Panchang in Chahārbāgh, Alborz Province, Iran Tue 22 Nov 2033

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 0°–12° is the 1st, Shukla Pratipada. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:49 here. Amavasya ended at 05:09, before it. Pratipada ends at 06:45 Wed, when the lead reaches 12°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 22 Nov, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Mon 21 Nov ran from sunset 16:56 Mon to sunrise 06:49, 13 h 53 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 55 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:49 to 16:55, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 15 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 16:55 to 06:50 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 44 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′. Anuradha spans 213°20′–226°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 213°20′. It leaves at 02:35 Wed, for Jyeshtha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 215.8° + 216.6° = 432.4°, one full turn and 72.4°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 66°40′–80°00′ is the 6th, Atiganda. It ends at 20:38, then Sukarma.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Pratipada is Kinstughna and the second Bava. Kinstughna runs until 18:00, when the lead reaches 6°; Bava until 06:45 Wed.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:49 to 06:50 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: Vrishchika gives Margashirsha. The Sun enters Dhanu on 16 Dec, inside the month. The next new moon, 21 Dec, finds it in Dhanu and begins Pausha.

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 22 Nov, with the Sun in Vrishchika, began Margashirsha. This Shukla paksha reads Margashirsha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 30 Mar 2033, 21:21 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 229.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2090; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1955.
