How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Wed 8 Aug? Shukla Pratipada
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 2.1°: Shukla Pratipada.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 0°–12° is the 1st, Shukla Pratipada. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:56 here. Amavasya ended at 01:26, before it. Pratipada ends at 03:29 Thu, when the lead reaches 12°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 8 Aug, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
Why does New Delhi read Amavasya?
New Delhi reads Amavasya, Diffa reads Pratipada.

What time is Brahma Muhurta on Wed 8 Aug? 04:25–05:10
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 04:25–05:10.

When is Dur Muhurtam on Wed 8 Aug? 11:49–12:40
Dur Muhurtam is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 11:49–12:40.
Daylight here, 05:56 to 18:34, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 50 m. Dur Muhurtam on a Wednesday is the 8th, 11:49–12:40: it takes the 8th, the middle one, so a Wednesday has no Abhijit.
Which choghadiya is good on Wed 8 Aug?
05:56–07:30 is Labha, ruled by Budha (Mercury), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Wednesday's daylight, counted good.
Daylight here, 05:56 to 18:34, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 34 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 Wed 8 Aug? Ashlesha
At sunrise the Moon was at 113.9°: Ashlesha, pada 3.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Ashlesha spans 106°40′–120°00′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 113°20′. It leaves at 18:06, for Magha.
Which yoga is it on Wed 8 Aug? Vyatipata
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 225.7°: Vyatipata.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 111.8° + 113.9° = 225.7°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 213°20′–226°40′ is the 17th, Vyatipata. It ends at 07:37, then Variyana.
Which karana is it on Wed 8 Aug? Kinstughna
At sunrise the lead was 2.1°: the first half of Pratipada, Kinstughna.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Pratipada is Kinstughna and the second Bava. Kinstughna runs until 14:29, when the lead reaches 6°; Bava until 03:29 Thu.
Which vara is Wed 8 Aug, and from when? Budhawara
This day began at sunrise, 05:56 on Wednesday: Budhawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:56 to 05:56 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.
Which Hindu month is Wed 8 Aug in (amanta)? Shravana
This month began at the new moon of 8 Aug, with the Sun in Karka: Shravana.
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: Karka gives Shravana. The Sun enters Simha on 16 Aug, inside the month. The next new moon, 6 Sep, finds it in Simha and begins Bhadrapada.
Which Hindu month is Wed 8 Aug in (purnimanta)? Shravana
Counted full moon to full moon, this waxing half belongs to Shravana.
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 8 Aug, with the Sun in Karka, began Shravana. This Shukla paksha reads Shravana in both counts.
Which samvat year is Wed 8 Aug in? Vikram 2097 · Shaka 1962
Vikram Samvat 2097 began at the Chaitra new moon of 11 Apr 2040.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 11 Apr 2040, 15:00 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 113.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2097; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1962.
