How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Mon 8 Aug? Shukla Shashthi
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 65°: Shukla Shashthi.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 60°–72° is the 6th, Shukla Shashthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:21 here. Panchami ended at 19:28 Sun, before it. Shashthi ends at 21:44, when the lead reaches 72°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 2 Aug, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

Which nakshatra is it on Mon 8 Aug? Chitra

Which vara is Mon 8 Aug, and from when? Somawara
This day began at sunrise, 06:21 on Monday: Somawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:21 to 06:21 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.
Which Hindu month is Mon 8 Aug in (amanta)? Shravana
This month began at the new moon of 2 Aug, with the Sun in Karka: Shravana.
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: Karka gives Shravana. The Sun enters Simha on 16 Aug, inside the month. The next new moon, 1 Sep, finds it in Simha and begins Bhadrapada.
Which Hindu month is Mon 8 Aug in (purnimanta)? Shravana
Counted full moon to full moon, this waxing half belongs to Shravana.
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 2 Aug, with the Sun in Karka, began Shravana. This Shukla paksha reads Shravana in both counts.
Which samvat year is Mon 8 Aug 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, 06:23 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 118.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2073; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1938.
