Panchang in Baoding, Hebei, China Tue 11 Aug 2026

Shiva’s worship centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Chaturdashi runs from 07:24 on Tue 11 Aug to 04:23 on Wed 12 Aug, so only Tuesday night’s nishitha (00:03 Wed–00:43 Wed) falls within it. No text giving Masik Shivratri’s time was found; nishitha is Tithika’s convention.

Masik Shivratri: every date in Baoding

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 324°–336° is the 28th, Krishna Trayodashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:27 here. Dwadashi ended at 10:31 Mon, before it. Trayodashi ends at 07:24, when the lead reaches 336°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 29 Jul, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Chaturdashi began at 07:24 and ended at 04:23 Wed, between the sunrises of 05:27 and 05:28 Wed. Tuesday reads Trayodashi and Wednesday reads Amavasya: Chaturdashi is a kshaya tithi here.

Sunrise here, 05:48, came after Trayodashi ended at 04:54: this day reads Chaturdashi.

Baoding · UTC+8

Sunrise here, 05:27, came before Trayodashi ended at 07:24: this day reads Trayodashi. Chaturdashi ends at 04:23 Wed, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Chaturdashi: it is kshaya.

The night of Mon 10 Aug ran from sunset 19:19 Mon to sunrise 05:27, 10 h 8 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 40 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:27 to 19:18, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 43 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:18 to 05:28 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 16 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′. Punarvasu spans 80°00′–93°20′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 86°40′. It leaves at 12:39, for Pushya.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 114° + 88.9° = 202.9°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 200°00′–213°20′ is the 16th, Siddhi. It ends at 21:21, then Vyatipata.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Trayodashi is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja ended at 20:57 Mon, when the lead reached 330°; Vanija runs until 07:24.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:27 to 05:28 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

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: Mithuna gives Ashadha. The Sun enters Karka on 17 Jul, inside the month. The next new moon, 13 Aug, finds it in Karka and begins Shravana.

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 13 Aug, with the Sun in Karka, begins Shravana. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Shravana here, and Ashadha 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 139.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
