How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Mon 16 May? Shukla Dashami
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 116.4°: 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, 06:00 here. Navami ended at 11:41 Sun, before it. Dashami ends at 13:50, when the lead reaches 120°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 6 May, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Mon 16 May? 04:41–05:20
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 04:41–05:20.
The night of Sun 15 May ran from sunset 20:05 Sun to sunrise 06:00, 9 h 55 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 39 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

When is Dur Muhurtam on Mon 16 May? 16:20–17:17

Which nakshatra is it on Mon 16 May? Uttara Phalguni
At sunrise the Moon was at 148°: Uttara Phalguni, pada 1.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Uttara Phalguni spans 146°40′–160°00′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 146°40′. It leaves at 06:19 Tue, for Hasta.
Which yoga is it on Mon 16 May? Harshana
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 179.5°: Harshana.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 31.5° + 148° = 179.5°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 173°20′–186°40′ is the 14th, Harshana. It ends at 19:21, then Vajra.
Which karana is it on Mon 16 May? Garaja
At sunrise the lead was 116.4°: the second half of Dashami, Garaja.
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 ended at 00:42, when the lead reached 114°; Garaja runs until 13:50.
Which vara is Mon 16 May, and from when? Somawara
This day began at sunrise, 06:00 on Monday: Somawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:00 to 05:59 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.
Which Hindu month is Mon 16 May in (amanta)? Vaishakha
This month began at the new moon of 6 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 Mon 16 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 6 May, with the Sun in Mesha, began Vaishakha. This Shukla paksha reads Vaishakha in both counts.
Which samvat year is Mon 16 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, 15:53 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 37.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2073; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1938.
