Panchang in Baoding, Hebei, China Sun 14 Sep 2025

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 252°–264° is the 22nd, Krishna Saptami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:58 here. Shashthi ended at 09:53 Sat, before it. Saptami ends at 07:34, when the lead reaches 264°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 8 Sep, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ashtami began at 07:34 and ended at 05:36 Mon, between the sunrises of 05:58 and 05:59 Mon. Sunday reads Saptami and Monday reads Navami: Ashtami is a kshaya tithi here.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

Sunrise here, 06:05, came after Saptami ended at 05:04: this day reads Ashtami.

Baoding · UTC+8

Sunrise here, 05:58, came before Saptami ended at 07:34: this day reads Saptami. Ashtami ends at 05:36 Mon, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Ashtami: it is kshaya.

The night of Sat 13 Sep ran from sunset 18:29 Sat to sunrise 05:58, 11 h 29 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:58 to 18:28, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 33 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:28 to 05:59 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 26 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 4 at 50°. It leaves at 11:11, for Mrigashira.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 147.1° + 50.3° = 197.4°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 186°40′–200°00′ is the 15th, Vajra. It ends at 10:05, then Siddhi.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Saptami is Vishti and the second Bava. Vishti ended at 20:41 Sat, when the lead reached 258°; Bava runs until 07:34.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:58 to 05:59 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: Simha gives Bhadrapada. The Sun enters Kanya on 17 Sep, inside the month. The next new moon, 22 Sep, finds it in Kanya and begins Ashwina.

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 22 Sep, with the Sun in Kanya, begins Ashwina. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Ashwina here, and Bhadrapada in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 29 Mar 2025, 18:57 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 162.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2082; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1947.
