How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Tue 18 May? Shukla Trayodashi
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 152.2°: Shukla Trayodashi.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 144°–156° is the 13th, Shukla Trayodashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:01 here. Dwadashi ended at 13:58 Mon, before it. Trayodashi ends at 13:34, when the lead reaches 156°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 6 May, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Tue 18 May? 04:47–05:24
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 04:47–05:24.
The night of Mon 17 May ran from sunset 20:44 Mon to sunrise 06:01, 9 h 17 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 37 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

When is Dur Muhurtam on Tue 18 May? 08:58–09:57
Dur Muhurtam is the 4th of 15 equal parts of daylight, 08:58–09:57, and the 7th of the night's 15, 00:27 Wed–01:04 Wed.
When is Dur Muhurtam on Tue 18 May? 00:27–01:04 Wed
Dur Muhurtam is the 4th of 15 equal parts of daylight, 08:58–09:57, and the 7th of the night's 15, 00:27 Wed–01:04 Wed.
Daylight here, 06:01 to 20:45, is cut into 15 muhurtas of 58 m. Abhijit is the 8th, the middle one. Dur Muhurtam on a Tuesday is the 4th and the night's 7th, 08:58–09:57 and 00:27 Wed–01:04 Wed.
Which choghadiya is good on Tue 18 May?
06:01–07:52 is Roga, ruled by Mangala (Mars), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Tuesday's daylight, counted bad.
Daylight here, 06:01 to 20:45, 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, 20:45 to 06:00 Wed, 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.

Which nakshatra is it on Tue 18 May? Chitra
At sunrise the Moon was at 184.9°: Chitra, pada 4.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Chitra spans 173°20′–186°40′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 183°20′. It leaves at 09:13, for Swati.
Which yoga is it on Tue 18 May? Vyatipata
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 217.6°: Vyatipata.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 32.7° + 184.9° = 217.6°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 213°20′–226°40′ is the 17th, Vyatipata. It ends at 21:25, then Variyana.
Which karana is it on Tue 18 May? Taitila
At sunrise the lead was 152.2°: the second half of Trayodashi, Taitila.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Trayodashi is Kaulava and the second Taitila. Kaulava ended at 01:43, when the lead reached 150°; Taitila runs until 13:34.
Which vara is Tue 18 May, and from when? Mangalawara
This day began at sunrise, 06:01 on Tuesday: Mangalawara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:01 to 06:00 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.
Which Hindu month is Tue 18 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 15 May, inside the month. The next new moon, 4 Jun, finds it in Vrishabha and begins Jyeshtha.
Which Hindu month is Tue 18 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 Tue 18 May in? Vikram 2084 · Shaka 1949
Vikram Samvat 2084 began at the Chaitra new moon of 7 Apr 2027.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 7 Apr 2027, 02:51 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 40° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2084; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1949.
