How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Wed 18 May? Shukla Dwadashi
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 137.8°: Shukla Dwadashi.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 132°–144° is the 12th, Shukla Dwadashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:02 here. Ekadashi ended at 17:17 Tue, before it. Dwadashi ends at 19:52, when the lead reaches 144°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 7 May, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Wed 18 May? 04:31–05:17
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 04:31–05:17.
The night of Tue 17 May ran from sunset 18:42 Tue to sunrise 06:02, 11 h 20 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas
When is Dur Muhurtam on Wed 18 May? 11:57–12:47
Dur Muhurtam is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 11:57–12:47.
Daylight here, 06:02 to 18:42, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 50 m. Dur Muhurtam on a Wednesday is the 8th, 11:57–12:47: it takes the 8th, the middle one, so a Wednesday has no Abhijit.
Which choghadiya is good on Wed 18 May?
06:02–07:37 is Labha, ruled by Budha (Mercury), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight, counted good.
Daylight here, 06:02 to 18:42, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 35 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.
The night here, 18:42 to 06:02 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 25 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 May? 12:22–13:57
Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 5th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 12:22–13:57.
When is Yamagandam on Wed 18 May? 07:37–09:12
Yamaganda is the 2nd of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 07:37–09:12.
When is Gulika Kalam on Wed 18 May? 10:47–12:22
Gulikai Kalam is the 4th of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight: 10:47–12:22.
Daylight here runs 06:02 to 18:42, 12 h 40 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 35 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 May? 06:02
Day here: sunrise 06:02, sunset 18:42, 12 h 40 m of daylight.
What time is sunset on Wed 18 May? 18:42
Day here: sunrise 06:02, sunset 18:42, 12 h 40 m of daylight.
Sunrise and sunset are computed for this place. Daylight lasts 12 h 40 m and the night until the next sunrise 11 h 20 m; every window and choghadiya is cut from these two lengths.

Which nakshatra is it on Wed 18 May? Hasta
At sunrise the Moon was at 171.2°: Hasta, pada 4.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Hasta spans 160°00′–173°20′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 170°. It leaves at 10:25, for Chitra.
Which yoga is it on Wed 18 May? Siddhi
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 204.6°: Siddhi.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 33.4° + 171.2° = 204.6°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 200°00′–213°20′ is the 16th, Siddhi. It ends at 22:26, then Vyatipata.
Which karana is it on Wed 18 May? Bava
At sunrise the lead was 137.8°: the first half of Dwadashi, Bava.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwadashi is Bava and the second Balava. Bava runs until 06:34, when the lead reaches 138°; Balava until 19:52.
Which vara is Wed 18 May, and from when? Budhawara
This day began at sunrise, 06:02 on Wednesday: Budhawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:02 to 06:02 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.
Which Hindu month is Wed 18 May in (amanta)? Vaishakha
This month began at the new moon of 7 May, with the Sun in Mesha: Vaishakha.
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: Mesha gives Vaishakha. The Sun enters Vrishabha on 14 May, inside the month. The next new moon, 5 Jun, finds it in Vrishabha and begins Jyeshtha.
Which Hindu month is Wed 18 May in (purnimanta)? Vaishakha
Counted full moon to full moon, this waxing half belongs to Vaishakha.
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 May, with the Sun in Mesha, began Vaishakha. This Shukla paksha reads Vaishakha in both counts.
Which samvat year is Wed 18 May in? Vikram 2073 · Shaka 1938
Vikram Samvat 2073 began at the Chaitra new moon of 7 Apr 2016.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 7 Apr 2016, 16:53 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 39.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2073; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1938.

What time is moonrise on Wed 18 May? 16:03
