How each value is worked out
Why is Purnima on Wed 23 Dec in Sovetsk?
Purnima is on Wed 23 Dec: Purnima holds sunrise that day.
Purnima follows the tithi at sunrise. Purnima runs from 07:17 on Wed 23 Dec to 03:28 on Thu 24 Dec, so it holds sunrise only on Wed 23 Dec, at 08:56. No text giving Purnima’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
Which tithi is on Wed 23 Dec? Shukla Purnima
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 169°: Shukla Purnima.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 168°–180° is the 15th, Shukla Purnima. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 08:56 here. Chaturdashi ended at 07:17, before it. Purnima ends at 03:28 Thu, when the lead reaches 180°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 9 Dec, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
Why does New Delhi read Chaturdashi?
New Delhi reads Chaturdashi, Sovetsk reads Purnima.
A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.
New Delhi · IST
Sunrise here, 07:10, came before Chaturdashi ended at 10:47: this day reads Chaturdashi. Purnima ends at 06:58 Thu, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Purnima: it is kshaya.
Sovetsk · UTC+2
Sunrise here, 08:56, came after Chaturdashi ended at 07:17: this day reads Purnima.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Wed 23 Dec? 06:42–07:49
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 06:42–07:49.
The night of Tue 22 Dec ran from sunset 16:05 Tue to sunrise 08:56, 16 h 51 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 1 h 7 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas
When is Dur Muhurtam on Wed 23 Dec? 12:17–12:45
Dur Muhurtam is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 12:17–12:45.
Daylight here, 08:56 to 16:05, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 28 m. Dur Muhurtam on a Wednesday is the 8th, 12:17–12:45: it takes the 8th, the middle one, so a Wednesday has no Abhijit.
Which choghadiya is good on Wed 23 Dec?
08:56–09:50 is Labha, ruled by Budha (Mercury), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight, counted good.

The night here, 16:05 to 08:57 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 2 h 6 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

Which nakshatra is it on Wed 23 Dec? Mrigashira
At sunrise the Moon was at 56.2°: Mrigashira, pada 1.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Mrigashira spans 53°20′–66°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 53°20′. It leaves at 01:23 Thu, for Ardra.
Which yoga is it on Wed 23 Dec? Shubha
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 303.4°: Shubha.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 247.2° + 56.2° = 303.4°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 293°20′–306°40′ is the 23rd, Shubha. It ends at 13:45, then Shukla.
Which karana is it on Wed 23 Dec? Vishti
At sunrise the lead was 169°: the first half of Purnima, Vishti.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Purnima is Vishti and the second Bava. Vishti runs until 17:23, when the lead reaches 174°; Bava until 03:28 Thu.
Which vara is Wed 23 Dec, and from when? Budhawara
This day began at sunrise, 08:56 on Wednesday: Budhawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 08:56 to 08:57 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.
Which Hindu month is Wed 23 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 23 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 23 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 273° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
