How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Mon 12 May? Shukla Ashtami
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 90.5°: Shukla Ashtami.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 84°–96° is the 8th, Shukla Ashtami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:44 here. Saptami ended at 17:07 Sun, before it. Ashtami ends at 16:37, when the lead reaches 96°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 5 May, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Mon 12 May? 04:14–04:59
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 04:14–04:59.
The night of Sun 11 May ran from sunset 18:27 Sun to sunrise 05:44, 11 h 17 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas
When is Abhijit Muhurat on Mon 12 May? 11:40–12:31
Abhijit is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight, the one around midday: 11:40–12:31.
When is Dur Muhurtam on Mon 12 May? 12:31–13:22
Dur Muhurtam is the 9th and 12th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 12:31–13:22 and 15:04–15:54.
When is Dur Muhurtam on Mon 12 May? 15:04–15:54
Dur Muhurtam is the 9th and 12th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 12:31–13:22 and 15:04–15:54.
Daylight here, 05:44 to 18:27, 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, 12:31–13:22 and 15:04–15:54.
Which choghadiya is good on Mon 12 May?
05:44–07:19 is Amrita, ruled by Chandra (the Moon), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Monday's daylight, counted good.
Daylight here, 05:44 to 18:27, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 35 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.
The night here, 18:27 to 05:44 Tue, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 24 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.
Daylight in 8 parts
When is Rahu Kaal on Mon 12 May? 07:19–08:55

Daylight here runs 05:44 to 18:27, 12 h 43 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 35 m, it gives the day's windows by weekday: on a Monday Rahu Kaal is the 2nd part, Yamaganda the 4th and Gulikai Kalam the 6th.

Which nakshatra is it on Mon 12 May? Ashlesha
At sunrise the Moon was at 118.4°: Ashlesha, pada 4.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Ashlesha spans 106°40′–120°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 116°40′. It leaves at 08:44, for Magha.
Which yoga is it on Mon 12 May? Vriddhi
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 146.3°: Vriddhi.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 27.9° + 118.4° = 146.3°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 133°20′–146°40′ is the 11th, Vriddhi. It ends at 06:30, then Dhruva.
Which karana is it on Mon 12 May? Bava
At sunrise the lead was 90.5°: the second half of Ashtami, Bava.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Ashtami is Vishti and the second Bava. Vishti ended at 04:46, when the lead reached 90°; Bava runs until 16:37.
Which vara is Mon 12 May, and from when? Somawara
This day began at sunrise, 05:44 on Monday: Somawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:44 to 05:44 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.
Which Hindu month is Mon 12 May in (amanta)? Vaishakha
This month began at the new moon of 5 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, 3 Jun, finds it in Vrishabha and begins Jyeshtha.
Which Hindu month is Mon 12 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 5 May, with the Sun in Mesha, began Vaishakha. This Shukla paksha reads Vaishakha in both counts.
Which samvat year is Mon 12 May in? Vikram 2065 · Shaka 1930
Vikram Samvat 2065 began at the Chaitra new moon of 6 Apr 2008.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 6 Apr 2008, 04:55 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 35.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2065; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1930.
