How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Sat 16 Mar? Shukla Saptami
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 78.2°: Shukla Saptami.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 72°–84° is the 7th, Shukla Saptami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:36 here. Shashthi ended at 18:39 Fri, before it. Saptami ends at 18:09, when the lead reaches 84°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 10 Mar, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Sat 16 Mar? 05:00–05:48
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 05:00–05:48.
The night of Fri 15 Mar ran from sunset 18:33 Fri to sunrise 06:36, 12 h 3 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas
When is Abhijit Muhurat on Sat 16 Mar? 12:11–12:59
Abhijit is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight, the one around midday: 12:11–12:59.
When is Dur Muhurtam on Sat 16 Mar? 06:36–07:24
Dur Muhurtam is the 1st and 2nd of 15 equal parts of daylight: 06:36–07:24 and 07:24–08:12.
When is Dur Muhurtam on Sat 16 Mar? 07:24–08:12
Dur Muhurtam is the 1st and 2nd of 15 equal parts of daylight: 06:36–07:24 and 07:24–08:12.
Daylight here, 06:36 to 18:34, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 47 m. Abhijit is the 8th, the middle one. Dur Muhurtam on a Saturday is the 1st and 2nd, 06:36–07:24 and 07:24–08:12.
Which choghadiya is good on Sat 16 Mar?
06:36–08:06 is Kala, ruled by Shani (Saturn), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Saturday's daylight, counted bad.
Daylight here, 06:36 to 18:34, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 29 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.
The night here, 18:34 to 06:34 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 30 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 Mar? 09:36–11:05
Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 3rd of 8 equal parts of Saturday's daylight: 09:36–11:05.
When is Yamagandam on Sat 16 Mar? 14:05–15:35
Yamaganda is the 6th of 8 equal parts of Saturday's daylight: 14:05–15:35.
When is Gulika Kalam on Sat 16 Mar? 06:36–08:06
Gulikai Kalam is the 1st of 8 equal parts of Saturday's daylight: 06:36–08:06.
Daylight here runs 06:36 to 18:34, 11 h 58 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 29 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.

Day here: sunrise 06:36, sunset 18:34, 11 h 58 m of daylight.
What time is sunset on Sat 16 Mar? 18:34

Which nakshatra is it on Sat 16 Mar? Rohini
At sunrise the Moon was at 50°: Rohini, pada 4.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Rohini spans 40°00′–53°20′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 50°. It leaves at 12:35, for Mrigashira.
Which yoga is it on Sat 16 Mar? Priti
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 381.9°, one turn and 21.9°: Priti.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 331.9° + 50° = 381.9°, one full turn and 21.9°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 13°20′–26°40′ is the 2nd, Priti. It ends at 14:37, then Ayushmana.
Which karana is it on Sat 16 Mar? Vanija
At sunrise the lead was 78.2°: the second half of Saptami, Vanija.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Saptami is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja ended at 06:18, when the lead reached 78°; Vanija runs until 18:09.
Which vara is Sat 16 Mar, and from when? Shaniwara
This day began at sunrise, 06:36 on Saturday: Shaniwara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:36 to 06:34 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.
Which Hindu month is Sat 16 Mar in (amanta)? Phalguna
This month began at the new moon of 10 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, 8 Apr, finds it in Meena and begins Chaitra.
Which Hindu month is Sat 16 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 10 Mar, with the Sun in Kumbha, began Phalguna. This Shukla paksha reads Phalguna in both counts.
Which samvat year is Sat 16 Mar in? Vikram 2080 · Shaka 1945
Vikram Samvat 2080 began at the Chaitra new moon of 21 Mar 2023.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 21 Mar 2023, 19:23 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 355.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2080; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1945.

What time is moonrise on Sat 16 Mar? 09:53
