How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Sun 22 Mar? Shukla Tritiya
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 25.4°: Shukla Tritiya.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 24°–36° is the 3rd, Shukla Tritiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:12 here. Dwitiya ended at 03:45, before it. Tritiya ends at 00:56 Mon, when the lead reaches 36°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 20 Mar, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
Why does New Delhi read Dwitiya?
New Delhi reads Dwitiya, Diffa reads Tritiya.
A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.
New Delhi · IST
Sunrise here, 06:23, came before Dwitiya ended at 08:15: this day reads Dwitiya. Tritiya ends at 05:26 Mon, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Tritiya: it is kshaya.

Which nakshatra is it on Sun 22 Mar? Ashwini
At sunrise the Moon was at 2.6°: Ashwini, pada 1.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Ashwini spans 0°00′–13°20′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 0°. It leaves at 23:53, for Bharani.
Which yoga is it on Sun 22 Mar? Indra
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 339.8°: Indra.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 337.2° + 2.6° = 339.8°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 333°20′–346°40′ is the 26th, Indra. It ends at 16:46, then Vaidhriti.
Which karana is it on Sun 22 Mar? Taitila
At sunrise the lead was 25.4°: the first half of Tritiya, Taitila.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Tritiya is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila runs until 14:17, when the lead reaches 30°; Garaja until 00:56 Mon.
Which vara is Sun 22 Mar, and from when? Raviwara
This day began at sunrise, 06:12 on Sunday: Raviwara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:12 to 06:12 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.
Which Hindu month is Sun 22 Mar in (amanta)? Chaitra
This month began at the new moon of 20 Mar, with the Sun in Meena: Chaitra.
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: Meena gives Chaitra. The Sun enters Mesha on 14 Apr, inside the month. The next new moon, 18 Apr, finds it in Mesha and begins Vaishakha.
Which Hindu month is Sun 22 Mar in (purnimanta)? Chaitra
Counted full moon to full moon, this waxing half belongs to Chaitra.
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 20 Mar, with the Sun in Meena, began Chaitra. This Shukla paksha reads Chaitra in both counts.
Which samvat year is Sun 22 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, 10:36 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 1.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2072; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1937.
