How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Thu 18 May? Shukla Chaturthi
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 39.5°: Shukla Chaturthi.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 36°–48° is the 4th, Shukla Chaturthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:41 here. Tritiya ended at 22:18 Wed, before it. Chaturthi ends at 23:55, when the lead reaches 48°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 14 May, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Thu 18 May? 04:25–05:03
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 04:25–05:03.
The night of Wed 17 May ran from sunset 20:11 Wed to sunrise 05:41, 9 h 30 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 38 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

When is Dur Muhurtam on Thu 18 May? 16:19–17:17

Daylight here, 05:41 to 20:12, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 58 m. Abhijit is the 8th, the middle one. Dur Muhurtam on a Thursday is the 6th and 12th, 10:31–11:29 and 16:19–17:17.
Which choghadiya is good on Thu 18 May?
05:41–07:30 is Shubha, ruled by Guru (Jupiter), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Thursday's daylight, counted good.

Which nakshatra is it on Thu 18 May? Ardra
At sunrise the Moon was at 73°: Ardra, pada 2.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Ardra spans 66°40′–80°00′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 70°. It leaves at 19:22, for Punarvasu.
Which yoga is it on Thu 18 May? Dhriti
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 106.6°: Dhriti.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 33.6° + 73° = 106.6°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 93°20′–106°40′ is the 8th, Dhriti. It ends at 05:46, then Shula.
Which karana is it on Thu 18 May? Vanija
At sunrise the lead was 39.5°: the first half of Chaturthi, Vanija.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturthi is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija runs until 11:02, when the lead reaches 42°; Vishti until 23:55.
Which vara is Thu 18 May, and from when? Guruwara
This day began at sunrise, 05:41 on Thursday: Guruwara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:41 to 05:40 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.
Which Hindu month is Thu 18 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 Thu 18 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 Thu 18 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 61° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2018; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1883.
