How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Sat 9 May? Krishna Ashtami
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 265.3°: Krishna Ashtami.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 264°–276° is the 23rd, Krishna Ashtami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:12 here. Saptami ended at 03:33, before it. Ashtami ends at 04:37 Sun, when the lead reaches 276°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 1 May, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.
Why does New Delhi read Saptami?
New Delhi reads Saptami, Cuenca reads Ashtami.

Which nakshatra is it on Sat 9 May? Shravana
At sunrise the Moon was at 289.9°: Shravana, pada 3.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Shravana spans 280°00′–293°20′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 286°40′. It leaves at 12:54, for Dhanishtha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 24.6° + 289.9° = 314.5°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 306°40′–320°00′ is the 24th, Shukla. It ends at 16:05, then Brahma.
Which karana is it on Sat 9 May? Balava
At sunrise the lead was 265.3°: the first half of Ashtami, Balava.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Ashtami is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava runs until 16:10, when the lead reaches 270°; Kaulava until 04:37 Sun.
Which vara is Sat 9 May, and from when? Shaniwara
This day began at sunrise, 06:12 on Saturday: Shaniwara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:12 to 06:12 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.
Which Hindu month is Sat 9 May in (amanta)? Vaishakha
This month began at the new moon of 17 Apr, 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, 16 May, finds it in Vrishabha and begins Jyeshtha.
Which Hindu month is Sat 9 May in (purnimanta)? Jyeshtha
Counted full moon to full moon, this waning half already belongs to Jyeshtha.
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 16 May, with the Sun in Vrishabha, begins Jyeshtha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Jyeshtha here, and Vaishakha in the amanta count.
Which samvat year is Sat 9 May in? Vikram 2083 · Shaka 1948
Vikram Samvat 2083 began at the Chaitra new moon of 18 Mar 2026.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 18 Mar 2026, 20:23 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 50.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
