How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Mon 21 Mar? Shukla Trayodashi
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 154.8°: 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, 06:12 here. Dwadashi ended at 07:02 Sun, before it. Trayodashi ends at 08:41, when the lead reaches 156°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 9 Mar, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Mon 21 Mar? 04:37–05:25
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 04:37–05:25.
The night of Sun 20 Mar ran from sunset 18:20 Sun to sunrise 06:12, 11 h 52 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 47 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas
When is Abhijit Muhurat on Mon 21 Mar? 11:52–12:41
Abhijit is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight, the one around midday: 11:52–12:41.
When is Dur Muhurtam on Mon 21 Mar? 12:41–13:29
Dur Muhurtam is the 9th and 12th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 12:41–13:29 and 15:06–15:55.
When is Dur Muhurtam on Mon 21 Mar? 15:06–15:55
Dur Muhurtam is the 9th and 12th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 12:41–13:29 and 15:06–15:55.
Daylight here, 06:12 to 18:20, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m. Abhijit is the 8th, the middle one. Dur Muhurtam on a Monday is the 9th and 12th, 12:41–13:29 and 15:06–15:55.
Which choghadiya is good on Mon 21 Mar?
06:12–07:43 is Amrita, ruled by Chandra (the Moon), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Monday's daylight, counted good.
Daylight here, 06:12 to 18:20, 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.
The night here, 18:20 to 06:12 Tue, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 29 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 21 Mar? 07:43–09:14
Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 2nd of 8 equal parts of Monday's daylight: 07:43–09:14.
When is Yamagandam on Mon 21 Mar? 10:45–12:16
Yamaganda is the 4th of 8 equal parts of Monday's daylight: 10:45–12:16.
When is Gulika Kalam on Mon 21 Mar? 13:47–15:18
Gulikai Kalam is the 6th of 8 equal parts of Monday's daylight: 13:47–15:18.
Daylight here runs 06:12 to 18:20, 12 h 8 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 31 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 21 Mar? Magha
At sunrise the Moon was at 131.8°: Magha, pada 4.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Magha spans 120°00′–133°20′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 130°. It leaves at 09:16, for Purva Phalguni.
Which yoga is it on Mon 21 Mar? Shula
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 468.7°, one turn and 108.7°: Shula.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 336.9° + 131.8° = 468.7°, one full turn and 108.7°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 106°40′–120°00′ is the 9th, Shula. It ends at 02:53 Tue, then Ganda.
Which karana is it on Mon 21 Mar? Taitila
At sunrise the lead was 154.8°: 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 19:48 Sun, when the lead reached 150°; Taitila runs until 08:41.
Which vara is Mon 21 Mar, and from when? Somawara
This day began at sunrise, 06:12 on Monday: Somawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:12 to 06:12 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.
Which Hindu month is Mon 21 Mar in (amanta)? Phalguna
This month began at the new moon of 9 Mar, with the Sun in Kumbha: Phalguna.
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: Kumbha gives Phalguna. The Sun enters Meena on 14 Mar, inside the month. The next new moon, 7 Apr, finds it in Meena and begins Chaitra.
Which Hindu month is Mon 21 Mar in (purnimanta)? Phalguna
Counted full moon to full moon, this waxing half belongs to Phalguna.
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 9 Mar, with the Sun in Kumbha, began Phalguna. This Shukla paksha reads Phalguna in both counts.
Which samvat year is Mon 21 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 361.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2072; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1937.
