The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 276°–288° is the 24th, Krishna Navami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 04:47 here. Ashtami ended at 02:58 Fri, before it. Navami ends at 05:18, when the lead reaches 288°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 15 Jun, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Navami began at 02:58 Fri, before sunrise at 04:46 Fri, and ends at 05:18, after the next sunrise at 04:47. Both days read Navami: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Fri 24 Jun ran from sunset 20:56 Fri to sunrise 04:47, 7 h 51 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 31 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 04:47 to 20:57, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 2 h 1 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:57 to 04:47 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 58 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′. Revati spans 346°40′–360°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 356°40′. It leaves at 10:52, for Ashwini.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 69.2° + 357° = 426.2°, one full turn and 66.2°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 53°20′–66°40′ is the 5th, Shobhana. It ends at 05:39, then Atiganda.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Navami is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila ended at 16:09 Fri, when the lead reached 282°; Garaja runs until 05:18.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 04:47 to 04:47 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: Vrishabha gives Jyeshtha. The Sun enters Mithuna on 15 Jun, inside the month. The next new moon, 1 Jul, finds it in Mithuna and begins Ashadha.

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 1 Jul, with the Sun in Mithuna, begins Ashadha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Ashadha here, and Jyeshtha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 3 Apr 2011, 16:32 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 79.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2068; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1933.
