Vat Savitri Vrat follows the tithi at sunrise. Amavasya begins at 07:38 on Thu 25 May, after that sunrise, and ends at 03:44 on Fri 26 May, before the next: it holds no sunrise. A tithi that holds no sunrise is kept on the day it is current: Thu 25 May. No text giving Vat Savitri Vrat’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

Amavasya: every date in Codcod

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, 05:24 here. Trayodashi ended at 11:18 Wed, before it. Chaturdashi ends at 07:38, when the lead reaches 348°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 11 May, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Amavasya began at 07:38 and ended at 03:44 Fri, between the sunrises of 05:24 and 05:24 Fri. Thursday reads Chaturdashi and Friday reads Pratipada: Amavasya is a kshaya tithi here.

Sunrise here, 05:24, came before Chaturdashi ended at 07:38: this day reads Chaturdashi. Amavasya ends at 03:44 Fri, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Amavasya: it is kshaya.

The night of Wed 24 May ran from sunset 18:03 Wed to sunrise 05:24, 11 h 21 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:24 to 18:04, 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 fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Bharani spans 13°20′–26°40′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 23°20′. It leaves at 05:43, for Krittika.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 39.8° + 26.5° = 66.3°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 53°20′–66°40′ is the 5th, Shobhana. It ends at 06:01, then Atiganda.

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 21:30 Wed, when the lead reached 342°; Shakuni runs until 07:38.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:24 to 05:24 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.

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, 26 May, finds it in Vrishabha and begins Jyeshtha.

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 26 May, with the Sun in Vrishabha, begins Jyeshtha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Jyeshtha here, and Vaishakha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 28 Mar 2017, 10:57 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 56.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2074; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1939.
