'Dainika' means daily. ### Tithi 1 The lunar day representing the angular distance between the Sun and Moon (each 12Β°). Crucial for determining fasts, festivals, and sacred rites. ### Nakshatra 2 The lunar mansion occupied by the Moon in the sidereal zodiac (13Β° 20' each). It deeply influences mental inclinations and day energy. ### Yoga 3 The sum of the longitudes of the Sun and Moon divided into 27 segments. Reflects the subtle prevailing mood and harmony of the day. ### Karana 4 Half a Tithi (6Β° angular difference). Used for fine-grained selection of Muhuratas for specific commercial, domestic, and spiritual tasks. ### Vara 5 The weekday ruled by a planetary lord, establishing the foundational energetic principle of the 24-hour cycle from sunrise to next sunrise. ## Discover More [Browse by Month View full lunar & solar monthly layouts with all vrats.
