How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Sat 1 May? Krishna Ashtami
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 268.7°: Krishna Ashtami.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 264°–276° is the 23rd, Krishna Ashtami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 04:59 here. Saptami ended at 18:39 Fri, before it. Ashtami ends at 20:59, when the lead reaches 276°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 23 Apr, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Sat 1 May? 03:38–04:19
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 03:38–04:19.
The night of Fri 30 Apr ran from sunset 18:54 Fri to sunrise 04:59, 10 h 5 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 40 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

When is Dur Muhurtam on Sat 1 May? 05:55–06:50

Daylight here, 04:59 to 18:55, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 55 m. Abhijit is the 8th, the middle one. Dur Muhurtam on a Saturday is the 1st and 2nd, 04:59–05:55 and 05:55–06:50.
Which choghadiya is good on Sat 1 May?
04:59–06:43 is Kala, ruled by Shani (Saturn), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Saturday's daylight, counted bad.
Daylight here, 04:59 to 18:55, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 44 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.
The night here, 18:55 to 04:58 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 15 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

Which nakshatra is it on Sat 1 May? Shravana
At sunrise the Moon was at 286.2°: Shravana, pada 2.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Shravana spans 280°00′–293°20′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 283°20′. It leaves at 19:24, for Dhanishtha.
Which yoga is it on Sat 1 May? Shubha
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 303.7°: Shubha.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 17.5° + 286.2° = 303.7°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 293°20′–306°40′ is the 23rd, Shubha. It ends at 10:35, then Shukla.
Which karana is it on Sat 1 May? Balava
At sunrise the lead was 268.7°: the first half of Ashtami, Balava.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Ashtami is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava runs until 07:47, when the lead reaches 270°; Kaulava until 20:59.
Which vara is Sat 1 May, and from when? Shaniwara
This day began at sunrise, 04:59 on Saturday: Shaniwara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 04:59 to 04:58 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.
Which Hindu month is Sat 1 May in (amanta)? Chaitra
This month began at the new moon of 9 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 13 Apr, inside the month. The next new moon, 9 May, finds it in Mesha and begins Vaishakha.
Which Hindu month is Sat 1 May in (purnimanta)? Vaishakha
Counted full moon to full moon, this waning half already 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 9 May, with the Sun in Mesha, begins Vaishakha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Vaishakha here, and Chaitra in the amanta count.
Which samvat year is Sat 1 May in? Vikram 2005 · Shaka 1870
Vikram Samvat 2005 began at the Chaitra new moon of 9 Apr 1948.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 9 Apr 1948, 16:16 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 21° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2005; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1870.

What time is moonrise on Sat 1 May? 02:09 Sun
The Moon rises here at 02:09 Sun.
What time is moonset on Sat 1 May? 11:07
The Moon was up at sunrise and set at 11:07; it rises again at 02:09 Sun, so this day's moonrise falls in its night.
