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, 05:08 here. Ashtami ended at 09:05 Thu, before it. Navami ends at 06:51, when the lead reaches 108°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 11 Jul, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dashami began at 06:51 and ended at 04:43 Sat, between the sunrises of 05:08 and 05:09 Sat. Friday reads Navami and Saturday reads Ekadashi: Dashami is a kshaya tithi here.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

Sunrise here, 05:36, came after Navami ended at 04:21: this day reads Dashami.

Baoding · UTC+8

Sunrise here, 05:08, came before Navami ended at 06:51: this day reads Navami. Dashami ends at 04:43 Sat, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Dashami: it is kshaya.

The night of Thu 19 Jul ran from sunset 19:40 Thu to sunrise 05:08, 9 h 28 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 37 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:08 to 19:39, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 48 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:39 to 05:09 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 11 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Vishakha spans 200°00′–213°20′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 200°. It leaves at 03:21 Sat, for Anuradha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 93.2° + 200.3° = 293.5°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 293°20′–306°40′ is the 23rd, Shubha. It ends at 02:09 Sat, then Shukla.

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 ended at 19:57 Thu, when the lead reached 102°; Kaulava runs until 06:51.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:08 to 05:09 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

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: Mithuna gives Ashadha. The Sun enters Karka on 16 Jul, inside the month. The next new moon, 10 Aug, finds it in Karka and begins Shravana.

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 11 Jul, with the Sun in Mithuna, began Ashadha. This Shukla paksha reads Ashadha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 15 Mar 2029, 12:19 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 122.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2086; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1951.
