How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Mon 4 Apr? Krishna Dwadashi
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 313.2°: Krishna Dwadashi.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 312°–324° is the 27th, Krishna Dwadashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:48 here. Ekadashi ended at 04:37, before it. Dwadashi ends at 02:07 Tue, when the lead reaches 324°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 23 Mar, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Mon 4 Apr? 05:18–06:03
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 05:18–06:03.
The night of Sun 3 Apr ran from sunset 19:30 Sun to sunrise 06:48, 11 h 18 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:48 to 19:31, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 50 m. Abhijit is the 8th, the middle one. Dur Muhurtam on a Monday is the 9th and 12th, 13:35–14:26 and 16:07–16:58.

Which nakshatra is it on Mon 4 Apr? Dhanishtha
At sunrise the Moon was at 303.9°: Dhanishtha, pada 4.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Dhanishtha spans 293°20′–306°40′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 303°20′. It leaves at 11:31, for Shatabhisha.
Which yoga is it on Mon 4 Apr? Shubha
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 654.6°, one turn and 294.6°: Shubha.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 350.7° + 303.9° = 654.6°, one full turn and 294.6°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 293°20′–306°40′ is the 23rd, Shubha. It ends at 01:44 Tue, then Shukla.
Which karana is it on Mon 4 Apr? Kaulava
At sunrise the lead was 313.2°: the first half of Dwadashi, Kaulava.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwadashi is Kaulava and the second Taitila. Kaulava runs until 15:27, when the lead reaches 318°; Taitila until 02:07 Tue.
Which vara is Mon 4 Apr, and from when? Somawara
This day began at sunrise, 06:48 on Monday: Somawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:48 to 06:47 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.
Which Hindu month is Mon 4 Apr in (amanta)? Phalguna
This month began at the new moon of 9 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 14 Mar, inside the month. The next new moon, 7 Apr, finds it in Meena and begins Chaitra.
Which Hindu month is Mon 4 Apr in (purnimanta)? Chaitra
Counted full moon to full moon, this waning half already belongs to Chaitra.
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 Apr, with the Sun in Meena, begins Chaitra. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Chaitra here, and Phalguna in the amanta count.
Which samvat year is Mon 4 Apr in? Vikram 2072 · Shaka 1937
Vikram Samvat 2072 began at the Chaitra new moon of 20 Mar 2015.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 20 Mar 2015, 13:06 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 375.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2072; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1937.
