How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Wed 9 Dec? Shukla Pratipada
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 2.2°: Shukla Pratipada.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 0°–12° is the 1st, Shukla Pratipada. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:45 here. Amavasya ended at 02:51, before it. Pratipada ends at 05:16 Thu, when the lead reaches 12°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 9 Dec, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Wed 9 Dec? 05:46–06:45
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 05:46–06:45.
The night of Tue 8 Dec ran from sunset 16:52 Tue to sunrise 07:45, 14 h 53 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 59 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas
When is Dur Muhurtam on Wed 9 Dec? 12:00–12:37
Dur Muhurtam is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 12:00–12:37.
Daylight here, 07:45 to 16:52, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 36 m. Dur Muhurtam on a Wednesday is the 8th, 12:00–12:37: it takes the 8th, the middle one, so a Wednesday has no Abhijit.
Which choghadiya is good on Wed 9 Dec?
07:45–08:53 is Labha, ruled by Budha (Mercury), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight, counted good.
Daylight here, 07:45 to 16:52, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 8 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.
The night here, 16:52 to 07:45 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 51 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 9 Dec? 12:19–13:27
Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 5th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 12:19–13:27.
When is Yamagandam on Wed 9 Dec? 08:53–10:02
Yamaganda is the 2nd of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 08:53–10:02.
When is Gulika Kalam on Wed 9 Dec? 11:10–12:19
Gulikai Kalam is the 4th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 11:10–12:19.
Daylight here runs 07:45 to 16:52, 9 h 7 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 8 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 9 Dec? 07:45
Day here: sunrise 07:45, sunset 16:52, 9 h 7 m of daylight.
What time is sunset on Wed 9 Dec? 16:52
Day here: sunrise 07:45, sunset 16:52, 9 h 7 m of daylight.

Which nakshatra is it on Wed 9 Dec? Jyeshtha
At sunrise the Moon was at 235.1°: Jyeshtha, pada 3.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Jyeshtha spans 226°40′–240°00′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 233°20′. It leaves at 17:30, for Mula.
Which yoga is it on Wed 9 Dec? Shula
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 468°, one turn and 108°: Shula.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 232.9° + 235.1° = 468°, one full turn and 108°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 106°40′–120°00′ is the 9th, Shula. It ends at 05:54 Thu, then Ganda.
Which karana is it on Wed 9 Dec? Kinstughna
At sunrise the lead was 2.2°: the first half of Pratipada, Kinstughna.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Pratipada is Kinstughna and the second Bava. Kinstughna runs until 16:02, when the lead reaches 6°; Bava until 05:16 Thu.
Which vara is Wed 9 Dec, and from when? Budhawara
This day began at sunrise, 07:45 on Wednesday: Budhawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:45 to 07:45 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.
Which Hindu month is Wed 9 Dec in (amanta)? Margashirsha
This month began at the new moon of 9 Dec, with the Sun in Vrishchika: Margashirsha.
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: Vrishchika gives Margashirsha. The Sun enters Dhanu on 16 Dec, inside the month. The next new moon, 7 Jan, finds it in Dhanu and begins Pausha.
Which Hindu month is Wed 9 Dec in (purnimanta)? Margashirsha
Counted full moon to full moon, this waxing half belongs to Margashirsha.
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 Dec, with the Sun in Vrishchika, began Margashirsha. This Shukla paksha reads Margashirsha in both counts.
Which samvat year is Wed 9 Dec 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 258.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.

What time is moonrise on Wed 9 Dec? 08:23
