How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Thu 31 Dec? Shukla Dwitiya
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 22°: Shukla Dwitiya.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 12°–24° is the 2nd, Shukla Dwitiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:40 here. Pratipada ended at 12:30 Wed, before it. Dwitiya ends at 09:13, when the lead reaches 24°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 29 Dec, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Thu 31 Dec? 04:13–04:57
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 04:13–04:57.
The night of Wed 30 Dec ran from sunset 18:50 Wed to sunrise 05:40, 10 h 50 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 43 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas

Dur Muhurtam is the 6th and 12th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 10:03–10:56 and 15:20–16:12.
When is Dur Muhurtam on Thu 31 Dec? 15:20–16:12
Dur Muhurtam is the 6th and 12th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 10:03–10:56 and 15:20–16:12.
Daylight here, 05:40 to 18:50, 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, 10:03–10:56 and 15:20–16:12.
Which choghadiya is good on Thu 31 Dec?
05:40–07:19 is Shubha, ruled by Guru (Jupiter), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Thursday's daylight, counted good.
Daylight here, 05:40 to 18:50, 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, 18:50 to 05:40 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.

When is Rahu Kaal on Thu 31 Dec? 13:54–15:33

Daylight here runs 05:40 to 18:50, 13 h 10 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 31 Dec? Uttara Ashadha
At sunrise the Moon was at 277.6°: Uttara Ashadha, pada 4.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Uttara Ashadha spans 266°40′–280°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 276°40′. It leaves at 09:35, for Shravana.
Which yoga is it on Thu 31 Dec? Vyaghata
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 533.2°, one turn and 173.2°: Vyaghata.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 255.6° + 277.6° = 533.2°, one full turn and 173.2°. 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 05:51, then Harshana.
Which karana is it on Thu 31 Dec? Kaulava
At sunrise the lead was 22°: the second half of Dwitiya, Kaulava.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwitiya is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava ended at 22:48 Wed, when the lead reached 18°; Kaulava runs until 09:13.
Which vara is Thu 31 Dec, and from when? Guruwara
This day began at sunrise, 05:40 on Thursday: Guruwara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:40 to 05:40 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.
Which Hindu month is Thu 31 Dec in (amanta)? Pausha
This month began at the new moon of 29 Dec, with the Sun in Dhanu: Pausha.
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: Dhanu gives Pausha. The Sun enters Makara on 14 Jan, inside the month. The next new moon, 28 Jan, finds it in Makara and begins Magha.
Which Hindu month is Thu 31 Dec in (purnimanta)? Pausha
Counted full moon to full moon, this waxing half belongs to Pausha.
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 29 Dec, with the Sun in Dhanu, began Pausha. This Shukla paksha reads Pausha in both counts.
Which samvat year is Thu 31 Dec in? Vikram 2016 · Shaka 1881
Vikram Samvat 2016 began at the Chaitra new moon of 8 Apr 1959.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 8 Apr 1959, 00:29 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 261.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2016; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1881.
