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, 05:18 here. Shashthi ended at 05:10 Mon, before it. Saptami ends at 06:25, when the lead reaches 84°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 30 May, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Saptami began at 05:10 Mon, before sunrise at 05:18 Mon, and ends at 06:25, after the next sunrise at 05:18. Both days read Saptami: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Mon 6 Jun ran from sunset 20:12 Mon to sunrise 05:18, 9 h 6 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 36 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:18 to 20:12, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 51 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:12 to 05:17 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 8 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′. Purva Phalguni spans 133°20′–146°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 133°20′. It leaves at 02:19 Wed, for Uttara Phalguni.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 52.1° + 135.6° = 187.7°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 186°40′–200°00′ is the 15th, Vajra. It ends at 02:56 Wed, then Siddhi.

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 17:52 Mon, when the lead reached 78°; Vanija runs until 06:25.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:18 to 05:17 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: Vrishabha gives Jyeshtha. The Sun enters Mithuna on 15 Jun, inside the month. The next new moon, 29 Jun, finds it in Mithuna and begins Ashadha.

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 30 May, with the Sun in Vrishabha, began Jyeshtha. This Shukla paksha reads Jyeshtha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 1 Apr 2022, 10:24 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 64.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2079; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1944.
