Dhanteras puja is done in pradosha, the 3 muhurtas after sunset. Trayodashi runs from 04:40 on Wed 12 Nov to 04:06 on Thu 13 Nov, so only Wednesday’s pradosha (17:45–20:33) falls within it. No text giving Dhanteras’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.

Dhanteras puja muhurat: pradosha, 17:45–20:33. Within it Vrishabha, a fixed (sthira) lagna, rises in the east from 17:53 to 19:42.

Shiva’s Pradosh puja is done in pradosha, the 3 muhurtas after sunset. Trayodashi runs from 04:40 on Wed 12 Nov to 04:06 on Thu 13 Nov, so only Wednesday’s pradosha (17:45–20:33) falls within it. No text giving Pradosh Vrat’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.

Pradosh Vrat: every date in Sevan

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 324°–336° is the 28th, Krishna Trayodashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:42 here. Dwadashi ended at 04:40, before it. Trayodashi ends at 04:06 Thu, when the lead reaches 336°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 30 Oct, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Tue 11 Nov ran from sunset 17:46 Tue to sunrise 07:42, 13 h 56 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 55 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:42 to 17:45, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 15 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:45 to 07:43 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 44 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′. Hasta spans 160°00′–173°20′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 170°. It leaves at 12:21, for Chitra.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 205.2° + 170.8° = 376°, one full turn and 16°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 13°20′–26°40′ is the 2nd, Priti. It ends at 01:34 Thu, then Ayushmana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Trayodashi is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja runs until 16:28, when the lead reaches 330°; Vanija until 04:06 Thu.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:42 to 07:43 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.

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: Kanya gives Ashwina. The Sun enters Tula on 18 Oct, inside the month. The next new moon, 15 Nov, finds it in Tula and begins Kartika.

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 15 Nov, with the Sun in Tula, begins Kartika. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Kartika here, and Ashwina in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 23 Mar 2031, 07:49 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 227.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2088; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1953.
