How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Thu 24 May? Shukla Dashami
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 115.8°: Shukla Dashami.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 108°–120° is the 10th, Shukla Dashami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:42 here. Navami ended at 14:42 Wed, before it. Dashami ends at 13:48, when the lead reaches 120°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 15 May, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Thu 24 May? 04:12–04:57
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 04:12–04:57.
The night of Wed 23 May ran from sunset 18:30 Wed to sunrise 05:42, 11 h 12 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 44 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas
When is Abhijit Muhurat on Thu 24 May? 11:40–12:32
Abhijit is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight, the one around midday: 11:40–12:32.
When is Dur Muhurtam on Thu 24 May? 09:58–10:49
Dur Muhurtam is the 6th and 12th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 09:58–10:49 and 15:05–15:57.
When is Dur Muhurtam on Thu 24 May? 15:05–15:57
Dur Muhurtam is the 6th and 12th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 09:58–10:49 and 15:05–15:57.
Daylight here, 05:42 to 18:30, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 51 m. Abhijit is the 8th, the middle one. Dur Muhurtam on a Thursday is the 6th and 12th, 09:58–10:49 and 15:05–15:57.
Which choghadiya is good on Thu 24 May?
05:42–07:18 is Shubha, ruled by Guru (Jupiter), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Thursday's daylight, counted good.
Daylight here, 05:42 to 18:30, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 36 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.
The night here, 18:30 to 05:42 Fri, 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 Thu 24 May? 13:42–15:18
Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 6th of 8 equal parts of Thursday's daylight: 13:42–15:18.
When is Yamagandam on Thu 24 May? 05:42–07:18
Yamaganda is the 1st of 8 equal parts of Thursday's daylight: 05:42–07:18.
When is Gulika Kalam on Thu 24 May? 08:54–10:30
Gulikai Kalam is the 3rd of 8 equal parts of Thursday's daylight: 08:54–10:30.
Daylight here runs 05:42 to 18:30, 12 h 48 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 36 m, it gives the day's windows by weekday: on a Thursday Rahu Kaal is the 6th part, Yamaganda the 1st and Gulikai Kalam the 3rd.

What time is sunset on Thu 24 May? 18:30

Which nakshatra is it on Thu 24 May? Uttara Phalguni
At sunrise the Moon was at 154.7°: Uttara Phalguni, pada 3.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Uttara Phalguni spans 146°40′–160°00′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 153°20′. It leaves at 15:15, for Hasta.
Which yoga is it on Thu 24 May? Vajra
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 193.6°: Vajra.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 38.9° + 154.7° = 193.6°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 186°40′–200°00′ is the 15th, Vajra. It ends at 16:30, then Siddhi.
Which karana is it on Thu 24 May? Garaja
At sunrise the lead was 115.8°: the second half of Dashami, Garaja.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dashami is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila ended at 02:12, when the lead reached 114°; Garaja runs until 13:48.
Which vara is Thu 24 May, and from when? Guruwara
This day began at sunrise, 05:42 on Thursday: Guruwara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:42 to 05:42 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.
Which Hindu month is Thu 24 May in (amanta)? Jyeshtha (Adhik)
No sankranti between the new moons of 15 May and 13 Jun: Adhika Jyeshtha.
A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 15 May 12:47 Tue to 13 Jun 20:43 Wed the Sun stayed in Vrishabha, entering Mithuna at 15 Jun 07:06 Fri, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Jyeshtha, before Jyeshtha itself.
Which Hindu month is Thu 24 May in (purnimanta)? Jyeshtha (Adhik)
Counted full moon to full moon, this waxing half belongs to Jyeshtha (Adhik).
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 15 May, with the Sun in Vrishabha, began Jyeshtha (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Jyeshtha (Adhik) in both counts.
Which samvat year is Thu 24 May in? Vikram 2075 · Shaka 1940
Vikram Samvat 2075 began at the Chaitra new moon of 17 Mar 2018.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 17 Mar 2018, 14:11 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 66.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2075; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1940.
