Panchang in Baoding, Hebei, China Tue 26 May 2026

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 108°–120° is the 10th, Shukla Dashami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 04:57 here. Navami ended at 07:01 Mon, before it. Dashami ends at 07:41, when the lead reaches 120°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 17 May, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Mon 25 May ran from sunset 19:31 Mon to sunrise 04:57, 9 h 26 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 37 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 04:57 to 19:32, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 49 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:32 to 04:57 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 10 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′. Uttara Phalguni spans 146°40′–160°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 156°40′. It leaves at 06:38, for Hasta.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 40.4° + 159.1° = 199.5°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 186°40′–200°00′ is the 15th, Vajra. It ends at 05:45, then Siddhi.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dashami is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila ended at 19:17 Mon, when the lead reached 114°; Garaja runs until 07:41.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 04:57 to 04:57 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 17 May 04:01 Sun to 15 Jun 10:54 Mon the Sun stayed in Vrishabha, entering Mithuna at 15 Jun 15:22 Mon, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Jyeshtha, before Jyeshtha itself.

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, began Jyeshtha (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Jyeshtha (Adhik) in both counts.

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 66.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
