Panchang in Baoding, Hebei, China Wed 23 Aug 2028

Ganesha’s puja is done at madhyahna, the middle fifth of the day. Chaturthi runs from 07:40 on Wed 23 Aug to 04:25 on Thu 24 Aug, so only Wednesday’s madhyahna (10:59–13:40) falls within it.

Ganesh Chaturthi: every date in Baoding

Hartalika Teej’s puja is done in pratahkala, the first fifth of the day. Tritiya runs from 11:14 on Tue 22 Aug to 07:40 on Wed 23 Aug, so it touches only Wednesday’s pratahkala (05:38–08:19). No text giving Hartalika Teej’s time was found; pratahkala is Tithika’s convention.

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 24°–36° is the 3rd, Shukla Tritiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:38 here. Dwitiya ended at 11:14 Tue, before it. Tritiya ends at 07:40, when the lead reaches 36°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 20 Aug, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Chaturthi began at 07:40 and ended at 04:25 Thu, between the sunrises of 05:38 and 05:39 Thu. Wednesday reads Tritiya and Thursday reads Panchami: Chaturthi is a kshaya tithi here.

Sunrise here, 05:54, came after Tritiya ended at 05:10: this day reads Chaturthi.

Baoding · UTC+8

Sunrise here, 05:38, came before Tritiya ended at 07:40: this day reads Tritiya. Chaturthi ends at 04:25 Thu, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Chaturthi: it is kshaya.

The night of Tue 22 Aug ran from sunset 19:03 Tue to sunrise 05:38, 10 h 35 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 42 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:38 to 19:01, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 40 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:01 to 05:39 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 19 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′. Hasta spans 160°00′–173°20′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 160°. It leaves at 01:46 Thu, for Chitra.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 126° + 160.9° = 286.9°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 280°00′–293°20′ is the 22nd, Sadhya. It ends at 15:20, then Shubha.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Tritiya is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila ended at 21:25 Tue, when the lead reached 30°; Garaja runs until 07:40.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:38 to 05:39 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: Simha gives Bhadrapada. The Sun enters Kanya on 16 Sep, inside the month. The next new moon, 19 Sep, finds it in Kanya and begins Ashwina.

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, began Bhadrapada. This Shukla paksha reads Bhadrapada in both counts.

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 144.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2085; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1950.
