How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Thu 8 Apr? Shukla Dwitiya
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 14.8°: 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, 06:21 here. Pratipada ended at 00:59, before it. Dwitiya ends at 23:40, when the lead reaches 24°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 7 Apr, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Thu 8 Apr? 04:42–05:32
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 04:42–05:32.
The night of Wed 7 Apr ran from sunset 17:55 Wed to sunrise 06:21, 12 h 26 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 49 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas
When is Abhijit Muhurat on Thu 8 Apr? 11:45–12:31
Abhijit is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight, the one around midday: 11:45–12:31.
When is Dur Muhurtam on Thu 8 Apr? 10:12–10:58
Dur Muhurtam is the 6th and 12th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 10:12–10:58 and 14:49–15:35.
When is Dur Muhurtam on Thu 8 Apr? 14:49–15:35
Dur Muhurtam is the 6th and 12th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 10:12–10:58 and 14:49–15:35.
Daylight here, 06:21 to 17:54, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 46 m. Abhijit is the 8th, the middle one. Dur Muhurtam on a Thursday is the 6th and 12th, 10:12–10:58 and 14:49–15:35.
Which choghadiya is good on Thu 8 Apr?
06:21–07:48 is Shubha, ruled by Guru (Jupiter), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Thursday's daylight, counted good.
Daylight here, 06:21 to 17:54, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 26 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.
The night here, 17:54 to 06:22 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 33 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

Daylight here runs 06:21 to 17:54, 11 h 33 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 26 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 8 Apr? Ashwini
At sunrise the Moon was at 8.7°: Ashwini, pada 3.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Ashwini spans 0°00′–13°20′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 6°40′. It leaves at 14:29, for Bharani.
Which yoga is it on Thu 8 Apr? Vishkambha
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 362.6°, one turn and 2.6°: Vishkambha.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 353.9° + 8.7° = 362.6°, one full turn and 2.6°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 0°00′–13°20′ is the 1st, Vishkambha. It ends at 23:55, then Priti.
Which karana is it on Thu 8 Apr? Balava
At sunrise the lead was 14.8°: the first half of Dwitiya, Balava.
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 runs until 12:22, when the lead reaches 18°; Kaulava until 23:40.
Which vara is Thu 8 Apr, and from when? Guruwara
This day began at sunrise, 06:21 on Thursday: Guruwara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:21 to 06:22 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.
Which Hindu month is Thu 8 Apr in (amanta)? Chaitra
This month began at the new moon of 7 Apr, with the Sun in Meena: Chaitra.
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: Meena gives Chaitra. The Sun enters Mesha on 14 Apr, inside the month. The next new moon, 6 May, finds it in Mesha and begins Vaishakha.
Which Hindu month is Thu 8 Apr in (purnimanta)? Chaitra
Counted full moon to full moon, this waxing half belongs to Chaitra.
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 7 Apr, with the Sun in Meena, began Chaitra. This Shukla paksha reads Chaitra in both counts.
Which samvat year is Thu 8 Apr in? Vikram 2084 · Shaka 1949
Vikram Samvat 2084 began at the Chaitra new moon of 7 Apr 2027.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 7 Apr 2027, 01:51 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 1.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2084; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1949.

What time is moonrise on Thu 8 Apr? 07:44
