The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 216°–228° is the 19th, Krishna Chaturthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:50 here. Tritiya ended at 10:51 Wed, before it. Chaturthi ends at 13:00, when the lead reaches 228°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 31 May, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Wed 3 Jun ran from sunset 21:11 Wed to sunrise 05:50, 8 h 39 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 34 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:50 to 21:12, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 55 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 21:12 to 05:49 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 4 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 3 at 273°20′. It leaves at 17:11, for Shravana.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 49.6° + 274.3° = 323.9°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 320°00′–333°20′ is the 25th, Brahma. It ends at 23:12, then Indra.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturthi is Bava and the second Balava. Bava ended at 23:58 Wed, when the lead reached 222°; Balava runs until 13:00.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:50 to 05:49 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 16 May 15:01 Sat to 14 Jun 21:54 Sun the Sun stayed in Vrishabha, entering Mithuna at 15 Jun 02:22 Mon, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Jyeshtha, before Jyeshtha 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 14 Jun, with the Sun in Vrishabha, begins Jyeshtha (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Jyeshtha (Adhik) here, and Jyeshtha (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 18 Mar 2026, 20:23 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 75.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
