The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 144°–156° is the 13th, Shukla Trayodashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:02 here. Dwadashi ended at 09:48 Thu, before it. Trayodashi ends at 06:18, when the lead reaches 156°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 15 Apr, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Chaturdashi began at 06:18 and ended at 02:29 Sat, between the sunrises of 06:02 and 06:01 Sat. Friday reads Trayodashi and Saturday reads Purnima: Chaturdashi is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Thu 27 Apr ran from sunset 19:52 Thu to sunrise 06:02, 10 h 10 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 40 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:02 to 19:53, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 43 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:53 to 06:01 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 16 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 3 at 166°40′. It leaves at 11:43, for Chitra.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 13.9° + 169.7° = 183.6°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 173°20′–186°40′ is the 14th, Harshana. It ends at 10:33, then Vajra.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Trayodashi is Kaulava and the second Taitila. Kaulava ended at 20:06 Thu, when the lead reached 150°; Taitila runs until 06:18.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:02 to 06:01 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 15 Apr 03:50 Sat to 14 May 20:06 Sun the Sun stayed in Mesha, entering Vrishabha at 14 May 21:13 Sun, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Vaishakha, before Vaishakha 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 15 Apr, with the Sun in Mesha, began Vaishakha (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Vaishakha (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 16 Mar 2056, 10:52 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 42.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2113; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1978.
