How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Wed 1 May? Krishna Ashtami
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 265.6°: Krishna Ashtami.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 264°–276° is the 23rd, Krishna Ashtami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:20 here. Saptami ended at 03:16, before it. Ashtami ends at 01:31 Thu, when the lead reaches 276°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 24 Apr, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.
Why does New Delhi read Saptami?
New Delhi reads Saptami, Sofia reads Ashtami.
A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.
New Delhi · IST
Sunrise here, 05:40, came before Saptami ended at 05:46: this day reads Saptami. Ashtami ends at 04:01 Thu, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Ashtami: it is kshaya.
Sofia · UTC+3
Sunrise here, 06:20, came after Saptami ended at 03:16: this day reads Ashtami.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Wed 1 May? 05:01–05:41
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 05:01–05:41.
The night of Tue 30 Apr ran from sunset 20:26 Tue to sunrise 06:20, 9 h 54 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 39 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas
When is Dur Muhurtam on Wed 1 May? 12:55–13:52
Dur Muhurtam is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 12:55–13:52.
Daylight here, 06:20 to 20:27, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 56 m. Dur Muhurtam on a Wednesday is the 8th, 12:55–13:52: it takes the 8th, the middle one, so a Wednesday has no Abhijit.
Which choghadiya is good on Wed 1 May?
06:20–08:06 is Labha, ruled by Budha (Mercury), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight, counted good.
Daylight here, 06:20 to 20:27, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 45 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.
The night here, 20:27 to 06:19 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 14 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 1 May? 13:24–15:10
Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 5th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 13:24–15:10.
When is Yamagandam on Wed 1 May? 08:06–09:52
Yamaganda is the 2nd of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 08:06–09:52.
When is Gulika Kalam on Wed 1 May? 11:38–13:24
Gulikai Kalam is the 4th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 11:38–13:24.
Daylight here runs 06:20 to 20:27, 14 h 7 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 45 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 1 May? 06:20
Day here: sunrise 06:20, sunset 20:27, 14 h 7 m of daylight.
What time is sunset on Wed 1 May? 20:27
Day here: sunrise 06:20, sunset 20:27, 14 h 7 m of daylight.

Which nakshatra is it on Wed 1 May? Shravana
At sunrise the Moon was at 282.7°: Shravana, pada 1.
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 1 at 280°. It leaves at 00:40 Thu, for Dhanishtha.
Which yoga is it on Wed 1 May? Shubha
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 299.8°: Shubha.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 17.1° + 282.7° = 299.8°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 293°20′–306°40′ is the 23rd, Shubha. It ends at 17:31, then Shukla.
Which karana is it on Wed 1 May? Balava
At sunrise the lead was 265.6°: the first half of Ashtami, Balava.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Ashtami is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava runs until 14:27, when the lead reaches 270°; Kaulava until 01:31 Thu.
Which vara is Wed 1 May, and from when? Budhawara
This day began at sunrise, 06:20 on Wednesday: Budhawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:20 to 06:19 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.
Which Hindu month is Wed 1 May 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 Wed 1 May 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 8 May, 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 Wed 1 May 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 21.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2081; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1946.
Moonrise and moonset
What time is moonrise on Wed 1 May? 03:33 Thu
The Moon rises here at 03:33 Thu.
What time is moonset on Wed 1 May? 12:14
The Moon was up at sunrise and set at 12:14; it rises again at 03:33 Thu, so this day's moonrise falls in its night.
