Rahu Kaal, Abhijit Muhurat, Choghadiya and Hora are fractions of the local day, so they move with sunrise and sunset. Meerut sits at 28.98°N, 77.71°E, 228 m above sea level, in the Asia/Kolkata time zone.
Tithi and Nakshatra end at the same instant everywhere, but the local clock time differs, and the Tithi at Meerut's own sunrise decides which date a festival or vrat falls on here.
Shukla Dashami is the tithi at sunrise (05:53 AM) in Meerut and lasts until 11:22 AM. The tithi at sunrise names the day.
Ashlesha (pada 4), until 08:18 AM.
Sunrise is at 05:53 AM and sunset at 06:46 PM, local time, for Meerut's own coordinates.
10:43 AM to 12:19 PM. Rahu Kaal is one-eighth of the daytime, so it moves with Meerut's sunrise and sunset.

04:24 AM to 05:08 AM: the 14th of the night's 15 muhurtas, ending one muhurta (about 48 minutes) before sunrise, traditionally kept for prayer and study.

A Panchang is the Hindu almanac. For each day it gives five details (panch anga, "five parts"): Tithi (lunar day), Vara (weekday), Nakshatra (the Moon's lunar mansion), Yoga (a Sun–Moon combination) and Karana (half a Tithi), along with sunrise-based timings used to choose a Muhurat.
Rahu Kaal is one-eighth of the daytime (sunrise to sunset), assigned to Rahu by weekday. Traditionally people avoid starting new ventures, signing agreements or beginning journeys in it. Because it depends on local sunrise and sunset, it differs from city to city and day to day.
A Tithi is the time the Moon takes to gain 12° on the Sun, so it can end at any hour. By convention the Tithi prevailing at sunrise names the day, which is why a festival can fall on a different civil date in different places.
