How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Sat 16 Jan? Shukla Ashtami
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 94.8°: 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, 07:54 here. Saptami ended at 10:43 Fri, before it. Ashtami ends at 10:13, when the lead reaches 96°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 7 Jan, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Sat 16 Jan? 05:57–06:55
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 05:57–06:55.
The night of Fri 15 Jan ran from sunset 17:17 Fri to sunrise 07:54, 14 h 37 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 58 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas
When is Abhijit Muhurat on Sat 16 Jan? 12:17–12:55
Abhijit is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight, the one around midday: 12:17–12:55.
When is Dur Muhurtam on Sat 16 Jan? 07:54–08:31
Dur Muhurtam is the 1st and 2nd of 15 equal parts of daylight: 07:54–08:31 and 08:31–09:09.
When is Dur Muhurtam on Sat 16 Jan? 08:31–09:09
Dur Muhurtam is the 1st and 2nd of 15 equal parts of daylight: 07:54–08:31 and 08:31–09:09.
Daylight here, 07:54 to 17:19, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 37 m. Abhijit is the 8th, the middle one. Dur Muhurtam on a Saturday is the 1st and 2nd, 07:54–08:31 and 08:31–09:09.
Which choghadiya is good on Sat 16 Jan?
07:54–09:04 is Kala, ruled by Shani (Saturn), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Saturday's daylight, counted bad.
Daylight here, 07:54 to 17:19, 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.
The night here, 17:19 to 07:53 Sun, 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.
Daylight in 8 parts
When is Rahu Kaal on Sat 16 Jan? 10:15–11:25
Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 3rd of 8 equal parts of Saturday's daylight: 10:15–11:25.
When is Yamagandam on Sat 16 Jan? 13:47–14:57
Yamaganda is the 6th of 8 equal parts of Saturday's daylight: 13:47–14:57.
When is Gulika Kalam on Sat 16 Jan? 07:54–09:04
Gulikai Kalam is the 1st of 8 equal parts of Saturday's daylight: 07:54–09:04.
Daylight here runs 07:54 to 17:19, 9 h 25 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 10 m, it gives the day's windows by weekday: on a Saturday Rahu Kaal is the 3rd part, Yamaganda the 6th and Gulikai Kalam the 1st.

Which nakshatra is it on Sat 16 Jan? Ashwini
At sunrise the Moon was at 6.4°: Ashwini, pada 2.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Ashwini spans 0°00′–13°20′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 3°20′. It leaves at 20:08, for Bharani.
Which yoga is it on Sat 16 Jan? Siddha
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 278°: Siddha.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 271.6° + 6.4° = 278°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 266°40′–280°00′ is the 21st, Siddha. It ends at 11:08, then Sadhya.
Which karana is it on Sat 16 Jan? Bava
At sunrise the lead was 94.8°: 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 22:34 Fri, when the lead reached 90°; Bava runs until 10:13.
Which vara is Sat 16 Jan, and from when? Shaniwara
This day began at sunrise, 07:54 on Saturday: Shaniwara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:54 to 07:53 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.
Which Hindu month is Sat 16 Jan in (amanta)? Pausha
This month began at the new moon of 7 Jan, with the Sun in Dhanu: Pausha.
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: Dhanu gives Pausha. The Sun enters Makara on 14 Jan, inside the month. The next new moon, 6 Feb, finds it in Makara and begins Magha.
Which Hindu month is Sat 16 Jan in (purnimanta)? Pausha
Counted full moon to full moon, this waxing half belongs to Pausha.
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 7 Jan, with the Sun in Dhanu, began Pausha. This Shukla paksha reads Pausha in both counts.
Which samvat year is Sat 16 Jan 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 297.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
Moonrise and moonset
What time is moonrise on Sat 16 Jan? 11:34
The Moon rises here at 11:34.
What time is moonset on Sat 16 Jan? 02:28 Sun
The Moon was down at sunrise and rises at 11:34, in this day's daylight; it sets again at 02:28 Sun.
