How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Tue 16 Apr? Shukla Ashtami
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 94°: Shukla Ashtami.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 84°–96° is the 8th, Shukla Ashtami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:43 here. Saptami ended at 09:42 Mon, before it. Ashtami ends at 10:54, when the lead reaches 96°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 8 Apr, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Tue 16 Apr? 05:18–06:01
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 05:18–06:01.
The night of Mon 15 Apr ran from sunset 20:09 Mon to sunrise 06:43, 10 h 34 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 42 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas
When is Abhijit Muhurat on Tue 16 Apr? 12:59–13:53
Abhijit is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight, the one around midday: 12:59–13:53.
When is Dur Muhurtam on Tue 16 Apr? 09:24–10:18
Dur Muhurtam is the 4th of 15 equal parts of daylight, 09:24–10:18, and the 7th of the night's 15, 00:22 Wed–01:05 Wed.
When is Dur Muhurtam on Tue 16 Apr? 00:22–01:05 Wed
Dur Muhurtam is the 4th of 15 equal parts of daylight, 09:24–10:18, and the 7th of the night's 15, 00:22 Wed–01:05 Wed.
Daylight here, 06:43 to 20:10, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 53 m. Abhijit is the 8th, the middle one. Dur Muhurtam on a Tuesday is the 4th and the night's 7th, 09:24–10:18 and 00:22 Wed–01:05 Wed.
Which choghadiya is good on Tue 16 Apr?
06:43–08:24 is Roga, ruled by Mangala (Mars), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Tuesday's daylight, counted bad.
Daylight here, 06:43 to 20:10, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 40 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.
The night here, 20:10 to 06:41 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 18 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 Tue 16 Apr? 16:48–18:29
Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 7th of 8 equal parts of Tuesday's daylight: 16:48–18:29.
When is Yamagandam on Tue 16 Apr? 10:05–11:46
Yamaganda is the 3rd of 8 equal parts of Tuesday's daylight: 10:05–11:46.
When is Gulika Kalam on Tue 16 Apr? 13:26–15:07
Gulikai Kalam is the 5th of 8 equal parts of Tuesday's daylight: 13:26–15:07.
Daylight here runs 06:43 to 20:10, 13 h 27 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 40 m, it gives the day's windows by weekday: on a Tuesday Rahu Kaal is the 7th part, Yamaganda the 3rd and Gulikai Kalam the 5th.

Which nakshatra is it on Tue 16 Apr? Pushya
At sunrise the Moon was at 96.5°: Pushya, pada 1.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Pushya spans 93°20′–106°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 93°20′. It leaves at 02:45 Wed, for Ashlesha.
Which yoga is it on Tue 16 Apr? Dhriti
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 99°: Dhriti.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 2.5° + 96.5° = 99°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 93°20′–106°40′ is the 8th, Dhriti. It ends at 20:46, then Shula.
Which karana is it on Tue 16 Apr? Bava
At sunrise the lead was 94°: the second half of Ashtami, Bava.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Ashtami is Vishti and the second Bava. Vishti ended at 22:13 Mon, when the lead reached 90°; Bava runs until 10:54.
Which vara is Tue 16 Apr, and from when? Mangalawara
This day began at sunrise, 06:43 on Tuesday: Mangalawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:43 to 06:41 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.
Which Hindu month is Tue 16 Apr in (amanta)? Chaitra
This month began at the new moon of 8 Apr, 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, 8 May, finds it in Mesha and begins Vaishakha.
Which Hindu month is Tue 16 Apr in (purnimanta)? Chaitra
Counted full moon to full moon, this waxing half belongs to Chaitra.
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 8 Apr, with the Sun in Meena, began Chaitra. This Shukla paksha reads Chaitra in both counts.
Which samvat year is Tue 16 Apr in? Vikram 2081 · Shaka 1946
Vikram Samvat 2081 began at the Chaitra new moon of 8 Apr 2024.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 8 Apr 2024, 21:20 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 7.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2081; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1946.
Moonrise and moonset
What time is moonrise on Tue 16 Apr? 12:38
