Panchang in Baoding, Hebei, China Sun 18 Jun 2028

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 288°–300° is the 25th, Krishna Dashami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 04:52 here. Navami ended at 03:32 Sat, before it. Dashami ends at 04:57, when the lead reaches 300°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 7 Jun, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dashami began at 03:32 Sat, before sunrise at 04:52 Sat, and ends at 04:57, after the next sunrise at 04:52. Both days read Dashami: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Sat 17 Jun ran from sunset 19:45 Sat to sunrise 04:52, 9 h 7 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 36 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 04:52 to 19:46, 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, 19:46 to 04:52 Mon, 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′. Ashwini spans 0°00′–13°20′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 0°. It leaves at 00:54 Mon, for Bharani.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 62.9° + 2.9° = 65.8°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 53°20′–66°40′ is the 5th, Shobhana. It ends at 06:28, then Atiganda.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dashami is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija ended at 16:19 Sat, when the lead reached 294°; Vishti runs until 04:57.

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

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, 23 Jun, 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 23 Jun, with the Sun in Mithuna, begins Ashadha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Ashadha here, and Jyeshtha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 26 Mar 2028, 12:31 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 81.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2085; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1950.
