The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 72°–84° is the 7th, Shukla Saptami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:35 here. Shashthi ended at 05:31 Mon, before it. Saptami ends at 07:50, when the lead reaches 84°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 9 Nov, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Saptami began at 05:31 Mon, before sunrise at 07:33 Mon, and ends at 07:50, after the next sunrise at 07:35. Both days read Saptami: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Mon 16 Nov ran from sunset 16:37 Mon to sunrise 07:35, 14 h 58 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 59 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:35 to 16:36, 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 night here, 16:36 to 07:37 Wed, 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 fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Dhanishtha spans 293°20′–306°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 293°20′. It leaves at 08:04 Wed, for Shatabhisha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 210.4° + 294.2° = 504.6°, one full turn and 144.6°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 133°20′–146°40′ is the 11th, Vriddhi. It ends at 11:24, then Dhruva.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Saptami is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja ended at 18:44 Mon, when the lead reached 78°; Vanija runs until 07:50.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:35 to 07:37 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: Tula gives Kartika. The Sun enters Vrishchika on 16 Nov, inside the month. The next new moon, 9 Dec, finds it in Vrishchika and begins Margashirsha.

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 9 Nov, with the Sun in Tula, began Kartika. This Shukla paksha reads Kartika in both counts.

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 236.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
