How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Thu 12 May? Shukla Saptami
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 72.1°: Shukla Saptami.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 72°–84° is the 7th, Shukla Saptami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:44 here. Shashthi ended at 05:35, before it. Saptami ends at 05:40 Fri, when the lead reaches 84°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 6 May, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

Which nakshatra is it on Thu 12 May? Pushya
At sunrise the Moon was at 99.9°: 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 18:14, for Ashlesha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 27.8° + 99.9° = 127.7°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 120°00′–133°20′ is the 10th, Ganda. It ends at 15:23, then Vriddhi.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Saptami is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja runs until 17:31, when the lead reaches 78°; Vanija until 05:40 Fri.
Which vara is Thu 12 May, and from when? Guruwara
This day began at sunrise, 05:44 on Thursday: Guruwara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:44 to 05:44 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.
Which Hindu month is Thu 12 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 Thu 12 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 Thu 12 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 33.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2073; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1938.
