Panchang in Cuenca, Azuay, Ecuador Sun 31 May 2026

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 180°–192° is the 16th, Krishna Pratipada. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:14 here. Purnima ended at 03:45, before it. Pratipada ends at 06:07 Mon, when the lead reaches 192°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 31 May, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Sat 30 May ran from sunset 18:12 Sat to sunrise 06:14, 12 h 2 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:14 to 18:12, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 29 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:12 to 06:14 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 30 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′. Jyeshtha spans 226°40′–240°00′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 226°40′. It leaves at 08:38 Mon, for Mula.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 45.8° + 226.9° = 272.7°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 266°40′–280°00′ is the 21st, Siddha. It ends at 19:49, then Sadhya.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Pratipada is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava runs until 16:55, when the lead reaches 186°; Kaulava until 06:07 Mon.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:14 to 06:14 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 16 May 15:01 Sat to 14 Jun 21:54 Sun the Sun stayed in Vrishabha, entering Mithuna at 15 Jun 02:22 Mon, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Jyeshtha, before Jyeshtha itself.

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 14 Jun, with the Sun in Vrishabha, begins Jyeshtha (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Jyeshtha (Adhik) here, and Jyeshtha (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 18 Mar 2026, 20:23 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 71.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
