The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 84°–96° is the 8th, Shukla Ashtami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:35 here. Saptami ended at 06:51 Sun, before it. Ashtami ends at 06:08, when the lead reaches 96°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 19 Jul, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Navami began at 06:08 and ended at 04:45 Tue, between the sunrises of 05:35 and 05:35 Tue. Monday reads Ashtami and Tuesday reads Dashami: Navami is a kshaya tithi here.

Sunrise here, 05:40, came after Ashtami ended at 03:38: this day reads Navami.

Codcod · UTC+8

Sunrise here, 05:35, came before Ashtami ended at 06:08: this day reads Ashtami. Navami ends at 04:45 Tue, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Navami: it is kshaya.

The night of Sun 27 Jul ran from sunset 18:12 Sun to sunrise 05:35, 11 h 23 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:35 to 18:11, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 34 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:11 to 05:35 Tue, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 25 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′. Swati spans 186°40′–200°00′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 193°20′. It leaves at 12:31, for Vishakha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 100.4° + 196.1° = 296.5°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 293°20′–306°40′ is the 23rd, Shubha. It ends at 22:23, then Shukla.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Ashtami is Vishti and the second Bava. Vishti ended at 18:34 Sun, when the lead reached 90°; Bava runs until 06:08.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:35 to 05:35 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.

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: Karka gives Shravana. The Sun enters Simha on 17 Aug, inside the month. The next new moon, 18 Aug, finds it in Simha and begins Bhadrapada.

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 19 Jul, with the Sun in Karka, began Shravana. This Shukla paksha reads Shravana in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 23 Mar 2031, 11:49 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 122.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2088; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1953.
