Amanta month convention for Hetauda, Makwanpur, Bagamati Province, 44107, Nepal. The Hindu day runs sunrise to sunrise, so a Tithi or Nakshatra ending “after midnight” still belongs to this day. Sidereal positions use the Lahiri ayanamsa; other almanacs can differ by a few minutes. Methodology

City data © GeoNames. Times for Hetauda, Nepal, in Asia/Kathmandu.
Rahu Kaal, Abhijit Muhurat, Choghadiya and Hora are fractions of the local day, so they move with sunrise and sunset. Hetauda sits at 27.43°N, 85.03°E, 467 m above sea level, in the Asia/Kathmandu time zone.
Tithi and Nakshatra end at the same instant everywhere, but the local clock time differs, and the Tithi at Hetauda's own sunrise decides which date a festival or vrat falls on here.
Shukla Navami is the tithi at sunrise (06:28 AM) in Hetauda and lasts until 07:22 AM. The tithi at sunrise names the day.
Purva Bhadrapada (pada 1), until 07:12 AM, Nov 20.
Sunrise is at 06:28 AM and sunset at 05:12 PM, local time, for Hetauda's own coordinates.
01:11 PM to 02:31 PM. Rahu Kaal is one-eighth of the daytime, so it moves with Hetauda's sunrise and sunset.
11:29 AM to 12:12 PM: the eighth of fifteen daytime muhurtas, around local noon, auspicious for most beginnings.
04:42 AM to 05:35 AM: the 14th of the night's 15 muhurtas, ending one muhurta (about 48 minutes) before sunrise, traditionally kept for prayer and study.
The Moon rises at 01:35 PM and sets at 01:42 AM, Nov 20.
Wait until Navami ends at 07:22 AM: routine work is fine; keep big starts for a better day. Best window: Abhijit Muhurat 11:29 AM to 12:12 PM. Avoid Rahu Kaal, 01:11 PM to 02:31 PM.
People with Karka (Cancer) Moon sign, 03:46 PM, Nov 17 to 01:05 AM, Nov 20 and people with Simha (Leo) Moon sign, 01:05 AM, Nov 20 to 06:10 AM, Nov 22: the Moon is in their 8th sign.
A Panchang is the Hindu almanac. For each day it gives five details (panch anga, "five parts"): Tithi (lunar day), Vara (weekday), Nakshatra (the Moon's lunar mansion), Yoga (a Sun–Moon combination) and Karana (half a Tithi), along with sunrise-based timings used to choose a Muhurat.
Rahu Kaal is one-eighth of the daytime (sunrise to sunset), assigned to Rahu by weekday. Traditionally people avoid starting new ventures, signing agreements or beginning journeys in it. Because it depends on local sunrise and sunset, it differs from city to city and day to day.
A Tithi is the time the Moon takes to gain 12° on the Sun, so it can end at any hour. By convention the Tithi prevailing at sunrise names the day, which is why a festival can fall on a different civil date in different places.
