How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Thu 20 Aug? Shukla Dashami
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 116.8°: Shukla Dashami.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 108°–120° is the 10th, Shukla Dashami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:14 here. Navami ended at 11:57 Wed, before it. Dashami ends at 11:33, when the lead reaches 120°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 9 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? Mula
At sunrise the Moon was at 240.3°: Mula, pada 1.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Mula spans 240°00′–253°20′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 240°. It leaves at 04:27 Fri, for Purva Ashadha.
Which yoga is it on Thu 20 Aug? Vishkambha
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 363.9°, one turn and 3.9°: Vishkambha.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 123.6° + 240.3° = 363.9°, one full turn and 3.9°. 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 21:04, then Priti.
Which karana is it on Thu 20 Aug? Garaja
At sunrise the lead was 116.8°: the second half of Dashami, Garaja.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dashami is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila ended at 23:51 Wed, when the lead reached 114°; Garaja runs until 11:33.
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)? Shravana
This month began at the new moon of 9 Aug, with the Sun in Karka: Shravana.
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: Karka gives Shravana. The Sun enters Simha on 16 Aug, inside the month. The next new moon, 8 Sep, finds it in Simha and begins Bhadrapada.
Which Hindu month is Thu 20 Aug in (purnimanta)? Shravana
Counted full moon to full moon, this waxing half belongs to Shravana.
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 Aug, with the Sun in Karka, began Shravana. This Shukla paksha reads Shravana in both counts.
Which samvat year is Thu 20 Aug in? Vikram 2010 · Shaka 1875
Vikram Samvat 2010 began at the Chaitra new moon of 15 Mar 1953.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 15 Mar 1953, 14:04 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 152.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2010; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1875.
