What a karana is
and how it is worked outA karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon’s gain on the Sun instead of 12. Seven of them, Bava to Vishti, repeat eight times through the month. The other four are fixed and appear once each. Vishti, also called Bhadra, is the one a muhurat is chosen around rather than inside.
