Panchang in Baoding, Hebei, China Tue 9 Jun 2026

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 264°–276° is the 23rd, Krishna Ashtami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 04:52 here. Saptami ended at 05:55 Mon, before it. Ashtami ends at 05:54, when the lead reaches 276°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 31 May, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Mon 8 Jun ran from sunset 19:41 Mon to sunrise 04:52, 9 h 11 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 36 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 04:52 to 19:42, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 51 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:42 to 04:52 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 8 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′. Purva Bhadrapada spans 320°00′–333°20′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 326°40′. It leaves at 12:09, for Uttara Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 53.8° + 329.3° = 383.1°, one full turn and 23.1°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 13°20′–26°40′ is the 2nd, Priti. It ends at 10:48, then Ayushmana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Ashtami is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava ended at 18:00 Mon, when the lead reached 270°; Kaulava runs until 05:54.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 04:52 to 04:52 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 15 Jun, with the Sun in Vrishabha, begins Jyeshtha (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Jyeshtha (Adhik) here, and Jyeshtha (Adhik) 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 79.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
