How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Sun 8 May? Shukla Dwitiya
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 19.6°: Shukla Dwitiya.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 12°–24° is the 2nd, Shukla Dwitiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:45 here. Pratipada ended at 16:47 Sat, before it. Dwitiya ends at 13:21, when the lead reaches 24°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 6 May, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Sun 8 May? 04:15–05:00
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 04:15–05:00.
The night of Sat 7 May ran from sunset 18:26 Sat to sunrise 05:45, 11 h 19 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Dur Muhurtam is the 14th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 16:45–17:35.
Daylight here, 05:45 to 18:26, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 50 m. Abhijit is the 8th, the middle one. Dur Muhurtam on a Sunday is the 14th, 16:45–17:35.

The night here, 18:26 to 05:45 Mon, 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 Sun 8 May? Rohini
At sunrise the Moon was at 43.5°: Rohini, pada 2.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Rohini spans 40°00′–53°20′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 43°20′. It leaves at 21:36, for Mrigashira.
Which yoga is it on Sun 8 May? Atiganda
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 67.4°: Atiganda.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 23.9° + 43.5° = 67.4°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 66°40′–80°00′ is the 6th, Atiganda. It ends at 00:48 Mon, then Sukarma.
Which karana is it on Sun 8 May? Kaulava
At sunrise the lead was 19.6°: the second half of Dwitiya, Kaulava.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwitiya is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava ended at 03:01, when the lead reached 18°; Kaulava runs until 13:21.
Which vara is Sun 8 May, and from when? Raviwara
This day began at sunrise, 05:45 on Sunday: Raviwara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:45 to 05:45 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.
Which Hindu month is Sun 8 May in (amanta)? Vaishakha
This month began at the new moon of 6 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, 5 Jun, finds it in Vrishabha and begins Jyeshtha.
Which Hindu month is Sun 8 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 6 May, with the Sun in Mesha, began Vaishakha. This Shukla paksha reads Vaishakha in both counts.
Which samvat year is Sun 8 May 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 29.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2073; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1938.
