Panchang in Baoding, Hebei, China Mon 4 May 2026

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 192°–204° is the 17th, Krishna Dwitiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:17 here. Pratipada ended at 03:20 Sun, before it. Dwitiya ends at 05:32, when the lead reaches 204°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 2 May, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dwitiya began at 03:20 Sun, before sunrise at 05:18 Sun, and ends at 05:32, after the next sunrise at 05:17. Both days read Dwitiya: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Sun 3 May ran from sunset 19:12 Sun to sunrise 05:17, 10 h 5 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 40 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:17 to 19:13, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 44 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:13 to 05:16 Tue, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 15 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′. Anuradha spans 213°20′–226°40′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 220°. It leaves at 12:28, for Jyeshtha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 19.2° + 223.1° = 242.3°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 240°00′–253°20′ is the 19th, Parigha. It ends at 01:49 Tue, then Shiva.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwitiya is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila ended at 16:24 Sun, when the lead reached 198°; Garaja runs until 05:32.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:17 to 05:16 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.

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, 17 May, 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 17 May, with the Sun in Vrishabha, begins Jyeshtha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Jyeshtha here, and Vaishakha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 19 Mar 2026, 09:23 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 45° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
