How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Thu 18 May? Krishna Pratipada
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 186.6°: Krishna Pratipada.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 180°–192° is the 16th, Krishna Pratipada. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 04:41 here. Purnima ended at 17:11 Wed, before it. Pratipada ends at 13:55, when the lead reaches 192°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 17 May, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Thu 18 May? 03:25–04:03
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 03:25–04:03.
The night of Wed 17 May ran from sunset 19:10 Wed to sunrise 04:41, 9 h 31 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 38 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

When is Dur Muhurtam on Thu 18 May? 15:19–16:17
Dur Muhurtam is the 6th and 12th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 09:31–10:29 and 15:19–16:17.
Daylight here, 04:41 to 19:11, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 58 m. Abhijit is the 8th, the middle one. Dur Muhurtam on a Thursday is the 6th and 12th, 09:31–10:29 and 15:19–16:17.
Which choghadiya is good on Thu 18 May?
04:41–06:30 is Shubha, ruled by Guru (Jupiter), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Thursday's daylight, counted good.
Daylight here, 04:41 to 19:11, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 48 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.
The night here, 19:11 to 04:40 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 11 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

Daylight here runs 04:41 to 19:11, 14 h 30 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 48 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 18 May? Anuradha
At sunrise the Moon was at 220.7°: Anuradha, pada 3.
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 3 at 220°. It leaves at 14:16, for Jyeshtha.
Which yoga is it on Thu 18 May? Shiva
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 254.8°: Shiva.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 34.1° + 220.7° = 254.8°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 253°20′–266°40′ is the 20th, Shiva. It ends at 22:37, then Siddha.
Which karana is it on Thu 18 May? Kaulava
At sunrise the lead was 186.6°: the second half of Pratipada, Kaulava.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Pratipada is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava ended at 03:34, when the lead reached 186°; Kaulava runs until 13:55.
Which vara is Thu 18 May, and from when? Guruwara
This day began at sunrise, 04:41 on Thursday: Guruwara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 04:41 to 04:40 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.
Which Hindu month is Thu 18 May in (amanta)? Vaishakha
This month began at the new moon of 2 May, with the Sun in Mesha: Vaishakha.
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: Mesha gives Vaishakha. The Sun enters Vrishabha on 13 May, inside the month. The next new moon, 31 May, finds it in Vrishabha and begins Jyeshtha.
Which Hindu month is Thu 18 May in (purnimanta)? Jyeshtha
Counted full moon to full moon, this waning half already belongs to Jyeshtha.
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 31 May, with the Sun in Vrishabha, begins Jyeshtha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Jyeshtha here, and Vaishakha in the amanta count.
Which samvat year is Thu 18 May in? Vikram 1973 · Shaka 1838
Vikram Samvat 1973 began at the Chaitra new moon of 2 Apr 1916.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 2 Apr 1916, 19:20 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 44.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1973; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1838.
