How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Thu 8 Dec? Shukla Navami
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 100.8°: Shukla Navami.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 96°–108° is the 9th, Shukla Navami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:44 here. Ashtami ended at 22:34 Wed, before it. Navami ends at 21:06, when the lead reaches 108°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 29 Nov, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Thu 8 Dec? 05:45–06:45
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 05:45–06:45.
The night of Wed 7 Dec ran from sunset 16:53 Wed to sunrise 07:44, 14 h 51 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 59 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.
Daylight in 15 muhurtas

When is Dur Muhurtam on Thu 8 Dec? 14:26–15:03
Dur Muhurtam is the 6th and 12th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 10:47–11:23 and 14:26–15:03.
Daylight here, 07:44 to 16:52, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 36 m. Abhijit is the 8th, the middle one. Dur Muhurtam on a Thursday is the 6th and 12th, 10:47–11:23 and 14:26–15:03.
Which choghadiya is good on Thu 8 Dec?
07:44–08:53 is Shubha, ruled by Guru (Jupiter), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Thursday's daylight, counted good.
Daylight here, 07:44 to 16:52, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 8 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.
The night here, 16:52 to 07:45 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 51 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 Thu 8 Dec? Purva Bhadrapada
At sunrise the Moon was at 333.3°: Purva Bhadrapada, pada 4.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Purva Bhadrapada spans 320°00′–333°20′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 330°. It leaves at 07:46, for Uttara Bhadrapada.
Which yoga is it on Thu 8 Dec? Siddhi
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 565.8°, one turn and 205.8°: Siddhi.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 232.5° + 333.3° = 565.8°, one full turn and 205.8°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 200°00′–213°20′ is the 16th, Siddhi. It ends at 19:54, then Vyatipata.
Which karana is it on Thu 8 Dec? Balava
At sunrise the lead was 100.8°: the first half of Navami, Balava.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Navami is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava runs until 09:55, when the lead reaches 102°; Kaulava until 21:06.
Which vara is Thu 8 Dec, and from when? Guruwara
This day began at sunrise, 07:44 on Thursday: Guruwara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:44 to 07:45 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.
Which Hindu month is Thu 8 Dec in (amanta)? Margashirsha
This month began at the new moon of 29 Nov, with the Sun in Vrishchika: Margashirsha.
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: Vrishchika gives Margashirsha. The Sun enters Dhanu on 15 Dec, inside the month. The next new moon, 29 Dec, finds it in Dhanu and begins Pausha.
Which Hindu month is Thu 8 Dec in (purnimanta)? Margashirsha
Counted full moon to full moon, this waxing half belongs to Margashirsha.
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 29 Nov, with the Sun in Vrishchika, began Margashirsha. This Shukla paksha reads Margashirsha in both counts.
Which samvat year is Thu 8 Dec 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 238.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2073; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1938.
