How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Wed 17 Mar? Shukla Dashami
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 109.9°: Shukla Dashami.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 108°–120° is the 10th, Shukla Dashami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:36 here. Navami ended at 03:14, before it. Dashami ends at 00:51 Thu, when the lead reaches 120°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 8 Mar, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
Why does New Delhi read Navami?
New Delhi reads Navami, Sofia reads Dashami.
A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.
New Delhi · IST
Sunrise here, 06:29, came before Navami ended at 06:44: this day reads Navami. Dashami ends at 04:21 Thu, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Dashami: it is kshaya.
Sofia · UTC+2
Sunrise here, 06:36, came after Navami ended at 03:14: this day reads Dashami.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Wed 17 Mar? 04:59–05:47
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 04:59–05:47.
The night of Tue 16 Mar ran from sunset 18:33 Tue to sunrise 06:36, 12 h 3 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas
When is Dur Muhurtam on Wed 17 Mar? 12:11–12:59
Dur Muhurtam is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 12:11–12:59.
Daylight here, 06:36 to 18:35, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 47 m. Dur Muhurtam on a Wednesday is the 8th, 12:11–12:59: it takes the 8th, the middle one, so a Wednesday has no Abhijit.
Which choghadiya is good on Wed 17 Mar?
06:36–08:05 is Labha, ruled by Budha (Mercury), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight, counted good.
Daylight here, 06:36 to 18:35, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 29 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.
The night here, 18:35 to 06:34 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 29 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 17 Mar? 12:35–14:05
Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 5th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 12:35–14:05.
When is Yamagandam on Wed 17 Mar? 08:05–09:35
Yamaganda is the 2nd of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 08:05–09:35.
When is Gulika Kalam on Wed 17 Mar? 11:05–12:35
Gulikai Kalam is the 4th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 11:05–12:35.
Daylight here runs 06:36 to 18:35, 11 h 59 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 29 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.

Which nakshatra is it on Wed 17 Mar? Punarvasu
At sunrise the Moon was at 82°: Punarvasu, pada 1.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Punarvasu spans 80°00′–93°20′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 80°. It leaves at 01:37 Thu, for Pushya.
Which yoga is it on Wed 17 Mar? Shobhana
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 414.1°, one turn and 54.1°: Shobhana.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 332.1° + 82° = 414.1°, one full turn and 54.1°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 53°20′–66°40′ is the 5th, Shobhana. It ends at 02:17 Thu, then Atiganda.
Which karana is it on Wed 17 Mar? Taitila
At sunrise the lead was 109.9°: the first half of Dashami, Taitila.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dashami is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila runs until 14:04, when the lead reaches 114°; Garaja until 00:51 Thu.
Which vara is Wed 17 Mar, and from when? Budhawara
This day began at sunrise, 06:36 on Wednesday: Budhawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:36 to 06:34 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.
Which Hindu month is Wed 17 Mar in (amanta)? Phalguna
This month began at the new moon of 8 Mar, with the Sun in Kumbha: Phalguna.
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: Kumbha gives Phalguna. The Sun enters Meena on 15 Mar, inside the month. The next new moon, 7 Apr, finds it in Meena and begins Chaitra.
Which Hindu month is Wed 17 Mar in (purnimanta)? Phalguna
Counted full moon to full moon, this waxing half belongs to Phalguna.
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 Mar, with the Sun in Kumbha, began Phalguna. This Shukla paksha reads Phalguna in both counts.
Which samvat year is Wed 17 Mar 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 357.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
