How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Thu 20 Aug? Shukla Tritiya
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 33.6°: Shukla Tritiya.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 24°–36° is the 3rd, Shukla Tritiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:14 here. Dwitiya ended at 08:36 Wed, before it. Tritiya ends at 10:24, when the lead reaches 36°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 17 Aug, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Thu 20 Aug? 03:51–04:33
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 03:51–04:33.
The night of Wed 19 Aug ran from sunset 18:52 Wed to sunrise 05:14, 10 h 22 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 41 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Which nakshatra is it on Thu 20 Aug? Uttara Phalguni
At sunrise the Moon was at 157.5°: Uttara Phalguni, pada 4.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Uttara Phalguni spans 146°40′–160°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 156°40′. It leaves at 10:12, for Hasta.
Which yoga is it on Thu 20 Aug? Sadhya
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 281.4°: Sadhya.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 123.9° + 157.5° = 281.4°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 280°00′–293°20′ is the 22nd, Sadhya. It ends at 03:18 Fri, then Shubha.
Which karana is it on Thu 20 Aug? Garaja
At sunrise the lead was 33.6°: the second half of Tritiya, Garaja.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Tritiya is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila ended at 21:27 Wed, when the lead reached 30°; Garaja runs until 10:24.
Which vara is Thu 20 Aug, and from when? Guruwara
This day began at sunrise, 05:14 on Thursday: Guruwara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:14 to 05:15 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.
Which Hindu month is Thu 20 Aug in (amanta)? Bhadrapada (Adhik)
No sankranti between the new moons of 17 Aug and 15 Sep: Adhika Bhadrapada.
A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 17 Aug 06:20 Mon to 15 Sep 20:41 Tue the Sun stayed in Simha, entering Kanya at 16 Sep 04:01 Wed, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Bhadrapada, before Bhadrapada itself.
Which Hindu month is Thu 20 Aug in (purnimanta)? Bhadrapada (Adhik)
Counted full moon to full moon, this waxing half belongs to Bhadrapada (Adhik).
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 17 Aug, with the Sun in Simha, began Bhadrapada (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Bhadrapada (Adhik) in both counts.
Which samvat year is Thu 20 Aug in? Vikram 1993 · Shaka 1858
Vikram Samvat 1993 began at the Chaitra new moon of 23 Mar 1936.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 23 Mar 1936, 07:13 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 144.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1993; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1858.
