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, 03:34 here. Ashtami ended at 07:08 Fri, before it. Navami ends at 04:54, when the lead reaches 288°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 23 May, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dashami began at 04:54 and ended at 02:35 Sun, between the sunrises of 03:34 and 03:33 Sun. Saturday reads Navami and Sunday reads Ekadashi: Dashami is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Fri 31 May ran from sunset 21:12 Fri to sunrise 03:34, 6 h 22 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 25 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 03:34 to 21:14, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 2 h 12 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 21:14 to 03:33 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 47 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 Bhadrapada spans 333°20′–346°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 333°20′. It leaves at 00:46 Sun, for Revati.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 46.8° + 334.1° = 380.9°, one full turn and 20.9°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 13°20′–26°40′ is the 2nd, Priti. It ends at 12:39, then Ayushmana.

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 18:02 Fri, when the lead reached 282°; Garaja runs until 04:54.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 03:34 to 03:33 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: Mesha gives Vaishakha. The Sun enters Vrishabha on 14 May, inside the month. The next new moon, 6 Jun, finds it in Vrishabha and begins Jyeshtha.

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 6 Jun, with the Sun in Vrishabha, begins Jyeshtha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Jyeshtha here, and Vaishakha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 8 Apr 2024, 21:20 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 51.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2081; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1946.
