The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 192°–204° is the 17th, Krishna Dwitiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:13 here. Pratipada ended at 06:51 Fri, before it. Dwitiya ends at 06:41, when the lead reaches 204°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 6 Apr, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Tritiya began at 06:41 and ended at 06:06 Sun, between the sunrises of 06:13 and 06:11 Sun. Saturday reads Dwitiya and Sunday reads Chaturthi: Tritiya is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Fri 7 Apr ran from sunset 19:28 Fri to sunrise 06:13, 10 h 45 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 43 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:13 to 19:30, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 39 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:30 to 06:11 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 20 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′. Swati spans 186°40′–200°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 196°40′. It leaves at 10:28, for Vishakha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 353.9° + 197.7° = 551.6°, one full turn and 191.6°. 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 20:28, then Siddhi.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwitiya is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila ended at 18:49 Fri, when the lead reached 198°; Garaja runs until 06:41.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:13 to 06:11 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: Meena gives Chaitra. The Sun enters Mesha on 14 Apr, inside the month. The next new moon, 20 Apr, finds it in Mesha and begins Vaishakha.

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 20 Apr, with the Sun in Mesha, begins Vaishakha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Vaishakha here, and Chaitra in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 21 Mar 2023, 18:23 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 17.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2080; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1945.
