The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 252°–264° is the 22nd, Krishna Saptami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:15 here. Shashthi ended at 05:55 Fri, before it. Saptami ends at 08:18, when the lead reaches 264°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 11 Feb, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Saptami began at 05:55 Fri, before sunrise at 07:17 Fri, and ends at 08:18, after the next sunrise at 07:15. Both days read Saptami: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Fri 17 Feb ran from sunset 17:35 Fri to sunrise 07:15, 13 h 40 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 54 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:15 to 17:36, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 17 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:36 to 07:13 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 42 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′. Vishakha spans 200°00′–213°20′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 206°40′. It leaves at 15:40, for Anuradha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 305.6° + 209.2° = 514.8°, one full turn and 154.8°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 146°40′–160°00′ is the 12th, Dhruva. It ends at 16:55, then Vyaghata.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Saptami is Vishti and the second Bava. Vishti ended at 19:05 Fri, when the lead reached 258°; Bava runs until 08:18.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:15 to 07:13 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.

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: Makara gives Magha. The Sun enters Kumbha on 12 Feb, inside the month. The next new moon, 26 Feb, finds it in Kumbha and begins Phalguna.

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 Feb, with the Sun in Kumbha, begins Phalguna. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Phalguna here, and Magha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 7 Apr 2016, 14:23 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 311.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2073; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1938.
