The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 204°–216° is the 18th, Krishna Tritiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 08:10 here. Dwitiya ended at 00:07, before it. Tritiya ends at 02:40 Sat, when the lead reaches 216°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 28 Jan, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Thu 30 Jan ran from sunset 18:15 Thu to sunrise 08:10, 13 h 55 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 55 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 08:10 to 18:16, 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, 18:16 to 08:09 Sat, 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′. Purva Phalguni spans 133°20′–146°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 133°20′. It leaves at 09:19 Sat, for Uttara Phalguni.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 286.6° + 134.2° = 420.8°, one full turn and 60.8°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 53°20′–66°40′ is the 5th, Shobhana. It ends at 19:04, then Atiganda.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Tritiya is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija runs until 13:24, when the lead reaches 210°; Vishti until 02:40 Sat.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 08:10 to 08:09 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

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: Dhanu gives Pausha. The Sun enters Makara on 15 Jan, inside the month. The next new moon, 12 Feb, finds it in Makara and begins Magha.

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 12 Feb, with the Sun in Makara, begins Magha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Magha here, and Pausha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 24 Mar 2058, 13:50 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 307.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2115; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1980.
