How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Thu 29 Feb? Krishna Saptami
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 261.1°: Krishna Saptami.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 252°–264° is the 22nd, Krishna Saptami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:11 here. Shashthi ended at 12:54 Wed, before it. Saptami ends at 11:50, when the lead reaches 264°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 23 Feb, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Thu 29 Feb? 04:39–05:25
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 04:39–05:25.
The night of Wed 28 Feb ran from sunset 18:39 Wed to sunrise 06:11, 11 h 32 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 46 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

When is Dur Muhurtam on Thu 29 Feb? 15:19–16:09
Dur Muhurtam is the 6th and 12th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 10:20–11:10 and 15:19–16:09.
Daylight here, 06:11 to 18:38, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 49 m. Abhijit is the 8th, the middle one. Dur Muhurtam on a Thursday is the 6th and 12th, 10:20–11:10 and 15:19–16:09.

Which nakshatra is it on Thu 29 Feb? Anuradha
At sunrise the Moon was at 217.7°: Anuradha, pada 2.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Anuradha spans 213°20′–226°40′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 216°40′. It leaves at 22:20, for Jyeshtha.
Which yoga is it on Thu 29 Feb? Harshana
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 534.3°, one turn and 174.3°: Harshana.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 316.6° + 217.7° = 534.3°, one full turn and 174.3°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 173°20′–186°40′ is the 14th, Harshana. It ends at 02:55 Fri, then Vajra.
Which karana is it on Thu 29 Feb? Bava
At sunrise the lead was 261.1°: the second half of Saptami, Bava.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Saptami is Vishti and the second Bava. Vishti ended at 00:17, when the lead reached 258°; Bava runs until 11:50.
Which vara is Thu 29 Feb, and from when? Guruwara
This day began at sunrise, 06:11 on Thursday: Guruwara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:11 to 06:12 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.
Which Hindu month is Thu 29 Feb in (amanta)? Magha
This month began at the new moon of 8 Feb, with the Sun in Makara: Magha.
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: Makara gives Magha. The Sun enters Kumbha on 12 Feb, inside the month. The next new moon, 8 Mar, finds it in Kumbha and begins Phalguna.
Which Hindu month is Thu 29 Feb in (purnimanta)? Phalguna
Counted full moon to full moon, this waning half already belongs to Phalguna.
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 Mar, with the Sun in Kumbha, begins Phalguna. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Phalguna here, and Magha in the amanta count.
Which samvat year is Thu 29 Feb in? Vikram 1996 · Shaka 1861
Vikram Samvat 1996 began at the Chaitra new moon of 20 Mar 1939.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 20 Mar 1939, 22:49 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 340.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1996; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1861.

What time is moonrise on Thu 29 Feb? 23:52
