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, 05:20 here. Shashthi ended at 02:55, before it. Saptami ends at 01:34 Sat, when the lead reaches 84°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 16 May, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

Sunrise here, 05:27, came before Shashthi ended at 06:25: this day reads Shashthi. Saptami ends at 05:04 Sat, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Saptami: it is kshaya.

The night of Thu 21 May ran from sunset 21:06 Thu to sunrise 05:20, 8 h 14 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 32 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:20 to 21:07, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 58 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 21:07 to 05:18 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 1 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′. Ashlesha spans 106°40′–120°00′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 110°. It leaves at 22:38, for Magha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 36.8° + 110.1° = 146.9°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 146°40′–160°00′ is the 12th, Dhruva. It ends at 02:43 Sat, then Vyaghata.

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 runs until 14:09, when the lead reaches 78°; Vanija until 01:34 Sat.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:20 to 05:18 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 16 May 22:01 Sat to 15 Jun 04:54 Mon the Sun stayed in Vrishabha, entering Mithuna at 15 Jun 09:22 Mon, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Jyeshtha, before Jyeshtha itself.

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 16 May, with the Sun in Vrishabha, began Jyeshtha (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Jyeshtha (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 19 Mar 2026, 02:23 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 62.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
