Panchang in Adelebsen, Lower Saxony, Germany Sat 8 May 2027

Akshaya Tritiya’s puja is done in purvahna, the first half of the day. Tritiya runs from 08:13 on Sat 8 May to 05:33 on Sun 9 May, so it touches only Saturday’s purvahna (05:40–13:17).

Akshaya Tritiya: every date in Adelebsen

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 12°–24° is the 2nd, Shukla Dwitiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:40 here. Pratipada ended at 10:44 Fri, before it. Dwitiya ends at 08:13, when the lead reaches 24°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 6 May, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Tritiya began at 08:13 and ended at 05:33 Sun, between the sunrises of 05:40 and 05:38 Sun. Saturday reads Dwitiya and Sunday reads Chaturthi: Tritiya is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Fri 7 May ran from sunset 20:53 Fri to sunrise 05:40, 8 h 47 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 35 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:40 to 20:55, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 54 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:55 to 05:38 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 5 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′. Rohini spans 40°00′–53°20′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 43°20′. It leaves at 18:23, for Mrigashira.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 23.1° + 45.7° = 68.8°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 66°40′–80°00′ is the 6th, Atiganda. It ends at 23:07, then Sukarma.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwitiya is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava ended at 21:30 Fri, when the lead reached 18°; Kaulava runs until 08:13.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:40 to 05:38 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.

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: Mesha gives Vaishakha. The Sun enters Vrishabha on 15 May, inside the month. The next new moon, 4 Jun, finds it in Vrishabha and begins Jyeshtha.

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 6 May, with the Sun in Mesha, began Vaishakha. This Shukla paksha reads Vaishakha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 7 Apr 2027, 01:51 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 30.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2084; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1949.
