Lohri’s bonfire is lit on the evening before Makar Sankranti. The Sun enters Makara at 12:25 Tue, and Makar Sankranti is on Tue 14 Jan: Mon 13 Jan. No text giving Lohri’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.

Lohri: every date in Progress

Purnima follows the tithi at sunrise. Purnima begins at 08:33 on Mon 13 Jan, after that sunrise, and ends at 07:26 on Tue 14 Jan, before the next: it holds no sunrise. A tithi that holds no sunrise is kept on the day it is current: Mon 13 Jan. No text giving Purnima’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

Purnima: every date in Progress

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 156°–168° is the 14th, Shukla Chaturdashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 08:14 here. Trayodashi ended at 10:04 Sun, before it. Chaturdashi ends at 08:33, when the lead reaches 168°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 31 Dec, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Purnima began at 08:33 and ended at 07:26 Tue, between the sunrises of 08:14 and 08:13 Tue. Monday reads Chaturdashi and Tuesday reads Pratipada: Purnima is a kshaya tithi here.

Sunrise here, 07:15, came after Chaturdashi ended at 05:03: this day reads Purnima.

Progress · UTC+9

Sunrise here, 08:14, came before Chaturdashi ended at 08:33: this day reads Chaturdashi. Purnima ends at 07:26 Tue, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Purnima: it is kshaya.

The night of Sun 12 Jan ran from sunset 16:44 Sun to sunrise 08:14, 15 h 30 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 1 h 2 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 08:14 to 16:45, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 3 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 16:45 to 08:13 Tue, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 56 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′. Ardra spans 66°40′–80°00′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 73°20′. It leaves at 14:08, for Punarvasu.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 268.8° + 76.6° = 345.4°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 333°20′–346°40′ is the 26th, Indra. It ends at 10:14, then Vaidhriti.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturdashi is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja ended at 21:16 Sun, when the lead reached 162°; Vanija runs until 08:33.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 08:14 to 08:13 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: Dhanu gives Pausha. The Sun enters Makara on 14 Jan, inside the month. The next new moon, 29 Jan, finds it in Makara and begins Magha.

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 31 Dec, with the Sun in Dhanu, began Pausha. This Shukla paksha reads Pausha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 9 Apr 2024, 03:20 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 273.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2081; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1946.
