The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 96°–108° is the 9th, Shukla Navami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:43 here. Ashtami ended at 04:15, before it. Navami ends at 02:05 Tue, when the lead reaches 108°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 8 Aug, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

Sunrise here, 05:50, came before Ashtami ended at 07:45: this day reads Ashtami. Navami ends at 05:35 Tue, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Navami: it is kshaya.

The night of Sun 15 Aug ran from sunset 20:04 Sun to sunrise 05:43, 9 h 39 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 38 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:43 to 20:02, 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 night here, 20:02 to 05:45 Tue, 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 fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Anuradha spans 213°20′–226°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 213°20′. It leaves at 23:32, for Jyeshtha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 119.4° + 216.2° = 335.6°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 333°20′–346°40′ is the 26th, Indra. It ends at 23:25, then Vaidhriti.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Navami is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava runs until 15:11, when the lead reaches 102°; Kaulava until 02:05 Tue.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:43 to 05:45 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 16 Aug, inside the month. The next new moon, 7 Sep, 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 8 Aug, 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: 12 Apr 2021, 04:30 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 121.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2078; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1943.
