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, 07:04 here. Shashthi ended at 06:21, before it. Saptami ends at 08:42 Tue, when the lead reaches 84°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 13 Mar, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Saptami began at 06:21, before sunrise at 07:04, and ends at 08:42 Tue, after the next sunrise at 07:02 Tue. Both days read Saptami: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Sun 18 Mar ran from sunset 19:10 Sun to sunrise 07:04, 11 h 54 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 47 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:04 to 19:11, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 30 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:11 to 07:02 Tue, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 28 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′. Rohini spans 40°00′–53°20′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 46°40′. It leaves at 19:42, for Mrigashira.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 334.7° + 47° = 381.7°, one full turn and 21.7°. 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 16:10, then Ayushmana.

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 19:29, when the lead reaches 78°; Vanija until 08:42 Tue.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:04 to 07:02 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.

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: Kumbha gives Phalguna. The Sun enters Meena on 14 Mar, inside the month. The next new moon, 11 Apr, finds it in Meena and begins Chaitra.

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 Mar, with the Sun in Kumbha, began Phalguna. This Shukla paksha reads Phalguna in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 24 Mar 2039, 21:59 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 355.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2096; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1961.
