How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Fri 17 May? Shukla Saptami
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 78.7°: Shukla Saptami.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 72°–84° is the 7th, Shukla Saptami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:43 here. Shashthi ended at 15:20 Thu, before it. Saptami ends at 16:58, when the lead reaches 84°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 10 May, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Fri 17 May? 04:13–04:58
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 04:13–04:58.
The night of Thu 16 May ran from sunset 18:28 Thu to sunrise 05:43, 11 h 15 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas

Abhijit is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight, the one around midday: 11:40–12:31.

Dur Muhurtam is the 4th and 9th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 08:16–09:07 and 12:31–13:22.
When is Dur Muhurtam on Fri 17 May? 12:31–13:22
Dur Muhurtam is the 4th and 9th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 08:16–09:07 and 12:31–13:22.
Daylight here, 05:43 to 18:28, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 51 m. Abhijit is the 8th, the middle one. Dur Muhurtam on a Friday is the 4th and 9th, 08:16–09:07 and 12:31–13:22.
Which choghadiya is good on Fri 17 May?
05:43–07:18 is Chara, ruled by Shukra (Venus), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Friday's daylight, counted neutral.
Daylight here, 05:43 to 18:28, 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, 18:28 to 05:43 Sat, 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.

Which nakshatra is it on Fri 17 May? Ashlesha
At sunrise the Moon was at 111.1°: Ashlesha, pada 2.
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 2 at 110°. It leaves at 23:05, for Magha.
Which yoga is it on Fri 17 May? Vriddhi
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 143.5°: Vriddhi.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 32.4° + 111.1° = 143.5°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 133°20′–146°40′ is the 11th, Vriddhi. It ends at 11:27, then Dhruva.
Which karana is it on Fri 17 May? Vanija
At sunrise the lead was 78.7°: the second half of Saptami, Vanija.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Saptami is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja ended at 04:13, when the lead reached 78°; Vanija runs until 16:58.
Which vara is Fri 17 May, and from when? Shukrawara
This day began at sunrise, 05:43 on Friday: Shukrawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:43 to 05:43 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.
Which Hindu month is Fri 17 May in (amanta)? Vaishakha
This month began at the new moon of 10 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, 8 Jun, finds it in Vrishabha and begins Jyeshtha.
Which Hindu month is Fri 17 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 10 May, with the Sun in Mesha, began Vaishakha. This Shukla paksha reads Vaishakha in both counts.
Which samvat year is Fri 17 May in? Vikram 2070 · Shaka 1935
Vikram Samvat 2070 began at the Chaitra new moon of 10 Apr 2013.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 10 Apr 2013, 10:35 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 35.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2070; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1935.
