How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Sat 18 May? Shukla Dwadashi
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 132.7°: Shukla Dwadashi.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 132°–144° is the 12th, Shukla Dwadashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 04:41 here. Ekadashi ended at 03:26, before it. Dwadashi ends at 00:38 Sun, when the lead reaches 144°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 7 May, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
Why does New Delhi read Ekadashi?
New Delhi reads Ekadashi, Sevan reads Dwadashi.
A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.
New Delhi · IST
Sunrise here, 05:28, came before Ekadashi ended at 05:56: this day reads Ekadashi. Dwadashi ends at 03:08 Sun, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Dwadashi: it is kshaya.

Which nakshatra is it on Sat 18 May? Hasta
At sunrise the Moon was at 166.6°: Hasta, pada 2.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Hasta spans 160°00′–173°20′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 163°20′. It leaves at 15:43, for Chitra.
Which yoga is it on Sat 18 May? Siddhi
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 200.5°: Siddhi.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 33.9° + 166.6° = 200.5°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 200°00′–213°20′ is the 16th, Siddhi. It ends at 00:24 Sun, then Vyatipata.
Which karana is it on Sat 18 May? Bava
At sunrise the lead was 132.7°: the first half of Dwadashi, Bava.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwadashi is Bava and the second Balava. Bava runs until 14:02, when the lead reaches 138°; Balava until 00:38 Sun.
Which vara is Sat 18 May, and from when? Shaniwara
This day began at sunrise, 04:41 on Saturday: Shaniwara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 04:41 to 04:40 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.
Which Hindu month is Sat 18 May in (amanta)? Vaishakha
This month began at the new moon of 7 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 14 May, inside the month. The next new moon, 6 Jun, finds it in Vrishabha and begins Jyeshtha.
Which Hindu month is Sat 18 May in (purnimanta)? Vaishakha
Counted full moon to full moon, this waxing half belongs to Vaishakha.
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 May, with the Sun in Mesha, began Vaishakha. This Shukla paksha reads Vaishakha in both counts.
Which samvat year is Sat 18 May in? Vikram 1997 · Shaka 1862
Vikram Samvat 1997 began at the Chaitra new moon of 7 Apr 1940.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 7 Apr 1940, 23:18 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 39.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1997; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1862.
