How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Thu 16 Dec? Shukla Chaturthi
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 42.3°: 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, 05:32 here. Tritiya ended at 17:17 Wed, before it. Chaturthi ends at 16:32, when the lead reaches 48°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 12 Dec, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Thu 16 Dec? 04:06–04:49
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 04:06–04:49.
The night of Wed 15 Dec ran from sunset 18:43 Wed to sunrise 05:32, 10 h 49 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 43 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas
When is Abhijit Muhurat on Thu 16 Dec? 11:42–12:34
Abhijit is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight, the one around midday: 11:42–12:34.
When is Dur Muhurtam on Thu 16 Dec? 09:56–10:49
Dur Muhurtam is the 6th and 12th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 09:56–10:49 and 15:13–16:05.
When is Dur Muhurtam on Thu 16 Dec? 15:13–16:05
Dur Muhurtam is the 6th and 12th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 09:56–10:49 and 15:13–16:05.
Daylight here, 05:32 to 18:44, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 52 m. Abhijit is the 8th, the middle one. Dur Muhurtam on a Thursday is the 6th and 12th, 09:56–10:49 and 15:13–16:05.
Which choghadiya is good on Thu 16 Dec?
05:32–07:11 is Shubha, ruled by Guru (Jupiter), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Thursday's daylight, counted good.
Daylight here, 05:32 to 18:44, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 38 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.
The night here, 18:44 to 05:33 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 21 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 16 Dec? 13:47–15:26

Gulikai Kalam is the 3rd of 8 equal parts of Thursday's daylight: 08:50–10:29.
Daylight here runs 05:32 to 18:44, 13 h 11 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 38 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.

Which nakshatra is it on Thu 16 Dec? Shravana
At sunrise the Moon was at 283.5°: Shravana, pada 2.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Shravana spans 280°00′–293°20′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 283°20′. It leaves at 23:04, for Dhanishtha.
Which yoga is it on Thu 16 Dec? Vyaghata
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 524.7°, one turn and 164.7°: Vyaghata.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 241.2° + 283.5° = 524.7°, one full turn and 164.7°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 160°00′–173°20′ is the 13th, Vyaghata. It ends at 19:55, then Harshana.
Which karana is it on Thu 16 Dec? Vishti
At sunrise the lead was 42.3°: the second half of Chaturthi, Vishti.
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 ended at 04:58, when the lead reached 42°; Vishti runs until 16:32.
Which vara is Thu 16 Dec, and from when? Guruwara
This day began at sunrise, 05:32 on Thursday: Guruwara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:32 to 05:33 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.
Which Hindu month is Thu 16 Dec in (amanta)? Margashirsha
This month began at the new moon of 12 Dec, with the Sun in Vrishchika: Margashirsha.
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: Vrishchika gives Margashirsha. The Sun enters Dhanu on 15 Dec, inside the month. The next new moon, 11 Jan, finds it in Dhanu and begins Pausha.
Which Hindu month is Thu 16 Dec in (purnimanta)? Margashirsha
Counted full moon to full moon, this waxing half belongs to Margashirsha.
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 12 Dec, with the Sun in Vrishchika, began Margashirsha. This Shukla paksha reads Margashirsha in both counts.
Which samvat year is Thu 16 Dec in? Vikram 1966 · Shaka 1831
Vikram Samvat 1966 began at the Chaitra new moon of 21 Mar 1909.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 21 Mar 1909, 17:11 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 263.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1966; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1831.
