Lunar Day

The angular distance between the Sun and Moon (12° each). 30 tithis in a lunar month (15 Shukla + 15 Krishna).

⭐

2. Nakshatra

Lunar Mansion

The 27 segments of the zodiac (13°20' each) that the Moon passes through along the ecliptic path.

🕉️

3. Yoga

Solar-Lunar Sum

Sum of longitudes of Sun and Moon divided into 27 equal parts (13°20' each), indicating overall cosmic harmony.

🔱

4. Karana

Half-Tithi

One-half of a Tithi (6° separation). There are 11 Karanas (4 fixed and 7 repeating in cycles).

📅

5. Vaara
