How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Sat 15 May? Shukla Chaturthi
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 37°: Shukla Chaturthi.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 36°–48° is the 4th, Shukla Chaturthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:43 here. Tritiya ended at 03:30, before it. Chaturthi ends at 05:31 Sun, when the lead reaches 48°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 11 May, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
Why does New Delhi read Tritiya?
New Delhi reads Tritiya, Diffa reads Chaturthi.

Which nakshatra is it on Sat 15 May? Ardra
At sunrise the Moon was at 67.5°: Ardra, pada 1.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Ardra spans 66°40′–80°00′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 66°40′. It leaves at 06:43 Sun, for Punarvasu.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 30.4° + 67.5° = 97.9°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 93°20′–106°40′ is the 8th, Dhriti. It ends at 21:57, then Shula.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturthi is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija runs until 16:33, when the lead reaches 42°; Vishti until 05:31 Sun.
Which vara is Sat 15 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 15 May in (amanta)? Vaishakha
This month began at the new moon of 11 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, 10 Jun, finds it in Vrishabha and begins Jyeshtha.
Which Hindu month is Sat 15 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 11 May, with the Sun in Mesha, began Vaishakha. This Shukla paksha reads Vaishakha in both counts.
Which samvat year is Sat 15 May in? Vikram 2078 · Shaka 1943
Vikram Samvat 2078 began at the Chaitra new moon of 12 Apr 2021.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 12 Apr 2021, 03:30 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 32.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2078; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1943.
