How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Wed 18 Nov? Shukla Navami
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 98.3°: Shukla Navami.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 96°–108° is the 9th, Shukla Navami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:21 here. Ashtami ended at 02:35, before it. Navami ends at 03:36 Thu, when the lead reaches 108°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 9 Nov, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Wed 18 Nov? 05:27–06:24
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 05:27–06:24.
The night of Tue 17 Nov ran from sunset 17:02 Tue to sunrise 07:21, 14 h 19 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 57 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas
When is Dur Muhurtam on Wed 18 Nov? 11:52–12:31
Dur Muhurtam is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 11:52–12:31.
Daylight here, 07:21 to 17:01, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 38 m. Dur Muhurtam on a Wednesday is the 8th, 11:52–12:31: it takes the 8th, the middle one, so a Wednesday has no Abhijit.
Which choghadiya is good on Wed 18 Nov?
07:21–08:34 is Labha, ruled by Budha (Mercury), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight, counted good.
Daylight here, 07:21 to 17:01, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 12 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.
The night here, 17:01 to 07:23 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 47 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 18 Nov? 12:11–13:24
Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 5th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 12:11–13:24.
When is Yamagandam on Wed 18 Nov? 08:34–09:46
Yamaganda is the 2nd of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 08:34–09:46.
When is Gulika Kalam on Wed 18 Nov? 10:59–12:11
Gulikai Kalam is the 4th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 10:59–12:11.
Daylight here runs 07:21 to 17:01, 9 h 40 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 12 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 18 Nov? 07:21
Day here: sunrise 07:21, sunset 17:01, 9 h 40 m of daylight.
What time is sunset on Wed 18 Nov? 17:01
Day here: sunrise 07:21, sunset 17:01, 9 h 40 m of daylight.
Sunrise and sunset are computed for this place. Daylight lasts 9 h 40 m and the night until the next sunrise 14 h 22 m; every window and choghadiya is cut from these two lengths.

Which nakshatra is it on Wed 18 Nov? Shatabhisha
At sunrise the Moon was at 309.9°: Shatabhisha, pada 1.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Shatabhisha spans 306°40′–320°00′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 306°40′. It leaves at 02:40 Thu, for Purva Bhadrapada.
Which yoga is it on Wed 18 Nov? Vyaghata
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 521.5°, one turn and 161.5°: Vyaghata.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 211.6° + 309.9° = 521.5°, one full turn and 161.5°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 160°00′–173°20′ is the 13th, Vyaghata. It ends at 04:12 Thu, then Harshana.
Which karana is it on Wed 18 Nov? Balava
At sunrise the lead was 98.3°: the first half of Navami, Balava.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Navami is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava runs until 15:12, when the lead reaches 102°; Kaulava until 03:36 Thu.
Which vara is Wed 18 Nov, and from when? Budhawara
This day began at sunrise, 07:21 on Wednesday: Budhawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:21 to 07:23 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.
Which Hindu month is Wed 18 Nov in (amanta)? Kartika
This month began at the new moon of 9 Nov, with the Sun in Tula: Kartika.
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: Tula gives Kartika. The Sun enters Vrishchika on 16 Nov, inside the month. The next new moon, 9 Dec, finds it in Vrishchika and begins Margashirsha.
Which Hindu month is Wed 18 Nov in (purnimanta)? Kartika
Counted full moon to full moon, this waxing half belongs to Kartika.
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 9 Nov, with the Sun in Tula, began Kartika. This Shukla paksha reads Kartika in both counts.
Which samvat year is Wed 18 Nov in? Vikram 2083 · Shaka 1948
Vikram Samvat 2083 began at the Chaitra new moon of 19 Mar 2026.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 19 Mar 2026, 03:23 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 237.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
Moonrise and moonset
What time is moonrise on Wed 18 Nov? 13:41
The Moon rises here at 13:41.
What time is moonset on Wed 18 Nov? 01:12 Thu
The Moon was down at sunrise and rises at 13:41, in this day's daylight; it sets again at 01:12 Thu.
The Moon was down at sunrise and rose at 13:41; it sets again at 01:12 Thu, so this day's moonset falls in its night.
