Panchang in Baoding, Hebei, China Wed 16 Jun 2027

Shiva’s Pradosh puja is done in pradosha, the 3 muhurtas after sunset. Trayodashi runs from 05:01 on Wed 16 Jun to 05:50 on Thu 17 Jun, so only Wednesday’s pradosha (19:45–21:34) falls within it. No text giving Pradosh Vrat’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.

Pradosh Vrat: every date in Baoding

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 132°–144° is the 12th, Shukla Dwadashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 04:52 here. Ekadashi ended at 04:38 Tue, before it. Dwadashi ends at 05:01, when the lead reaches 144°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 5 Jun, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dwadashi began at 04:38 Tue, before sunrise at 04:52 Tue, and ends at 05:01, after the next sunrise at 04:52. Both days read Dwadashi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Tue 15 Jun ran from sunset 19:44 Tue to sunrise 04:52, 9 h 8 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 36 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 04:52 to 19:45, 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, 19:45 to 04:52 Thu, 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′. Vishakha spans 200°00′–213°20′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 203°20′. It leaves at 22:14, for Anuradha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 60.3° + 204.2° = 264.5°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 253°20′–266°40′ is the 20th, Shiva. It ends at 08:39, then Siddha.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwadashi is Bava and the second Balava. Bava ended at 16:46 Tue, when the lead reached 138°; Balava runs until 05:01.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 04:52 to 04:52 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.

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: Vrishabha gives Jyeshtha. The Sun enters Mithuna on 15 Jun, inside the month. The next new moon, 4 Jul, finds it in Mithuna and begins Ashadha.

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 5 Jun, with the Sun in Vrishabha, began Jyeshtha. This Shukla paksha reads Jyeshtha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 7 Apr 2027, 07:51 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 67.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2084; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1949.
