How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Mon 18 Apr? Shukla Dwadashi
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 136.3°: Shukla Dwadashi.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 132°–144° is the 12th, Shukla Dwadashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:54 here. Ekadashi ended at 20:36 Sun, before it. Dwadashi ends at 22:49, when the lead reaches 144°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 7 Apr, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Mon 18 Apr? 04:22–05:08
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 04:22–05:08.
The night of Sun 17 Apr ran from sunset 18:22 Sun to sunrise 05:54, 11 h 32 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 46 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas
When is Abhijit Muhurat on Mon 18 Apr? 11:44–12:33
Abhijit is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight, the one around midday: 11:44–12:33.
When is Dur Muhurtam on Mon 18 Apr? 12:33–13:23
Dur Muhurtam is the 9th and 12th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 12:33–13:23 and 15:03–15:53.
When is Dur Muhurtam on Mon 18 Apr? 15:03–15:53
Dur Muhurtam is the 9th and 12th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 12:33–13:23 and 15:03–15:53.
Daylight here, 05:54 to 18:22, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 49 m. Abhijit is the 8th, the middle one. Dur Muhurtam on a Monday is the 9th and 12th, 12:33–13:23 and 15:03–15:53.
Which choghadiya is good on Mon 18 Apr?
05:54–07:28 is Amrita, ruled by Chandra (the Moon), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Monday's daylight, counted good.
Daylight here, 05:54 to 18:22, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 33 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.
The night here, 18:22 to 05:54 Tue, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 26 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 18 Apr? 07:28–09:01
Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 2nd of 8 equal parts of Monday's daylight: 07:28–09:01.
When is Yamagandam on Mon 18 Apr? 10:35–12:08
Yamaganda is the 4th of 8 equal parts of Monday's daylight: 10:35–12:08.
When is Gulika Kalam on Mon 18 Apr? 13:42–15:15
Gulikai Kalam is the 6th of 8 equal parts of Monday's daylight: 13:42–15:15.
Daylight here runs 05:54 to 18:22, 12 h 28 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 33 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 18 Apr? Purva Phalguni
At sunrise the Moon was at 140.8°: Purva Phalguni, pada 3.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Purva Phalguni spans 133°20′–146°40′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 140°. It leaves at 17:43, for Uttara Phalguni.
Which yoga is it on Mon 18 Apr? Vriddhi
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 145.3°: Vriddhi.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 4.5° + 140.8° = 145.3°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 133°20′–146°40′ is the 11th, Vriddhi. It ends at 08:27, then Dhruva.
Which karana is it on Mon 18 Apr? Bava
At sunrise the lead was 136.3°: the first half of Dwadashi, Bava.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwadashi is Bava and the second Balava. Bava runs until 09:40, when the lead reaches 138°; Balava until 22:49.
Which vara is Mon 18 Apr, and from when? Somawara
This day began at sunrise, 05:54 on Monday: Somawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:54 to 05:54 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.
Which Hindu month is Mon 18 Apr in (amanta)? Chaitra
This month began at the new moon of 7 Apr, 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 13 Apr, inside the month. The next new moon, 6 May, finds it in Mesha and begins Vaishakha.
Which Hindu month is Mon 18 Apr 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 7 Apr, with the Sun in Meena, began Chaitra. This Shukla paksha reads Chaitra in both counts.
Which samvat year is Mon 18 Apr in? Vikram 2073 · Shaka 1938
Vikram Samvat 2073 began at the Chaitra new moon of 7 Apr 2016.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 7 Apr 2016, 12:23 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 10.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2073; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1938.
