How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Wed 15 May? Shukla Ashtami
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 86°: 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, 06:04 here. Saptami ended at 01:49, before it. Ashtami ends at 03:53 Thu, when the lead reaches 96°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 8 May, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Wed 15 May? 04:49–05:26
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 04:49–05:26.
The night of Tue 14 May ran from sunset 20:41 Tue to sunrise 06:04, 9 h 23 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 37 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas
When is Dur Muhurtam on Wed 15 May? 12:54–13:52
Dur Muhurtam is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 12:54–13:52.
Daylight here, 06:04 to 20:42, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 58 m. Dur Muhurtam on a Wednesday is the 8th, 12:54–13:52: it takes the 8th, the middle one, so a Wednesday has no Abhijit.
Which choghadiya is good on Wed 15 May?
06:04–07:53 is Labha, ruled by Budha (Mercury), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight, counted good.
Daylight here, 06:04 to 20:42, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 49 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.
The night here, 20:42 to 06:03 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 10 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 15 May? 13:23–15:13
Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 5th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 13:23–15:13.
When is Yamagandam on Wed 15 May? 07:53–09:43
Yamaganda is the 2nd of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 07:53–09:43.
When is Gulika Kalam on Wed 15 May? 11:33–13:23
Gulikai Kalam is the 4th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 11:33–13:23.
Daylight here runs 06:04 to 20:42, 14 h 38 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 49 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.
Sunrise and sunset
What time is sunrise on Wed 15 May? 06:04
Day here: sunrise 06:04, sunset 20:42, 14 h 38 m of daylight.
What time is sunset on Wed 15 May? 20:42
Day here: sunrise 06:04, sunset 20:42, 14 h 38 m of daylight.
Sunrise and sunset are computed for this place. Daylight lasts 14 h 38 m and the night until the next sunrise 9 h 21 m; every window and choghadiya is cut from these two lengths.

Which nakshatra is it on Wed 15 May? Ashlesha
At sunrise the Moon was at 116.6°: Ashlesha, pada 3.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Ashlesha spans 106°40′–120°00′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 113°20′. It leaves at 12:55, for Magha.
Which yoga is it on Wed 15 May? Dhruva
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 147.2°: Dhruva.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 30.6° + 116.6° = 147.2°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 146°40′–160°00′ is the 12th, Dhruva. It ends at 05:52 Thu, then Vyaghata.
Which karana is it on Wed 15 May? Vishti
At sunrise the lead was 86°: the first half of Ashtami, Vishti.
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 runs until 14:48, when the lead reaches 90°; Bava until 03:53 Thu.
Which vara is Wed 15 May, and from when? Budhawara
This day began at sunrise, 06:04 on Wednesday: Budhawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:04 to 06:03 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.
Which Hindu month is Wed 15 May in (amanta)? Vaishakha
This month began at the new moon of 8 May, with the Sun in Mesha: Vaishakha.
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: Mesha gives Vaishakha. The Sun enters Vrishabha on 14 May, inside the month. The next new moon, 6 Jun, finds it in Vrishabha and begins Jyeshtha.
Which Hindu month is Wed 15 May in (purnimanta)? Vaishakha
Counted full moon to full moon, this waxing half 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, began Vaishakha. This Shukla paksha reads Vaishakha in both counts.
Which samvat year is Wed 15 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 35.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2081; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1946.

What time is moonrise on Wed 15 May? 12:37
The Moon rises here at 12:37.
What time is moonset on Wed 15 May? 03:02 Thu
