Dec? 16:55
Day here: sunrise 07:52, sunset 16:55, 9 h 3 m of daylight.

Which nakshatra is it on Wed 19 Dec? Bharani
At sunrise the Moon was at 17.1°: Bharani, pada 2.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Bharani spans 13°20′–26°40′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 16°40′. It leaves at 00:41 Thu, for Krittika.
Which yoga is it on Wed 19 Dec? Shiva
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 260.2°: Shiva.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 243.1° + 17.1° = 260.2°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 253°20′–266°40′ is the 20th, Shiva. It ends at 18:25, then Siddha.
Which karana is it on Wed 19 Dec? Bava
At sunrise the lead was 134°: the first half of Dwadashi, Bava.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwadashi is Bava and the second Balava. Bava runs until 15:36, when the lead reaches 138°; Balava until 02:56 Thu.
Which vara is Wed 19 Dec, and from when? Budhawara
This day began at sunrise, 07:52 on Wednesday: Budhawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:52 to 07:53 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.
Which Hindu month is Wed 19 Dec in (amanta)? Margashirsha
This month began at the new moon of 7 Dec, with the Sun in Vrishchika: Margashirsha.
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: Vrishchika gives Margashirsha. The Sun enters Dhanu on 16 Dec, inside the month. The next new moon, 6 Jan, finds it in Dhanu and begins Pausha.
Which Hindu month is Wed 19 Dec in (purnimanta)? Margashirsha
Counted full moon to full moon, this waxing half belongs to Margashirsha.
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 7 Dec, with the Sun in Vrishchika, began Margashirsha. This Shukla paksha reads Margashirsha in both counts.
Which samvat year is Wed 19 Dec in? Vikram 2075 · Shaka 1940
Vikram Samvat 2075 began at the Chaitra new moon of 17 Mar 2018.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 17 Mar 2018, 15:11 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 270.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2075; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1940.
