How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Mon 16 May? Shukla Dashami
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 117.1°: 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, 06:03 here. Navami ended at 10:11 Sun, before it. Dashami ends at 12:20, when the lead reaches 120°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 6 May, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Mon 16 May? 04:48–05:25
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 04:48–05:25.
The night of Sun 15 May ran from sunset 20:42 Sun to sunrise 06:03, 9 h 21 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 37 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas
When is Abhijit Muhurat on Mon 16 May? 12:54–13:52
Abhijit is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight, the one around midday: 12:54–13:52.
When is Dur Muhurtam on Mon 16 May? 13:52–14:51
Dur Muhurtam is the 9th and 12th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 13:52–14:51 and 16:48–17:47.
When is Dur Muhurtam on Mon 16 May? 16:48–17:47
Dur Muhurtam is the 9th and 12th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 13:52–14:51 and 16:48–17:47.
Daylight here, 06:03 to 20:43, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 58 m. Abhijit is the 8th, the middle one. Dur Muhurtam on a Monday is the 9th and 12th, 13:52–14:51 and 16:48–17:47.
Which choghadiya is good on Mon 16 May?
06:03–07:53 is Amrita, ruled by Chandra (the Moon), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Monday's daylight, counted good.
Daylight here, 06:03 to 20:43, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 50 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.
The night here, 20:43 to 06:02 Tue, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 9 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 Mon 16 May? 07:53–09:43
Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 2nd of 8 equal parts of Monday's daylight: 07:53–09:43.
When is Yamagandam on Mon 16 May? 11:33–13:23
Yamaganda is the 4th of 8 equal parts of Monday's daylight: 11:33–13:23.
When is Gulika Kalam on Mon 16 May? 15:13–17:03
Gulikai Kalam is the 6th of 8 equal parts of Monday's daylight: 15:13–17:03.
Daylight here runs 06:03 to 20:43, 14 h 40 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 50 m, it gives the day's windows by weekday: on a Monday Rahu Kaal is the 2nd part, Yamaganda the 4th and Gulikai Kalam the 6th.

Which nakshatra is it on Mon 16 May? Uttara Phalguni
At sunrise the Moon was at 148.7°: Uttara Phalguni, pada 1.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Uttara Phalguni spans 146°40′–160°00′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 146°40′. It leaves at 04:49 Tue, for Hasta.
Which yoga is it on Mon 16 May? Harshana
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 180.3°: Harshana.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 31.6° + 148.7° = 180.3°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 173°20′–186°40′ is the 14th, Harshana. It ends at 17:51, then Vajra.
Which karana is it on Mon 16 May? Garaja
At sunrise the lead was 117.1°: 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 23:12 Sun, when the lead reached 114°; Garaja runs until 12:20.
Which vara is Mon 16 May, and from when? Somawara
This day began at sunrise, 06:03 on Monday: Somawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:03 to 06:02 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.
Which Hindu month is Mon 16 May in (amanta)? Vaishakha
This month began at the new moon of 6 May, with the Sun in Mesha: Vaishakha.
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: Mesha gives Vaishakha. The Sun enters Vrishabha on 14 May, inside the month. The next new moon, 5 Jun, finds it in Vrishabha and begins Jyeshtha.
Which Hindu month is Mon 16 May in (purnimanta)? Vaishakha
Counted full moon to full moon, this waxing half 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 6 May, with the Sun in Mesha, began Vaishakha. This Shukla paksha reads Vaishakha in both counts.
Which samvat year is Mon 16 May in? Vikram 2073 · Shaka 1938
Vikram Samvat 2073 began at the Chaitra new moon of 7 Apr 2016.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 7 Apr 2016, 14:23 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 37.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2073; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1938.
