How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Sat 2 May? Krishna Dashami
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 296.4°: Krishna Dashami.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 288°–300° is the 25th, Krishna Dashami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:59 here. Navami ended at 12:37 Fri, before it. Dashami ends at 13:29, when the lead reaches 300°. 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 2 May? 04:38–05:18
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 04:38–05:18.
The night of Fri 1 May ran from sunset 19:54 Fri to sunrise 05:59, 10 h 5 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 40 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas
When is Abhijit Muhurat on Sat 2 May? 12:29–13:25
Abhijit is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight, the one around midday: 12:29–13:25.

Dur Muhurtam is the 1st and 2nd of 15 equal parts of daylight: 05:59–06:54 and 06:54–07:50.
When is Dur Muhurtam on Sat 2 May? 06:54–07:50
Dur Muhurtam is the 1st and 2nd of 15 equal parts of daylight: 05:59–06:54 and 06:54–07:50.
Daylight here, 05:59 to 19:55, 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, 05:59–06:54 and 06:54–07:50.
Which choghadiya is good on Sat 2 May?
05:59–07:43 is Kala, ruled by Shani (Saturn), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Saturday's daylight, counted bad.
Daylight here, 05:59 to 19:55, 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, 19:55 to 05:57 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.
Daylight in 8 parts
When is Rahu Kaal on Sat 2 May? 09:28–11:12
Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 3rd of 8 equal parts of Saturday's daylight: 09:28–11:12.
When is Yamagandam on Sat 2 May? 14:41–16:26
Yamaganda is the 6th of 8 equal parts of Saturday's daylight: 14:41–16:26.
When is Gulika Kalam on Sat 2 May? 05:59–07:43

Daylight here runs 05:59 to 19:55, 13 h 56 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 44 m, it gives the day's windows by weekday: on a Saturday Rahu Kaal is the 3rd part, Yamaganda the 6th and Gulikai Kalam the 1st.

Which nakshatra is it on Sat 2 May? Shatabhisha
At sunrise the Moon was at 314.1°: Shatabhisha, pada 3.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Shatabhisha spans 306°40′–320°00′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 313°20′. It leaves at 17:28, for Purva Bhadrapada.
Which yoga is it on Sat 2 May? Brahma
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 331.7°: Brahma.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 17.6° + 314.1° = 331.7°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 320°00′–333°20′ is the 25th, Brahma. It ends at 08:54, then Indra.
Which karana is it on Sat 2 May? Vishti
At sunrise the lead was 296.4°: the second half of Dashami, Vishti.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dashami is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija ended at 00:58, when the lead reached 294°; Vishti runs until 13:29.
Which vara is Sat 2 May, and from when? Shaniwara
This day began at sunrise, 05:59 on Saturday: Shaniwara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:59 to 05:57 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.
Which Hindu month is Sat 2 May in (amanta)? Chaitra
This month began at the new moon of 8 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 14 Apr, inside the month. The next new moon, 8 May, finds it in Mesha and begins Vaishakha.
Which Hindu month is Sat 2 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 8 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 2 May in? Vikram 2016 · Shaka 1881
Vikram Samvat 2016 began at the Chaitra new moon of 8 Apr 1959.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 8 Apr 1959, 07:29 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 23.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2016; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1881.

What time is moonrise on Sat 2 May? 03:43 Sun
The Moon rises here at 03:43 Sun.
What time is moonset on Sat 2 May? 14:54
