Panchang in Adelebsen, Lower Saxony, Germany Sun 10 Jan 2027

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 24°–36° is the 3rd, Shukla Tritiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 08:23 here. Dwitiya ended at 02:37, before it. Tritiya ends at 04:58 Mon, when the lead reaches 36°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 7 Jan, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Sat 9 Jan ran from sunset 16:31 Sat to sunrise 08:23, 15 h 52 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 1 h 3 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 08:23 to 16:32, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 1 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 16:32 to 08:23 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 58 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Shravana spans 280°00′–293°20′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 290°. It leaves at 10:42, for Dhanishtha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 265.6° + 292.2° = 557.8°, one full turn and 197.8°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 186°40′–200°00′ is the 15th, Vajra. It ends at 12:32, then Siddhi.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Tritiya is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila runs until 15:50, when the lead reaches 30°; Garaja until 04:58 Mon.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 08:23 to 08:23 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

An amanta month runs from new moon to new moon and takes its name from the rashi the Sun is in at the new moon that begins it: Dhanu gives Pausha. The Sun enters Makara on 14 Jan, inside the month. The next new moon, 6 Feb, finds it in Makara and begins Magha.

A purnimanta month runs from full moon to full moon, so its waning half comes first. It shares its name with the amanta month that its second half falls in: the new moon of 7 Jan, with the Sun in Dhanu, began Pausha. This Shukla paksha reads Pausha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 19 Mar 2026, 02:23 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 291.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
