The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 240°–252° is the 21st, Krishna Shashthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 04:55 here. Panchami ended at 02:24, before it. Shashthi ends at 01:33 Wed, when the lead reaches 252°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 29 Jul, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Mon 3 Aug ran from sunset 20:00 Mon to sunrise 04:55, 8 h 55 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 35 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 04:55 to 19:58, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 52 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:58 to 04:56 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 7 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 1 at 346°40′. It leaves at 01:24 Wed, for Ashwini.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 107.3° + 348.6° = 455.9°, one full turn and 95.9°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 93°20′–106°40′ is the 8th, Dhriti. It ends at 23:03, then Shula.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Shashthi is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja runs until 14:03, when the lead reaches 246°; Vanija until 01:33 Wed.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 04:55 to 04:56 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

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: Mithuna gives Ashadha. The Sun enters Karka on 17 Jul, inside the month. The next new moon, 13 Aug, finds it in Karka and begins Shravana.

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 13 Aug, with the Sun in Karka, begins Shravana. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Shravana here, and Ashadha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 19 Mar 2026, 10:23 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 133.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
