Mauni Amavasya follows the tithi at sunrise. Amavasya begins at 08:06 on Tue 28 Jan, after that sunrise, and ends at 06:35 on Wed 29 Jan, before the next: it holds no sunrise. A tithi that holds no sunrise is kept on the day it is current: Tue 28 Jan. No text giving Mauni Amavasya’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

Amavasya: every date in Huron

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, 07:54 here. Trayodashi ended at 09:05 Mon, before it. Chaturdashi ends at 08:06, when the lead reaches 348°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 13 Jan, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Amavasya began at 08:06 and ended at 06:35 Wed, between the sunrises of 07:54 and 07:53 Wed. Tuesday reads Chaturdashi and Wednesday reads Pratipada: Amavasya is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Mon 27 Jan ran from sunset 17:35 Mon to sunrise 07:54, 14 h 19 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 57 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:54 to 17:37, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 12 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:37 to 07:53 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 47 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′. Uttara Ashadha spans 266°40′–280°00′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 270°. It leaves at 20:50, for Shravana.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 284.7° + 272.6° = 557.3°, one full turn and 197.3°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 186°40′–200°00′ is the 15th, Vajra. It ends at 12:21, then Siddhi.

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 20:40 Mon, when the lead reached 342°; Shakuni runs until 08:06.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:54 to 07:53 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

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: Dhanu gives Pausha. The Sun enters Makara on 13 Jan, inside the month. The next new moon, 29 Jan, finds it in Makara and begins Magha.

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 29 Jan, with the Sun in Makara, begins Magha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Magha here, and Pausha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 8 Apr 2024, 13:20 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 289.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2081; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1946.
