How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Sat 20 Feb? Shukla Trayodashi
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 150.7°: Shukla Trayodashi.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 144°–156° is the 13th, Shukla Trayodashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:30 here. Dwadashi ended at 16:56 Fri, before it. Trayodashi ends at 17:16, when the lead reaches 156°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 8 Feb, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Sat 20 Feb? 04:52–05:41
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 04:52–05:41.
The night of Fri 19 Feb ran from sunset 18:16 Fri to sunrise 06:30, 12 h 14 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

When is Dur Muhurtam on Sat 20 Feb? 07:17–08:04

Daylight here, 06:30 to 18:16, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 47 m. Abhijit is the 8th, the middle one. Dur Muhurtam on a Saturday is the 1st and 2nd, 06:30–07:17 and 07:17–08:04.
Which choghadiya is good on Sat 20 Feb?
06:30–07:58 is Kala, ruled by Shani (Saturn), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Saturday's daylight, counted bad.
Daylight here, 06:30 to 18:16, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 28 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.
The night here, 18:16 to 06:30 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 31 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 Sat 20 Feb? Pushya
At sunrise the Moon was at 97.6°: Pushya, pada 2.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Pushya spans 93°20′–106°40′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 96°40′. It leaves at 23:29, for Ashlesha.
Which yoga is it on Sat 20 Feb? Saubhagya
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 404.5°, one turn and 44.5°: Saubhagya.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 306.9° + 97.6° = 404.5°, one full turn and 44.5°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 40°00′–53°20′ is the 4th, Saubhagya. It ends at 21:47, then Shobhana.
Which karana is it on Sat 20 Feb? Taitila
At sunrise the lead was 150.7°: the second half of Trayodashi, Taitila.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Trayodashi is Kaulava and the second Taitila. Kaulava ended at 05:03, when the lead reached 150°; Taitila runs until 17:16.
Which vara is Sat 20 Feb, and from when? Shaniwara
This day began at sunrise, 06:30 on Saturday: Shaniwara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:30 to 06:30 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.
Which Hindu month is Sat 20 Feb in (amanta)? Magha
This month began at the new moon of 8 Feb, with the Sun in Makara: Magha.
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: Makara gives Magha. The Sun enters Kumbha on 13 Feb, inside the month. The next new moon, 9 Mar, finds it in Kumbha and begins Phalguna.
Which Hindu month is Sat 20 Feb in (purnimanta)? Magha
Counted full moon to full moon, this waxing half belongs to Magha.
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 8 Feb, with the Sun in Makara, began Magha. This Shukla paksha reads Magha in both counts.
Which samvat year is Sat 20 Feb 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 331.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2072; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1937.
