How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Mon 15 May? Shukla Pratipada
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 4.5°: Shukla Pratipada.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 0°–12° is the 1st, Shukla Pratipada. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:43 here. Amavasya ended at 20:54 Sun, before it. Pratipada ends at 20:48, when the lead reaches 12°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 14 May, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Mon 15 May? 04:27–05:05
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 04:27–05:05.
The night of Sun 14 May ran from sunset 20:08 Sun to sunrise 05:43, 9 h 35 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 38 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

When is Dur Muhurtam on Mon 15 May? 16:18–17:16
Dur Muhurtam is the 9th and 12th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 13:25–14:23 and 16:18–17:16.
Daylight here, 05:43 to 20:09, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 57 m. Abhijit is the 8th, the middle one. Dur Muhurtam on a Monday is the 9th and 12th, 13:25–14:23 and 16:18–17:16.
Which choghadiya is good on Mon 15 May?
05:43–07:32 is Amrita, ruled by Chandra (the Moon), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Monday's daylight, counted good.
Daylight here, 05:43 to 20:09, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 48 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 Mon 15 May? Krittika
At sunrise the Moon was at 35.1°: Krittika, pada 3.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Krittika spans 26°40′–40°00′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 33°20′. It leaves at 14:41, for Rohini.
Which yoga is it on Mon 15 May? Shobhana
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 65.8°: Shobhana.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 30.7° + 35.1° = 65.8°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 53°20′–66°40′ is the 5th, Shobhana. It ends at 07:10, then Atiganda.
Which karana is it on Mon 15 May? Kinstughna
At sunrise the lead was 4.5°: the first half of Pratipada, Kinstughna.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Pratipada is Kinstughna and the second Bava. Kinstughna runs until 08:47, when the lead reaches 6°; Bava until 20:48.
Which vara is Mon 15 May, and from when? Somawara
This day began at sunrise, 05:43 on Monday: Somawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:43 to 05:42 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.
Which Hindu month is Mon 15 May in (amanta)? Jyeshtha (Adhik)
No sankranti between the new moons of 14 May and 13 Jun: Adhika Jyeshtha.
A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 14 May 20:54 Sun to 13 Jun 09:16 Tue the Sun stayed in Vrishabha, entering Mithuna at 14 Jun 19:29 Wed, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Jyeshtha, before Jyeshtha itself.
Which Hindu month is Mon 15 May in (purnimanta)? Jyeshtha (Adhik)
Counted full moon to full moon, this waxing half belongs to Jyeshtha (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 14 May, with the Sun in Vrishabha, began Jyeshtha (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Jyeshtha (Adhik) in both counts.
Which samvat year is Mon 15 May in? Vikram 2018 · Shaka 1883
Vikram Samvat 2018 began at the Chaitra new moon of 16 Mar 1961.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 16 Mar 1961, 22:50 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 58.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2018; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1883.
