Panchang in Baoding, Hebei, China Sat 12 Aug 2028

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 240°–252° is the 21st, Krishna Shashthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:28 here. Panchami ended at 03:43 Fri, before it. Shashthi ends at 05:42, when the lead reaches 252°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 5 Aug, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Shashthi began at 03:43 Fri, before sunrise at 05:28 Fri, and ends at 05:42, after the next sunrise at 05:28. Both days read Shashthi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Fri 11 Aug ran from sunset 19:17 Fri to sunrise 05:28, 10 h 11 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 40 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:28 to 19:16, 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, 19:16 to 05:29 Sun, 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′. Ashwini spans 0°00′–13°20′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 6°40′. It leaves at 17:16, for Bharani.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 115.5° + 7.4° = 122.9°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 120°00′–133°20′ is the 10th, Ganda. It ends at 00:39 Sun, then Vriddhi.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Shashthi is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja ended at 16:45 Fri, when the lead reached 246°; Vanija runs until 05:42.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:28 to 05:29 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.

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: Karka gives Shravana. The Sun enters Simha on 16 Aug, inside the month. The next new moon, 20 Aug, finds it in Simha and begins Bhadrapada.

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 20 Aug, with the Sun in Simha, begins Bhadrapada. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Bhadrapada here, and Shravana 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 133.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2085; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1950.
