How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Mon 18 Aug? Krishna Dashami
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 295.5°: 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, 06:36 here. Navami ended at 16:54 Sun, before it. Dashami ends at 14:53, when the lead reaches 300°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 9 Aug, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Mon 18 Aug? 05:15–05:55
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 05:15–05:55.
The night of Sun 17 Aug ran from sunset 20:25 Sun to sunrise 06:36, 10 h 11 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 Mon 18 Aug? 13:02–13:57
Abhijit is the 8th of 15 equal parts of daylight, the one around midday: 13:02–13:57.
When is Dur Muhurtam on Mon 18 Aug? 13:57–14:52
Dur Muhurtam is the 9th and 12th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 13:57–14:52 and 16:43–17:38.
When is Dur Muhurtam on Mon 18 Aug? 16:43–17:38
Dur Muhurtam is the 9th and 12th of 15 equal parts of daylight: 13:57–14:52 and 16:43–17:38.
Daylight here, 06:36 to 20:23, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 55 m. Abhijit is the 8th, the middle one. Dur Muhurtam on a Monday is the 9th and 12th, 13:57–14:52 and 16:43–17:38.
Which choghadiya is good on Mon 18 Aug?
06:36–08:20 is Amrita, ruled by Chandra (the Moon), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Monday's daylight, counted good.
Daylight here, 06:36 to 20:23, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 43 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.
The night here, 20:23 to 06:37 Tue, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 16 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 18 Aug? 08:20–10:03
Rahu Kaal (Rahu Kalam) is the 2nd of 8 equal parts of Monday's daylight: 08:20–10:03.
When is Yamagandam on Mon 18 Aug? 11:46–13:30
Yamaganda is the 4th of 8 equal parts of Monday's daylight: 11:46–13:30.
When is Gulika Kalam on Mon 18 Aug? 15:13–16:57
Gulikai Kalam is the 6th of 8 equal parts of Monday's daylight: 15:13–16:57.
Daylight here runs 06:36 to 20:23, 13 h 47 m. Cut into 8 equal parts of 1 h 43 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 18 Aug? Mrigashira
At sunrise the Moon was at 56.7°: Mrigashira, pada 2.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Mrigashira spans 53°20′–66°40′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 56°40′. It leaves at 23:36, for Ardra.
Which yoga is it on Mon 18 Aug? Harshana
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 178°: Harshana.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 121.3° + 56.7° = 178°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 173°20′–186°40′ is the 14th, Harshana. It ends at 20:29, then Vajra.
Which karana is it on Mon 18 Aug? Vishti
At sunrise the lead was 295.5°: 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 03:52, when the lead reached 294°; Vishti runs until 14:53.
Which vara is Mon 18 Aug, and from when? Somawara
This day began at sunrise, 06:36 on Monday: Somawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:36 to 06:37 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.
Which Hindu month is Mon 18 Aug in (amanta)? Shravana
This month began at the new moon of 24 Jul, with the Sun in Karka: Shravana.
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: Karka gives Shravana. The Sun enters Simha on 16 Aug, inside the month. The next new moon, 23 Aug, finds it in Simha and begins Bhadrapada.
Which Hindu month is Mon 18 Aug in (purnimanta)? Bhadrapada
Counted full moon to full moon, this waning half already belongs to Bhadrapada.
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 23 Aug, with the Sun in Simha, begins Bhadrapada. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Bhadrapada here, and Shravana in the amanta count.
Which samvat year is Mon 18 Aug in? Vikram 2082 · Shaka 1947
Vikram Samvat 2082 began at the Chaitra new moon of 29 Mar 2025.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 29 Mar 2025, 12:57 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 136.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2082; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1947.
