The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 336°–348° is the 29th, Krishna Chaturdashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:32 here. Trayodashi ended at 09:20 Tue, before it. Chaturdashi ends at 09:08, when the lead reaches 348°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 2 Jul, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Tue 14 Jul ran from sunset 18:13 Tue to sunrise 05:32, 11 h 19 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:32 to 18:13, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 35 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:13 to 05:32 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 24 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′. Ardra spans 66°40′–80°00′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 73°20′. It leaves at 16:13, for Punarvasu.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 88.1° + 74.2° = 162.3°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 160°00′–173°20′ is the 13th, Vyaghata. It ends at 00:40 Thu, then Harshana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturdashi is Vishti and the second Shakuni. Vishti ended at 21:11 Tue, when the lead reached 342°; Shakuni runs until 09:08.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:32 to 05:32 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 16 Jun 22:05 Tue to 16 Jul 09:24 Thu the Sun stayed in Mithuna, entering Karka at 17 Jul 06:32 Fri, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Ashadha, before Ashadha itself.

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 16 Jul, with the Sun in Mithuna, begins Ashadha (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Ashadha (Adhik) here, and Ashadha (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 20 Mar 2015, 17:36 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 112.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2072; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1937.
