How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Sat 23 May? Shukla Saptami
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 82.6°: Shukla Saptami.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 72°–84° is the 7th, Shukla Saptami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 04:59 here. Shashthi ended at 08:55 Fri, before it. Saptami ends at 07:34, when the lead reaches 84°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 17 May, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
Why does New Delhi read Ashtami?
New Delhi reads Ashtami, Baoding reads Saptami.

Which nakshatra is it on Sat 23 May? Magha
At sunrise the Moon was at 120.2°: Magha, pada 1.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Magha spans 120°00′–133°20′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 120°. It leaves at 04:39 Sun, for Purva Phalguni.
Which yoga is it on Sat 23 May? Dhruva
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 157.8°: Dhruva.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 37.6° + 120.2° = 157.8°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 146°40′–160°00′ is the 12th, Dhruva. It ends at 08:43, then Vyaghata.
Which karana is it on Sat 23 May? Vanija
At sunrise the lead was 82.6°: the second half of Saptami, Vanija.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Saptami is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja ended at 20:09 Fri, when the lead reached 78°; Vanija runs until 07:34.
Which vara is Sat 23 May, and from when? Shaniwara
This day began at sunrise, 04:59 on Saturday: Shaniwara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 04:59 to 04:58 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.
Which Hindu month is Sat 23 May in (amanta)? Jyeshtha (Adhik)
No sankranti between the new moons of 17 May and 15 Jun: Adhika Jyeshtha.
A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 17 May 04:01 Sun to 15 Jun 10:54 Mon the Sun stayed in Vrishabha, entering Mithuna at 15 Jun 15:22 Mon, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Jyeshtha, before Jyeshtha itself.
Which Hindu month is Sat 23 May in (purnimanta)? Jyeshtha (Adhik)
Counted full moon to full moon, this waxing half belongs to Jyeshtha (Adhik).
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 17 May, with the Sun in Vrishabha, began Jyeshtha (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Jyeshtha (Adhik) in both counts.
Which samvat year is Sat 23 May 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, 09:23 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 63.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
