concept of Planetary Hours or Kala Horas.   The Planetary Hours are counted from Sunrise and the owner of the Planetary is the Lord of the Weekday. Today is Sunday and one hour from Sunrise is presided by the lord of Sunday, the Sun.   The sequential order of Planetary Hours is as follows.  

 

  Sun
Venus
Mercury
Moon
Saturn Jupiter Mars  

  ( Arka Shukra  Budhas Chandra Manda Jeeva Dharasutha, Kramena Kala Horesa.... )  

  So if the first Planetary Hour on Sunday is presided by the Sun, the next hour is presided by Venus, next by Mercury and so on. This goes on for 21 hours and the 22nd Planetary Hour is presided by Sun, the 23rd by Venus, the 24th by Mercury and the 25th, the first Planetary Hour next day, is presided by the Moon and hence his day, Monday, became the next week day in the Calender.   

  We have these basic equations    

Sunset - Sunrise                   = Duration of Day,  Dinamana  

Sunrise (next day ) - Sunset = Duration of Night,   Ratrimana   

 The diurnal duration is divided by 12 to get Planetary Hours. The diurnal duration will vary, as Day = Night = 12 Hours  occurs only on Equinox days, March 21 and Sept 21.   Similarly the nocturnal duration is divided by 12.

    Dina Dwadasamso Matha Kala Hora Pathi Thasya Poorvasya Varadhinadha

Thadha Shashta Shashta Kramena Tharesam
Nishyayam thu vareshwarad Panchamadya.
