How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Sat 14 May? Shukla Ashtami
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 95.6°: Shukla Ashtami.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 84°–96° is the 8th, Shukla Ashtami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:43 here. Saptami ended at 05:40 Fri, before it. Ashtami ends at 06:35, when the lead reaches 96°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 6 May, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
Why does Ashtami hold two sunrises?
Ashtami holds the sunrises of both Fri 13 and Sat 14 May here.
A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ashtami began at 05:40 Fri, before sunrise at 05:44 Fri, and ends at 06:35, after the next sunrise at 05:43. Both days read Ashtami: it is a vriddhi tithi here.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Sat 14 May? 04:13–04:58
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 04:13–04:58.
The night of Fri 13 May ran from sunset 18:27 Fri to sunrise 05:43, 11 h 16 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Abhijit is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight, the one around midday: 11:40–12:31.

When is Dur Muhurtam on Sat 14 May? 06:34–07:25
Dur Muhurtam is the 1st and 2nd of 15 equal parts of daylight: 05:43–06:34 and 06:34–07:25.
Daylight here, 05:43 to 18:28, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 51 m. Abhijit is the 8th, the middle one. Dur Muhurtam on a Saturday is the 1st and 2nd, 05:43–06:34 and 06:34–07:25.
Which choghadiya is good on Sat 14 May?
05:43–07:19 is Kala, ruled by Shani (Saturn), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Saturday's daylight, counted bad.
Daylight here, 05:43 to 18:28, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 35 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.
The night here, 18:28 to 05:43 Sun, 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.
Daylight in 8 parts
When is Rahu Kaal on Sat 14 May? 08:54–10:30
Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 3rd of 8 equal parts of Saturday's daylight: 08:54–10:30.

Which nakshatra is it on Sat 14 May? Magha
At sunrise the Moon was at 125.3°: Magha, pada 2.
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 2 at 123°20′. It leaves at 21:22, for Purva Phalguni.
Which yoga is it on Sat 14 May? Dhruva
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 155°: Dhruva.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 29.7° + 125.3° = 155°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 146°40′–160°00′ is the 12th, Dhruva. It ends at 14:38, then Vyaghata.
Which karana is it on Sat 14 May? Bava
At sunrise the lead was 95.6°: the second half of Ashtami, Bava.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Ashtami is Vishti and the second Bava. Vishti ended at 18:02 Fri, when the lead reached 90°; Bava runs until 06:35.
Which vara is Sat 14 May, and from when? Shaniwara
This day began at sunrise, 05:43 on Saturday: Shaniwara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:43 to 05:43 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.
Which Hindu month is Sat 14 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 Sat 14 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 Sat 14 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 35.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2073; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1938.
