How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Thu 17 Mar? Shukla Navami
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 104.9°: Shukla Navami.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 96°–108° is the 9th, Shukla Navami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:53 here. Ashtami ended at 12:33 Wed, before it. Navami ends at 12:02, when the lead reaches 108°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 9 Mar, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Thu 17 Mar? 04:17–05:05
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 04:17–05:05.
The night of Wed 16 Mar ran from sunset 17:58 Wed to sunrise 05:53, 11 h 55 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 47 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas
When is Abhijit Muhurat on Thu 17 Mar? 11:31–12:19
Abhijit is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight, the one around midday: 11:31–12:19.

Dur Muhurtam is the 6th and 12th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 09:54–10:43 and 14:44–15:33.
When is Dur Muhurtam on Thu 17 Mar? 14:44–15:33
Dur Muhurtam is the 6th and 12th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 09:54–10:43 and 14:44–15:33.
Daylight here, 05:53 to 17:58, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m. Abhijit is the 8th, the middle one. Dur Muhurtam on a Thursday is the 6th and 12th, 09:54–10:43 and 14:44–15:33.
Which choghadiya is good on Thu 17 Mar?
05:53–07:23 is Shubha, ruled by Guru (Jupiter), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Thursday's daylight, counted good.
Daylight here, 05:53 to 17:58, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 30 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.
The night here, 17:58 to 05:52 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 29 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

Daylight here runs 05:53 to 17:58, 12 h 5 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 30 m, it gives the day's windows by weekday: on a Thursday Rahu Kaal is the 6th part, Yamaganda the 1st and Gulikai Kalam the 3rd.

Which nakshatra is it on Thu 17 Mar? Ardra
At sunrise the Moon was at 77.5°: Ardra, pada 4.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Ardra spans 66°40′–80°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 76°40′. It leaves at 10:21, for Punarvasu.
Which yoga is it on Thu 17 Mar? Saubhagya
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 410.2°, one turn and 50.2°: Saubhagya.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 332.7° + 77.5° = 410.2°, one full turn and 50.2°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 40°00′–53°20′ is the 4th, Saubhagya. It ends at 11:11, then Shobhana.
Which karana is it on Thu 17 Mar? Kaulava
At sunrise the lead was 104.9°: the second half of Navami, Kaulava.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Navami is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava ended at 00:12, when the lead reached 102°; Kaulava runs until 12:02.
Which vara is Thu 17 Mar, and from when? Guruwara
This day began at sunrise, 05:53 on Thursday: Guruwara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:53 to 05:52 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.
Which Hindu month is Thu 17 Mar 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 Thu 17 Mar in (purnimanta)? Phalguna
Counted full moon to full moon, this waxing half belongs to Phalguna.
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 Mar, with the Sun in Kumbha, began Phalguna. This Shukla paksha reads Phalguna in both counts.
Which samvat year is Thu 17 Mar 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, 17:36 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 357.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2072; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1937.
